[SC Gov] Nikki Haley slams Washington after meeting with Obama
Yahoo News ^ | Monday, February 25, 2013 | Chris Moody

During President Barack Obama's meeting with U.S. governors at the White House Monday, the president dismissed members of the press to hold a private, hourlong discussion with the visiting state executives. Whatever was said after the cameras left the room especially incensed South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley...

"I could not be more frustrated than I am right now," Haley told reporters after the meeting. She said that when she asked Obama if he would consider a last-minute plan to shave about 2 percent from the annual federal budget without increasing taxes, the answer was "no."

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

"There is no leadership. There is no confidence. There is nothing that shows us that they actually care about what they're doing," Haley said. "What they're doing is playing games, and we as the taxpayers are having to cover for their games. We're not going to do it anymore."

Haley also noted that "no one should be going home. No one should be playing golf. No one should be taking vacations."

She later added, "There is something very wrong in this town."

There is no leadership. There is no confidence

Which is why the economy still hasn't recovered.

I didn't like either McCain or Romney, but either of them would have demonstrated leadership and generated confidence.

Good to see genuine conservatives refusing to cave to the scumbag African communist Ubama and his Chicago mob.
Kudos to Nikki Haley.

Budget? What budget? Obozo hasn't had one for the past three years.

Frustrating, along with the media, the captain is determined to head full speed ahead into an iceberg!

Government will borrow the sequester in 28 days at the current rate. Nikki is right to be mad.

Probably the best point about all this budget nonsense.

Nikki doesn't get it either. It's not 2% from the budget; it's 2% from the rate of increase (read: from the baseline continuing resolution we've been operating under for the past four years in absence of a real federal budget).
