Republicans applaude Governor Daniels' response to State of the Union

INDIANAPOLIS -- On Wednesday, Republicans applauded Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels' response to the President's State of the Union Address.

In his speech, Daniels took aim at President Obama.

He says Obama’s plan to raise the middle class actually puts the nation's financial burdens on the middle class.

He also blamed the president for the political divide facing the country.

"No feature of the Obama presidency has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry favor with some Americans by castigating others. As in previous moments of national danger, we Americans are all in the same boat,” said Governor Daniels.

The governor will be in Winona Lake on Thursday and in Goshen on Friday.
