Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana.
Mitchell Elias "Mitch" Daniels, Jr. (born April 7, 1949) is the 49th and current Governor of the U.S. state of Indiana. A Republican, he began his first four-year term as governor on January 10, 2005, and was elected to his second term by an 18-point margin on November 4, 2008. Previously, he was the Director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget under George W. Bush. He was formerly Senior Vice President of Eli Lilly and Company, Indiana's largest corporation, where he was in charge of the corporation's business strategy. He is cited as a rising star in the Republican Party, and was widely speculated[1][2][3] to be a candidate for President of the United States in 2012 before choosing not to run.[4]

(3,660 posts)The man responsible for spending this country into it's largest deficit EVER, is giving s speech attacking the President on how he has failed to fix the economy. This is why the GOP is so fucked up. They don't even see the irony in this response. WOW just wow.

(37,540 posts)He had to have drawn the short straw.
He should have been introduced as George W. Bush''s budget director. What a joke.
