Gov. Tim Pawlenty RNC Speech Part 1 of 3

Tim Pawlenty visited Arkansas last week. In the video clip above he really jumps on President Obama for increasing wasteful spending by our government to new heights.

I wanted to include some posts from the article “Excerpts: Tim Pawlenty’s Courage to Stand.” Former Minnesota Governor Discusses Losing the VP Slot to Sarah Palin and How President Obama ‘Broke His Promise’ in His New Book:”

In his new autobiography, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty
reflects on his evolving political and personal life,
from his humble upbringing in St. Paul, Minn., to the
governor’s mansion. An evangelical Christian and a
booming voice for the Republican party, Pawlenty has
said several times he is strongly considering a
presidential bid in 2012.

Read excerpts from his book, “Courage to Stand: An
American Story,” below:

Pawlenty on preparing materials for the vice
presidential vetting process in 2008:

“It was kind of comical at times — the Governor and
First Lady in the middle of the night organizing stacks
of paper now strewn all over the computer-room
floor, trying to make tabs and get it all in the right
place, checking to see if the three-hole punch worked
and then running out to Kinko’s for photocopies.”

Pawlenty reflecting on McCain’s choice of then-
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his 2008 running mate:

“Sarah Palin has become a force of nature in the
Republican Party. She inspires people in the
conservative cause. She exudes enthusiasm, and that
energy is the fuel of grassroots politics. We need that
kind of energy and fuel from people all over this
country if we want a shot at setting America back on
course. While some might still debate McCain’s
selection, the undeniable truth is that it took courage
to stand up to the critics, the pundits, and the
expectations of the media and the Washington
establishment and choose Sarah Palin in the first
place.”
