7.  Nikki Haley

"My parents started a business out of the living room of our home and, 30-plus years later, it was a multimillion dollar company. So, President Obama, with all due respect, don't tell me that my parents didn't build their business." 

-- Governor Haley

 

BONUS: (By popular demand) Bobby Jindal

"As we embrace the American dream and the freedoms it represents, we must also ensure that those who wish to enjoy those freedoms become a part of our society and learn to speak our language."

"At 18, I guarded the parking lot at the Catholic church bingos. Now my dad made sure I could take care of myself. I carried a Smith and Wesson 357 magnum."

"After all, when the world looks to America, they look to us because we are the most successful political and economic experiment in human history. "

-- Secretary Rice
