That was my first thought. This is a really egregious breach of protocol, so amazingly incompetent that it must actually be Hillary sabotaging Obama. Did they really think it wouldn't make it into the domestic news? Is Obama sabotaging Hillary by misinforming her of timelines?
Just wow, what the heck is going on that they are willing to step on the toes of all 50 governors (don't think for a minute that the other 49 don't feel the prick of this insult to AZ)?
The southern governors are already pissed off about the various cock-ups in the federal response to the oil spill and now the state department is out informing other countries about internal state matters w/o informing the govs first. Just wow.
That's what utter weakness and abject incompetence brings. But man, with Obama waging passive-aggressive war against at least two states in one day...Lord knows, you can't tell the players even with a program.
