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.

More quotes by Mitch Daniels
The true enemies of Social Security and Medicare are those who defend an imploding status quo.
Mitch Daniels
We do not accept that ours will ever be a nation of haves and have-nots. We must always be a nation of haves and soon-to-haves.
Mitch Daniels
We Hoosiers hold to some quaint notions. Some might say we 'cling' to them, though not out of fear or ignorance. We believe in paying our bills. We have kept our state in the black throughout the recent unpleasantness, while cutting rather than raising taxes, by practicing an old tribal ritual - we spend less money than we take in.
Mitch Daniels
Every successful enterprise has a very clear strategic purpose.
Mitch Daniels
The public is increasingly disgusted with a steady diet of defamation, and prepared to reward those who refrain from it.
Mitch Daniels
We designed both our state employee health plans and the one we created for low-income Hoosiers as Health Savings Accounts, and now in the tens of thousands these citizens are proving that they are fully capable of making smart, consumerist choices about their own health care.
Mitch Daniels
If our nation goes over a financial Niagara, we won't have much strength and, eventually, we won't have peace. We are currently borrowing the entire defense budget from foreign investors. Within a few years, we will be spending more on interest payments than on national security. That is not, as our military friends say, a 'robust strategy.'
Mitch Daniels
Our main task is not to see that people of great wealth add to it, but that those without much money have a greater chance to earn some.
Mitch Daniels
We believe it wrong ever to take a dollar from a free citizen without a very necessary public purpose, because each such taking diminishes the freedom to spend that dollar as its owner would prefer.
Mitch Daniels
If we don't believe in Americans, who will? I do believe. I've seen it in the people of our very typical corner of the nation.
Mitch Daniels
I believe that the Right to Work issue is a perfectly appropriate one for Indiana to look at.
Mitch Daniels
All great enterprises have a pearl of faith at their core, and this must be ours: that Americans are still a people born to liberty. That they retain the capacity for self-government. That, addressed as free-born, autonomous men and women of God-given dignity, they will rise yet again to drive back a mortal enemy.
Mitch Daniels
As Republicans, our first concern is for those waiting tonight to begin or resume the climb up life's ladder.
Mitch Daniels
The president's grand experiment in trickle-down government has held back rather than sped economic recovery. He seems to sincerely believe we can build a middle class out of government jobs paid for with borrowed dollars.
Mitch Daniels
I refer to the debt - the new red menace. This time consisting of ink.
Mitch Daniels
If freedom's best friends cannot unify around a realistic, actionable program of fundamental change, one that attracts and persuades a broad majority of our fellow citizens, big change will not come
Mitch Daniels
We say that anytime budgets are balanced and an ample savings account has been set aside, government should just stop collecting taxes. Better to leave that money in the pockets of those who earned it, than to let it burn a hole, as it always does, in the pockets of government
Mitch Daniels
Sure, things could always have been done better, but I just wish people would drop their political hammers for a few weeks, as happened in 2001, and work on the problem at hand
Mitch Daniels
Among the weeds choking out growth and good government are the hundreds of boards, commissions, and advisory committees that have sprouted over the years. They devour time, money, and energy far beyond any real contribution they make.
Mitch Daniels
I took a vow of political celibacy.
