| 00:00:04 | GOOD EVENING. |
| 00:00:06 | WE ARE LIFE FROM BACKSTAGE. |
| 00:00:10 | TODAY, I HAVE THE HONOR TO BE WITH MICHIGAN DELEGATES MICHELLE VORHEES. |
| 00:00:18 | WHY DON'T YOU TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF. |
| 00:00:23 | >> I AM A WIFE AND MOTHER AND I COME FROM A SMALL TOWN IN MICHIGAN. |
| 00:00:29 | I AM A SMALL-BUSINESS OWNER. |
| 00:00:31 | >> I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE A COMMERCIAL REAL-ESTATE BUSINESS. |
| 00:00:35 | HOW HAS YOUR BUSINESS FAIRED UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA? |
| 00:00:37 | >> LET ME SAY THAT OBAMA DID NOT BUILD MY BUSINESS, BUT HE IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO TEAR DOWN. |
| 00:00:46 | UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION, THE REGULATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS THAT HE IS PLACING ON THE BANKS HAVE CAUSED THEM TO STOP LENDING MONEY. |
| 00:00:55 | EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE EXCELLENT CREDIT AND WE HAVE NEVER MISSED A PAYMENT, WE'RE NOT SURE WHETHER WE WILL GET THE FINANCING TO CONTINUE FUNDING OUR BUSINESS. |
| 00:01:04 | THIS CREATES AN TERM -- UNCERTAINTY SO WE'RE NOT HIRING. |
| 00:01:07 | THIS MAKES FOR 12 HOUR TO 14 HOUR DAYS THAT WE HAVE TO WORK TO KEEP OUR BUSINESS RUNNING. |
| 00:01:14 | I HAVE AN 18-YEAR-OLD TYSON OFF TO COLLEGE AND A 90-YEAR-OLD MOTHER-IN-LAW THAT WE'RE CARING FOR. |
| 00:01:21 | I DO NOT SEE ANY END IN SIGHT IF THINGS DID NOT CHANGE. |
| 00:01:26 | I WANT TO SEE THAT WE GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR EVERYTHING WE HAVE. |
| 00:01:30 | MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 35 YEARS AND DURING THAT TIME, WE HAVE WORKED HARD AND PLAY BY RULES, WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT. |
| 00:01:39 | WE THOUGHT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE WOULD HAVE A GREAT RETIREMENT AND A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS THAT WE COULD LEAVE TO OUR KIDS BUT RIGHT NOW I DO NOT KNOW IF I WILL GET TO RETIRE. |
| 00:01:49 | I AM 55. |
| 00:01:50 | I DO NOT WANT TO START OVER AGAIN AND DO SOMETHING ELSE. |
| 00:01:53 | UNDER THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, I FEEL OUR DREAMS ARE SLIPPING AWAY. |
| 00:01:57 | >> HER STORY IS ONE OF THE MANY OF SMALL-BUSINESS OWNERS AND WHAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH TODAY DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TRADE WE GO BACK LIVE TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. |
| 00:11:14 | THANK YOU. (music) [APPLAUSE] >> PLEASE |
