NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. - Several minutes into a Michele Bachmann town hall meeting here Thursday, freshman Republican Tim Scott announced he had a question from an undecided voter named Nikki.
Gov. Nikki Haley walked out from behind the stage and joined the presidential candidate and fellow tea party favorite in haranguing the Obama administration.
Continue Reading?Our president decided to allow the National Labor Relations Board to try to stop what Boeing is doing in South Carolina,? said Haley, referring to the NRLB?s complaint that Boeing moved the plant from Washington state to South Carolina to punish union workers there, in violation of law. ?It?s the most un-American thing I?ve ever seen. If you were president?knowing he is saying he can?t do anything because it?s an independent agency, what would you do??
?Why thank you for asking that question,? Bachmann said, inviting the crowd to applaud Haley, and promising she would take her calls if elected president. ?If the NRLB would also be continuing their current stance, they may not last very long. Once they see what I do to the EPA, they may shape up.?
Gov. Haley holds a coveted endorsement in this key battleground state, and though she?s voiced positive views on both Bachmann and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, she has said she will not endorse anyone for the Republican nomination yet.
Bachmann, standing before an overwhelmingly friendly conservative audience in the sprawling campus grounds of Trident Technical College, told the voters she believed God was ?big enough? to deliver an electoral miracle, and was met with a standing ovation in the crowd, capping a strong performance after two weeks of pounding the pavement in South Carolina in search of the conservative voters she must win over to best Perry in the state?s primary.
Bachmann answered a handful of questions from the crowd, including illegal immigration and gay marriage, allowing her more time to expound upon opinions previously discussed in the presidential debates.
She also assailed the president?s record of job creation in minority communities ? noting high unemployment rates among African American and Hispanic youth. ?[These kids] wanted a job, to work. Every segment of this society the president has failed on jobs,? Bachmann said.
The Minnesota congresswoman struck an urgent tone, issuing dire warnings to voters over the consequences not electing a Republican who will repeal Obama?s health care law in 2012.
?I have wept in Washington DC watching what?s happening to our country,? Bachmann said.
Speaking in hushed and sometimes pleading tones, she warned that the implementation of Obama?s health care law would be a death knell to conservatism in America. ?You can?t put socialized medicine into a country and think that ever again you can elect as president a Republican or conservative or a even or tea partier and think somehow we?re going to get back to limited government, it won?t happen, because socialized medicine is the definition of big government,? she said.
?That?s why this is it. 2012 is it,? she added, calling it a ?last chance election? for the country.
