WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address charges that Obama has tried to divide Americans.

The response was offered by Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, who also said that Obama has resorted to "extremism" and "stifling, anti-growth policies."

Daniels said Obama's efforts in recent months to criticize the rich and raise their taxes is an attempt "to curry favor with some Americans by castigating others."

Daniels served as President George W. Bush's first budget chief and is a two-term governor. He is a foe of budget deficits. Critics say he served during the time the nation generated massive deficits.
