Starting slowly, moderate Mitch Daniels passed on a few in the sweet spot before unloading on one and sending it over the center field wall in a place everyone could see it. His message hung high in the lights and fell slowly into the upper stands, a shot which nobody would ever consider throwing back out onto the field. A home run which will resonate in the memories of so many after candidate Obama wandered back to the locker room earlier unsure of where he was.
Daniels: “The extremism that stifles the development of homegrown energy or cancels a perfectly safe pipeline that would employ tens of thousands, or jacks up consumer utility bills for no improvement in either human health or world temperature, is a pro-poverty policy. It must be replaced by a passionate pro-growth approach that breaks all ties and calls all close ones in favor of private sector jobs that restore opportunity for all and generate the public revenues to pay our bills. That means a dramatically simpler tax system of fewer loopholes and lower rates, a pause in the mindless piling on of expensive new regulations that devour dollars that otherwise could be used to hire somebody. It means maximizing on the new domestic energy technologies that are the best break our economy’s gotten in years.”
He continued future attempts to divide us and refused to accept the responsibility he demanded.
Daniels defined America’s problems, labeled them as extremism, and did not refrain from identifying the lies. You could envision the stadium stadium, unwilling to sit down, and the never ending applause. Whether Obama promises may continue, again, like Steve Jobs, the choice remains yours.
