I’m happy to see that my Governor isn’t afraid to speak her mind.

[skeeter]

Sounds like Haley is criticizing both Obama and the GOP leadership, Ed.

[Don Corleone]

This is how a Marxist community organizer works. No surprise. Move on(.org) peasants.

[jiggyboy]

Nikki, you are the man, so to speak. Republicans, Democrats, and Obama are indeed all to blame.

[cookcounty]

You git ‘em, girl!!

[Venturer]

It’s Obama’s way or the Highway.

The Democrats are busy kissing his ass and The Republicans are letting him get away with this crap.

Our Congress today is useless, and Obama is taking advantage of it.Bust his ass open and file for impeachment. Stop playing with this buffoon.

Lay out the facts that if we don’t do something we are going into bankruptcy and default.

“””“My kids could go and find $83 billion out of a $4 trillion budget,” Haley said. “This is not rocket science.”

It would help if hussein had a budget.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I have personally been told by some high profile Republicans on a confidential basis that in personal meetings with them Obama is rude, condescending, arrogant, sarcastic, and just basically obnoxious. Like “why am I even wasting my valuable time talking to you troglodytes?”

Most of them react the same way that Gov. Haley did.

“My kids could go and find $83 billion out of a $4 trillion budget,” Haley said. “This is not rocket science.”

THIS is the key message, and one that should be the centerpiece of our party message. Ridicule is a tool the left uses, and we need to do it right back. Frankly, Obama is insulting voter's intelligence in saying there is nothing to cut. It is a joke. One could cut 30% tomorrow and it would have no impact on any critical service provided.

[Cyber Liberty]

Small wonder Obama chased the press out of the room when the governors wanted to start asking questions.

I'm more than a little disappointed none of the Governors stood up and said "If the press has to leave, then so do I." You can't have private discussions with Obama. He lies too much about what happens in private meetings.

I will never give another penny to anyone with an (R) after their name. I’m a stay homer now. We’re a one party country.

[Colorado Doug]

Why is Congress letting the Executive branch control the purse strings in the first place? Obama is trying to make the cuts hurt so he can blame that on Republicans. Why doesn’t Congress cut about half of EPA and Homeland Insecurity’s budgets for starters?

[Clock King]

Obama's Jedi mind tricks didn't work.

fear-mongering ->
"Your state will have children starving in the streets if you don't tell your GOP pals to give me everything I want."
"We'll have to turn those illegal immigrants loose if you don't do what I say."
"The Feds may not be able to respond in an emergency if a natural disaster happens."
"You know, we may have to delay business flights in and out your state.."

I don't blame the governors for getting pissed. This teenage, high-school, spoiled-child c*** is unacceptable coming from grown adults who should know how to do their job.

[1010RD]

I wouldn’t have gone if I were governor. Send your top finance guy instead and say, “I’m busy running my state, fixing problems and finding solutions. The President sets the priorities for the Executive Branch. If Pres. Obama cannot find two cents of savings or efficiencies he’s not fit to be President and should step down for someone who can.”

We need to call Obama on this and beat him with it.
