I could not get the Indian out of me, of all the speeches on the net, I wanted to watch Nikki’s speech first, then I watched other’s speeches, I may be biased, but hell, hers’ was the best speech, she should have been the key note speaker.
Look at her speech, well punctuated, thought out, and delivered with great applause lines, poised and she kept that smile non-stop one her. Although I do not agree with her exaggerated Obama Bashing, but that is what the convention crows wants to hear.
Her's was the best introduction of Mitt Romney and I hope she gets the credit. She can make Romney look like a saint. I hope she does not go on the campaign, Romney is not good for America (http://smirkingchimp.com/thread/mike-ghouse/45147/2016-obama-s-america-a-disgustingly-dishonest-film) and ( http://smirkingchimp.com/thread/mike-ghouse/45195/gov-christie-back-off-on-womens-condescending-issues-romney-ryan-are-not-worth-standing-up-for)
I bet, they are going to use her speech for Romney Commercials and I would also bet, she will run for the President in 2016, she has the communications skills, that very few in Republican party have. She just needs to move to the center, and she will make it. We are sick of extremists among Republicans.

A transcript of Nikki
Haley's remarks Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention.

I
am the proud daughter of Indian immigrants who reminded my brothers, my sister
and me every single day how blessed we were to live in this country.
They loved the fact that only in America, we could be as successful as we
wanted to be and nothing would stand in our way. My parents started a business
out of the living room of our home and, 30-plus years later, it was a
multimillion dollar company.
But
there wasn't a single day that was easy and there wasn't a single day my Mom
and Dad didn't put everything they had into making that business a success.
So,
President Obama, with all due respect, don't tell me that my parents didn't
build their business.
Almost
forty-five years after my parents first became Americans, I stand before you
and them tonight as the proud governor of the state of South Carolina.
We
build things in the Palmetto State. We build planes. We build cars.
We
have three of the four largest tire producers in the world and are about to
become the number one tire-producing state in the country.
And
not too long ago, The Wall Street Journal said, "Anyone still thinking the
U.S. has lost its manufacturing chops hasn't been to South Carolina." We
have so much potential and so much to be proud of.
But
like so many states, we have our challenges, whether they be unemployment or
education or poverty. And like so many of my fellow governors, I work day in
and day out to try and improve the lives of the people of my state.
And,
sadly, the hardest part of my job continues to be this federal government, this
administration, this president.
As
I said, my parents loved that when they came to America, if you worked hard,
the only things that could stop you were the limits you placed on yourself.
Unfortunately, these past few years, you can work hard, try to be as successful
as possible, follow the rules, and President Barack Obama will do everything he
can to stand in your way.
South
Carolina recently passed one of the most innovative illegal immigration laws in
the country. What did this president - who has failed to secure our borders and
address this issue in any meaningful way - do? He sued us.
If
this President refuses to secure our borders, refuses to protect our citizens
from the dangers of illegal immigration, then states have an obligation to take
it on ourselves.
We
said in South Carolina that if you have to show a picture ID to buy Sudafed and
you have to show a picture ID to set foot on an airplane, then you should have
to show a picture ID to protect one of the most valuable, most central, most
sacred rights we are blessed with in America - the right to vote.
And
what happened? President Obama stopped us.
And
now we come to the most unbelievable of them all. In 2009, South Carolina was
blessed to welcome a great American company that chose to stay in our country
to continue to do business. That company was Boeing.
Boeing
started a new line for their 787 Dreamliner, creating 1,000 new jobs in South
Carolina, giving our state a shot in the arm when we truly needed it. At the
same time, they expanded their job numbers in Washington state by 2,000. Not a
single person was hurt by their decision. Not one.
And
what did President Obama and his National Labor Relations Board do? They sued
this iconic American company. It was shameful. And not worthy of the promise of
America.
But
we did one of the things we do best in South Carolina - we got loud. We're
fighters in South Carolina, and as we fought we watched an amazing thing
happen: you fought with us.
And
guess what, we won.
A
few months ago, I sat on the tarmac at the Boeing facility in North Charleston
and watched as a brand new, mac daddy plane rolled onto the runway sporting a
"Made With Pride In South Carolina" decal and surrounded by 6,000
nonunion employees, cheering, smiling and so proud of what they had built.
We
deserve a president who won't sacrifice American jobs and American workers to
pacify the bullying union bosses he counts as political allies.
American
businesses deserve a federal government that doesn't stand in their way, not
one that tries to chase them overseas.
Slighting
American ingenuity and innovation, that's what this president has meant to
South Carolina. That's what this president has meant to this governor.
And
that's why this governor will not stop fighting until we send him home, back to
Chicago, and send Mitt and Ann Romney to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
I
have had the pleasure of knowing Mitt Romney for several years now. There's so
much to appreciate about him.
He
fixes things. He's results driven.
He's
taken broken companies and made them successful. He took a failing Olympics and
made it a source of pride for our country. He went into a Democratic state, cut
taxes, brought in jobs and improved education.
Oh,
and by the way, he actually balanced his budget.
This
is a man at peace with who he is, with the challenges he faces, and with what
he intends to accomplish. This is a man who is not just a candidate looking to
win an election, but a leader yearning to return our nation to its greatest
potential.
And
this is a man who has a silver bullet, his greatest asset, by far, the next
First Lady of the United States, Ann Romney.
Ann
is the perfect combination of strength and grace. She does what so many women
in America do - she balances, in an exceptional way.
She
raised five amazing boys, battled MS, is a breast cancer survivor, and through
it all was a true partner to Mitt at every turn.
Ann
Romney makes all women proud by the way she has conducted her life as a strong
woman of faith, as a mother, as a wife and as a true patriot. She is an amazing
inspiration for me and for so many women across this country.
Not
too long ago I travelled to Michigan to campaign for the Romneys. Towards the
end of the day, two self-described independent voters came up to me and said,
"We like all that we hear about Governor Romney, and although we don't
know everything about him, what we do know, without a doubt, is that we deserve
better than what we have today."
They
are so right. We deserve a president who will turn our economy around.
We
deserve a president who will balance our budget.
We
deserve a president who will reform and protect our retirement programs for
future generations.
We
deserve a president who will fight for American companies, not against them. We
deserve a president who will strengthen and support our military, not
destabilize them.
America
deserves better than what we have today. We deserve a President Mitt
Romney.
Thank
you, God bless you, and may He continue to bless the United States of America.
