Carney ducks NLRB question with ‘independent agency’ defense, Gov. Nikki Haley not pleased
The Daily Caller ^ | 5/11/11 | Matthew Boyle

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney deflected a question on National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) actions against the Boeing Company in South Carolina on Wednesday, and the state’s Republican Gov. Nikki Haley isn’t pleased.

“Well, it’s obviously been in the news, so we are aware of it, but I would refer any questions about it to the NLRB because it is an independent agency, and we do not get involved in particular enforcement matters of independent agencies,” Carney said. “I don’t have a reaction to this from the President. And I think the fact that he’s weighed in on outside issues doesn’t mean that he will weigh in on an independent agency’s enforcement action.”

At a Tuesday Chamber of Commerce press conference, Haley said the “independent agency” defense would be a “cop out” and the administration should address the issue. Now that the administration has used the “independent agency” argument, Haley told The Daily Caller she’s disappointed, comparing the president’s choice to refuse to take a stand on this issue to whether he’d ignore an independent agency misapplying Obamacare.

Once again it is the women of the party who are taking the fight to Obama.

A man eating lion would starve to death in the GOP caucus.

Everytime I see that fool (Carney) I immediately visualize a clown giving a performance before a audience (White House Press Corps) of clowns.
