| 00:00:00 | OF SOUTH CAROLINA. |
| 00:00:04 | -- I LOVE SOUTH CAROLINA. |
| 00:00:05 | I AM THE PROUD DAUGHTER OF INDIAN IMMIGRANTS TO REMINDED MY BROTHERS, MY SISTER, AND ME HOW BLESSED WE WERE TO LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY. |
| 00:00:15 | 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. |
| 00:00:21 | MY PARENTS STARTED A BUSINESS OUT OF THE LIVING ROOM OF THEIR HOME AND 30 + YEARS LATER, IT WAS A MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR COMPANY. |
| 00:00:29 | THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE DAY THAT IT WAS EASY AND IT WAS NOT A SINGLE DAY THAT MY MOM AND DAD DID NOT PUT EVERYTHING THEY HAD INTO MAKING THAT BUSINESS. |
| 00:00:41 | PRESIDENT OBAMA, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, DO NOT TELL ME THAT MY PARENTS DID NOT BUILD THEIR BUSINESS. |
| 00:00:57 | [APPLAUSE] ALMOST 45 YEARS AFTER MY PARENTS FIRST BECAME AMERICANS, I STAND BEFORE YOU AND THEN TONIGHT AS THE PROUD GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA. |
| 00:01:08 | [APPLAUSE] WE BUILD THINGS IN THE PALMETTO STATE. |
| 00:01:15 | WE HAVE THREE OF THE FOUR LARGEST TIRE PRODUCERS IN THE WORLD AND WE'RE ABOUT TO BECOME THE NO. |
| 00:01:26 | 1 PRODUCING STATE IN THE COUNTRY. |
| 00:01:28 | "THE WALL STREET JOURNAL" SAYS ANYONE WHO IS THINKING THE U. |
| 00:01:36 | S. HAS LOST ITS CHOPS HAS NOT BEEN TO SOUTH CAROLINA. |
| 00:01:39 | WE HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL AND SO MUCH TO BE PROUD OF. |
| 00:01:42 | BUT LIKE SO MANY STATES, WE HAVE OUR CHALLENGES. |
| 00:01:46 | WHETHER THEY BE ON EMPLOYMENT OR EDUCATION OR POVERTY, AND LIKE SO MANY OF MY GOVERNORS, I WORK DAY IN AND DAY OUT TO TRY TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF THE THE PEOPLE OF MY STATE, AND, SADLY, THE HARDEST PART OF MY JOB CONTINUES TO BE THIS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. |
| 00:02:06 | THIS ADMINISTRATION, AND THIS PRESIDENT. |
| 00:02:13 | [APPLAUSE] AS I SAID TO MY PARENTS LOVE IT WHEN THEY CAME TO AMERICA. |
| 00:02:19 | IF YOU WORKED HARD, THE ONLY THINGS THAT COULD STOP YOU WERE THE LIMITS YOU PLACED ON YOURSELF. |
| 00:02:24 | UNFORTUNATELY, THESE PAST FEW YEARS, YOU COULD WORK HARD. |
| 00:02:28 | TRY TO BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS POSSIBLE, FOLLOW THE RULES, AND PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA WILL DO EVERYTHING HE CAN TO STAND IN YOUR WAY. |
| 00:02:43 | SOUTH CAROLINA RECENTLY PASSED ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION LAWS IN THE COUNTRY. |
| 00:02:49 | WHAT DID THIS PRESIDENT WHO HAS FAILED TO SECURE OUR BORDERS AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN ANY WAY DO? |
| 00:02:56 | HE SUED US. |
| 00:02:58 | IF THIS PRESIDENT REFUSES TO SECURE OUR BORDERS, REFUSES TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS FROM THE DANGERS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, AND STATES HAVE TO TAKE IT UPON OURSELVES. |
| 00:03:19 | WE SAID IN SOUTH CAROLINA THAT COME AT YOU HAVE TO SHOW A BIT FRIDAY TO BUY A SUDAFED, TO SET FOOT ON AN AIRPLANE, THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE TO SHOW A PICTURE I. |
| 00:03:31 | D. TO PROTECT ONE OF THE MOST AVAILABLE, MORE CENTRAL RIGHTS IN AMERICA, THE RIGHT TO VOTE. |
| 00:03:40 | [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] |
| 00:03:45 | AND WHAT HAPPENED? |
| 00:03:50 | PRESIDENT OBAMA STOPPED US. |
| 00:03:52 | AND NOW WE COME TO THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE OF THEM ALL. |
| 00:03:57 | IN 2009, SOUTH CAROLINA WAS BLESSED TO WELCOME A GREAT AMERICAN COMPANY THAT CHOSE TO STAY IN OUR COUNTRY, TO CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS. |
| 00:04:05 | THAT COMPANY WAS SELLING -- WAS BOWINGEING. |
| 00:04:19 | IT GAVE OUR STATE A SHOT IN THE ARM WHEN WE NEEDED IT. |
| 00:04:23 | AT THE SAME TIME, THEY EXPANDED THEIR NUMBERS IN WASHINGTON STATE. |
| 00:04:29 | NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS HURT BY THEIR DECISION. |
| 00:04:31 | NOT ONE. |
| 00:04:32 | AND WHAT DID PRESIDENT OBAMA AND HIS NATIONAL RELATIONS BOARD DO? |
| 00:04:38 | THEY SUED THIS ICONIC AMERICAN COMPANY. |
| 00:04:40 | IT WAS SHAMEFUL. |
| 00:04:42 | AND NOT WORTHY OF THE PROMISE OF AMERICA. |
| 00:04:51 | BUT WE DID ONE OF THE THINGS WE DO BEST IN SOUTH CAROLINA. |
| 00:05:01 | WE GOT LOUD. WE ARE FIGHTERS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. |
| 00:05:05 | WE WATCHED AN AMAZING THING HAPPENED. |
| 00:05:08 | YOU FOUGHT WITH US. |
| 00:05:09 | AND GUESS WHAT. |
| 00:05:12 | WE WON. |
| 00:05:22 | A FEW MONTHS AGO, HIGH SET ON THE TARMAC IN NORTH CHARLESTON AND WATCHED AS A NEW MAC DADDY PLANE ROLLED ONTO THE RUNWAY, SPORTING A "MADE WITH PRIDE IN SOUTH CAROLINA" DECAL AND SURROUNDED BY 6000 NON-UNION EMPLOYEES, A CHEERING AND SMILING AND SO PROUD OF WHAT THEY HAD BUILT. |
| 00:05:46 | [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] |
| 00:05:54 | WE DESERVE A PRESIDENT WHO WILL NOT SACRIFICE AMERICAN JOBS AND AMERICAN WORKERS TO PACIFY HIS BULLYING -- AMERICAN BUSINESSES ISDESERVE A GOVERNMENT THAT DOES NOT STAND IN THEIR WAY. |
| 00:06:10 | FIGHTING AMERICAN INGENUITY AND INNOVATION, THAT IS WHAT THIS PRESIDENT HAS MEANT TO THIS GOVERNOR. |
| 00:06:19 | THAT IS WHY THIS GOVERNOR WILL NOT STOP FIGHTING UNTIL WE SEND HIM HOME, BACK TO CHICAGO, AND SEND IT AND ANN -- AND SEND MITT AND ANN ROMNEY TO 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. |
| 00:06:37 | [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] |
| 00:06:38 | I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING MITT ROMNEY FOR SEVERAL YEARS. |
| 00:06:43 | THERE IS SO MUCH TO APPRECIATE ABOUT HIM. |
| 00:06:46 | HE FIXES THINGS'. |
| 00:06:48 | HE IS RESULTS-DRIVEN. |
| 00:06:50 | HE HAS TAKEN COMPANIES AND MADE THEM SUCCESSFUL P. |
| 00:06:54 | M. HE TOOK THE SOLID OLYMPICS AND MADE IT A PRIDE OF THIS COUNTRY. |
| 00:07:02 | AND, BY THE WAY, HE ACTUALLY BALANCED HIS BUDGET. |
| 00:07:11 | [APPLAUSE] THIS IS A MAN AT PEACE WITH WHO HE IS, WITH THE CHALLENGES HE FACES, AND WITH WHAT HE IT -- WHAT HE INTENDS TO ACCOMPLISH. |
| 00:07:19 | THIS IS NOT JUST A CANDIDATE LOOKING TO WIN AN ELECTION. |
| 00:07:23 | BUT A LEADER YEARNING TO RETURN OUR NATION BACK TO ITS POTENTIAL. |
| 00:07:27 | THIS IS A MAN WHO HAS A SILVER BULLET, HIS GREATEST ASSET BY FAR, THE FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES -- THE NEXT FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES ANN ROMNEY. |
| 00:07:47 | ANN IS THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF STRENGTH AND GRACE. |
| 00:07:51 | SHE DOES WHAT SOME MANY WOMEN IN AMERICA DO. |
| 00:07:54 | SHE BALANCES IN AN EXCEPTIONAL WAY. |
| 00:07:58 | SHE RAISED FIVE AMAZING BOYS, BATTLED MS, IS A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR. |
| 00:08:02 | THROUGH IT ALL, SHE WAS A TRUE PARTNER TO MITT. |
| 00:08:08 | ANN ROMNEY MAKES ALL WOMEN PROUD BY THE WAY SHE HAS CONDUCTED HER LIFE, BY A STRONG WOMAN OF FAITH, AS A MOTHER, AS A WIFE, AND AS A TRUE PATRIOT. |
| 00:08:18 | SHE IS AN AMAZING INSPIRATION TO ME AND FOR SOME MANY WOMEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. |
| 00:08:23 | [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] |
| 00:08:26 | NOT TOO LONG AGO, I TRAVELED TO CAMPAIGN FOR THE ROMNEY'SS. |
| 00:08:36 | TOWARD THE END OF THE DAY, TWO SELF-DESCRIBED INDEPENDENTS CAME UP TO ME AND SAID, WE LIKE WHAT WE HEAR ABOUT GOVERNOR ROMNEY. |
| 00:08:44 | 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. |
| 00:08:53 | [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] |
| 00:09:01 | THEY ARE SO RIGHT. |
| 00:09:02 | WE DESERVE A PRESIDENT WHO WILL TURN OUR ECONOMY AROUND. |
| 00:09:06 | WE DESERVE A PRESIDENT WHO WILL BALANCE OUR BUDGET. |
| 00:09:10 | WE DESERVE A PRESIDENT WHO WILL REFORM AND PROTECT OUR RETIREMENT PROGRAMS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. |
| 00:09:15 | WE DESERVE A PRESIDENT WHO WILL FIGHT FOR AMERICAN COMPANIES, NOT AGAINST THEM. |
| 00:09:25 | [APPLAUSE] WE DESERVE A PRESIDENT WHO WILL STRENGTHEN OUR MILITARY, NOT DESTABILIZE THEM. |
| 00:09:36 | [APPLAUSE] AMERICA DESERVES BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE TODAY. |
| 00:09:40 | WE DESERVE A PRESIDENT MITT ROMNEY. |
| 00:09:43 | [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] |
| 00:09:48 | THANK YOU. |
| 00:09:49 | GOD BLESS YOU. |
| 00:09:50 | AND HEMAY HE CONTINUED TO BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. |
