South Dakota Governor did not hold back when she called out former President Barck Obama’s “ridiculous” message in his new book, “The Promised Land.” Throughout the book, Obama focuses on the recurring theme of America’s future writing if Americans can “live up to the meaning of our creed.” Noem blasted the former President for his actions as President who is now essentially calling Americans morally bankrupt and claiming our nation is in deep need of repair.
The South Dakota governor replied to a photo of Barck Obama’s book saying, “What a ridiculous message. Obama had 8 years, including 2 with full control of Congress. He sent our jobs to China, left our healthcare system in disarray, our foreign policy in shambles & our people divided. Instead of blaming Trump, Obama should consider what lead to 2016.”

Townhall reports:
“The country is in the grips of a global pandemic and an accompanying economic crisis, with more than 230,000 Americans dead, businesses shuttered, and millions of people out of work. Across the nation, people from all walks of life have poured into the streets to protest the deaths of unarmed Black men and women at the hands of the police. Perhaps most troubling of all, our democracy seems to be teetering on the brink of crisis—a crisis rooted in a fundamental contest between two opposing visions of what America is and what it should be; a crisis that has left the body politic divided, angry, and mistrustful, and has allowed for an ongoing breach of institutional norms, procedural safeguards, and the adherence to basic facts that both Republicans and Democrats once took for granted.” [An excpert from Obama’s book, “The Promised Land]

It couldn’t help but remind us of when former first lady Michelle Obama said she was finally proud of her country after so many Americans had voted for her husband in the 2008 presidential election.
“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country — and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change,” Mrs. Obama said. Obama would later defend his wife and claim she was talking about American politics.

Gov. Noem is one of what seems like only a handful of governors that truly get it when it comes to both keeping citizens safe and protecting their livelihoods. She refused to lock down her state, even when it seemed like the trend. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, for instance, just shuttered Michigan again over the weekend after a rise in COVID cases. But Noem has kept businesses open. In doing so, she likely saved thousands of jobs.
Governor Noem has not been afraid to stand up for the people of South Dakota and call out Democrats for their damaging messaging, especially their handling of the Coronavirus pandemic. While managing to keep the people of South Dakota safe she has also put their needs first helping save the livelihoods of countless families.
