Cut her some slack. She isn't even officially in office yet. It sounds to me like she got something out of Obama most governors haven't even had the guts to bring up.

I wasn't being critical of her, just noting that the old adage "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me "

She took Obama at his word, which is the same thing as taking a conman at his word

[Average Al]

She took his word as an opportunity to beat his HC plan.
She knows what she is dealing with in Obama.

She says she took him at his word, let him prove himself to be the liar he is.

Two things jumped out at me in this article:

First is the one that you've pegged regarding believing a conman. Secondly, was the statement

Obama told her he would consider letting South Carolina opt out

"LET"? I did not realize that we had voted for a dictator yet! Where is Congress in this deal?
