WASHINGTON — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon called the National Guard to Ferguson late Sunday without letting the White House know first.

“Folks didn’t know,” an administration official told BuzzFeed Monday. “The White House did not know they were sending it in.”

Nixon gave “no heads up,” the official said.

LOL ... not my fault moment ... LOL

[iceskater]

I’m surprised....it was on the news! That’s how the administration claims to find out about most things.

[ColdOne]

lol....sounds like a great new hastag!

[Boonie]

Worked the other way, huh, White House???*LOL*

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Governor Jedediah Nixon told the looters that the police were wrong and that they had a right to express their emotions "in an appropriate way."

What did he expect to happen next?

[The Antiyuppie]

Yeah, but he saw this on TV.

Dance, Bammie, Dance. Let the cities burn.

without letting the White House know first

So? It is a state matter.

But, my bottom dollar is betting the White Hut AGAIN not knowing about something is just cover in case things go wrong.

[dalebert]

I do not believe it

[Enlightened1]

That’s because the Administration has been on vacation. Dancing, with all smiles, the night away while the world burns.

[rdcbn]

I’m skeptical of this

What difference, at this point, does it make?

Maybe Nixon was emulating the White House style of non-notification before dumping illegal alien children in his state.

[TRY ONE]

Last time I looked at the Constitution, the Governors do not report to the President of the US!

Is this the same Obama who said that he already knows what's going on at the border and doesn't need to go there?

Is this the same Obama who said that the Presidency follows him everywhere 24/7 when he's on vacation while the middle east erupts?

National Guard is a State issue - not federal...he didn’t have to notify Barry...the NEWS - trying to stir the soup and spill it to make a new mess...
