There are many ways to tell someone to go to hell. It doesn’t have to be to their face. Reserve your judgement until you see concrete results.
Of course saying “go to hell” to his face would be unprofessional (i.e. something one would expect Obama to do) but I was hoping for at least a post meeting statement that supports opposing the actions of the Obama admin. Again, I have only heard some media reports where LePage commended Obama for his pragmatic approach or something like that.
