Rubio Rebuts Obama’s State of the Union Address

|| Rubio on Obama: "you feel the failure of his leadership every single day of your life." ||

Failed Leadership.

The reason Republicans continually mention Florida Senator Marco Rubio as a potential vice presidential candidate is that he can articulate the conservative cause like few others.  On Saturday morning, Rubio used conservative principles to rebut President Obama’s divisive and demagogic State of the Union address.

“This president didn’t talk about his record for one simple reason; he doesn’t want you to know about it,” Rubio said, referring to President Barack Obama’s address to Congress Tuesday. “But you do know about it, because you feel the failure of his leadership every single day of your life.”

“He tells Americans worried about their jobs that the way to help them is to raise their bosses’ taxes, Rubio said. “He tells those who are hurting that the only way they can be better off, is for others to be worse off. He tells all of us that the only way for some of us to climb up the economic ladder is for others to be pulled down.”

“This divisive rhetoric, this effort to gain political support by convincing some that they will be better off if we punish others, this stuff has never worked anywhere it’s been tried,” Rubio added.

“No economic system is perfect,” Rubio said. “But the American free enterprise system has empowered millions of people in the past. I know, because I saw it with my own eyes. My father was a bartender. And I thank God every night that there was someone willing to risk their money to build a hotel on Miami Beach and later in Las Vegas where he could work.”

Marco Rubio is the answer to the lies of the left.  President Obama’s class warfare and Occupy Wall Street’s push for socialism do not stand a chance against his intelligent, cohesive, capitalist argument.  We need to hear much more from Rubio, whether from the campaign trail as the GOP’s vice presidential candidate, or from Washington, as a leader in the Senate.
