“I have a lot of admiration for the governor”, White House chief of staff Denis McDonough told reporters at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. “I think that showed in her remarks, and I commend her on a job well done”. In her speech, Gov. Haley alluded to Donald Trump, saying, “During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation”, Haley said during Tuesday’s speech.
Trump denounced the speech by Obama as words of a man who lives in a fantasyland. “It’s just wrong. It diminishes us in the eyes of the world”.

Obama also told the crowd – estimated by a fire marshal at 11,000 – that “we are far and away the strongest nation on the planet” and that it was unusual that some in the State of the Union audience last night didn’t applaud when he asserted the claim.
“I feel very strongly about illegal immigration”, he said. “She likes me more when I’m a giver of contributions than when I’m not”. ” ‘This is just something that we just learned in SC that I’m passing along”.
