GOP Governors Tell Obama How To Run A Lemonade Stand

A parade of successful GOP chief executives showed how both federalism and capitalism can lead us out of the economic wilderness and that the only climate we should be saving is the business one.

On a convention opening night with the theme "We Built It," one Republican governor after another reminded voters how it can and has been done in their states. They also stressed that conditions could be even better if they could work with a president who knew from personal experience how to create jobs rather than one who, as New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte observed, "has never even run a lemonade stand."

Ayotte related the tale of a Concord restaurant owner who told her he decided against opening a second location because it would trigger penalties under ObamaCare, what she called a "success tax" that prevents job creation in businesses large and small.

But it was the governors who stole the show with their belief that rights are endowed by our Creator and jobs are created by entrepreneurs who thrive in an environment where government, as Texas' Rick Perry once put it, is as inconsequential in our daily lives as possible.

Leading the pack Tuesday was keynote speaker Chris Christie of New Jersey. He raised the battle cry of a "second American century" characterized by sound governance and leadership willing to make tough choices. In heavily Democratic New Jersey, the budget was balanced, a surplus was built and jobs were created. "If we can do this in a blue state with a conservative Republican governor," he said, "Washington is out of excuses."

Knowing this punk though, he’ll get his daughters to work it for him.
