Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.) took a swing at President Obama in a speech Sunday and rallied conservatives to fight Democrats' "big government" principals.

"We can no longer nibble around the edges of our unsustainable spending in Washington," said McCotter, who is considering a run for the White House. "We must fundamentally restructure big government into a citizen-driven government."

In the speech at the RightOnline Conference, McCotter received his biggest round of applause when he mocked President Obama's famed use of the teleprompter, suggesting that the White House "employ some cue card holders" in order to create jobs.
