Pinto Nag sends us a link to NBC News which gives South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley’s account of the one way conversation the governors had with President Obama in regards to National Guard cuts. According to Governor Haley, the mood was genial until the cits were mentioned and the President’s demeanor changed;<\/p>\n
“It automatically went into an aggressive nature by him, implying that, ‘Many of you have asked for cuts, this is what you said you wanted. Don’t start coming and now complaining that these cuts are now affecting you because you said you wanted it, now you’re going to get it and have to live with it,'” Haley said of the exchange, apparently toward the end of the meeting.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt really is a slap in the face to anyone who has served multiple times over the past decade and left their life to do this,\u201d added Haley, whose husband is a reservist who recently returned from a stint abroad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yeah, “many of you” refers to the Tea Party members of the Governors, it’s like saying “you people”. And I’m pretty sure that conservative Republicans didn’t expect all of the cuts would happen to defense. While I’ll be the first to say that there areas of defense that can be cut, as I’ve always said, the waste and abuse isn’t what is getting the axe. It’s the easy stuff, the stuff that won’t affect the right kind of voters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
