WASHINGTON — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon called the National Guard to Ferguson late Sunday without letting the White House know first.
“Folks didn’t know,” an administration official told BuzzFeed Monday. “The White House did not know they were sending it in.”
Nixon gave “no heads up,” the official said.

Nixon egged on the race hustlers and looters. What could possibly go wrong?
This could.

I thought the way Bammy ruled was by monitoring CNN 24/7.
Who would be surprised that the White Hut found out through its Media?

The National Guard reports up thru the chain of command to the Governor unless......the guard has been Federalized for national security reasons. Then it reports up thru the chain of command to the designated Commander that has OPCON (Read: Operational Control) As of right now the Governor is the Commander.

Doesn’t Nixon know he’s supposed to coordinate with the riot organizers?

Remember the “Know Nothing” party from our history courses?
(Current public school inmates can tune out, we’re beyond your “eddikation”)
We’ve got the “Know Nothing” president, and that phrase pertains to everything associated with this low IQ lying POS... (that somehow managed to get a law degree from Harvard).

Well the media tells us not to worry because Obama is aware of everything all over the world while on vacation. Silly us thinking he should be doing his job instead of golfing.

Why should he know? The governor has no obligation to contact or receive permission from the WH before they deploy the state National Guard.
