Rubio Marco

Remember this name. He will likely be a presidential candidate, vice presidential candidate or at minimum the key note speaker at the next RNC Convention. There is a reason that the Democrats sent Clinton down to Florida to try and talk his competitor in dropping the race so Christ could potentially win as a Independent and it is that this guy will pull some of that hispanic/latino vote away from Obama and they know it. He is charasmatic, successful and he has a great story about his family's migration to the US.

Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida offered the Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, focusing on growth, economic opportunity and immigrants.

"This opportunity - to make it to the middle class or beyond no matter where you start out in life - it isn't bestowed on us from Washington. It comes from a vibrant free economy where people can risk their own money to open a business," he said.

He also slammed Obama for his economic policies. "President Obama? He believes it's the cause of our problems," said the Florida senator, who is considered a possible GOP candidate for president in 2016. "That the economic downturn happened because our government didn't tax enough, spend enough and control enough. And, therefore, as you heard tonight, his solution to virtually every problem we face is for Washington to tax more, borrow more and spend more."

< p>However, he ended with a message of hope. "Despite our differences, I know that both Republicans and Democrats love America. I pray we can come together to solve our problems, because the choices before us could not be more important."
