Dear President Obama,
Here's where we stand. Let's do lunch.
Sincerely, two Rushpublican governors with national ambitions:
Party of No v. Party of One. Party of One, you may be seated now. Party of No, this isn't my station. You'll have to dine elsewhere. Besides, we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty—staking a claim to a positive, policy-oriented profile—described his merit-pay program for teachers to Obama, and invited him to visit.
South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, arguing for an alternative structure to the stimulus, wrote that he would accept three-quarters of the federal money, but asked for a waiver permitting him to use the remaining quarter to pay down his state's debt.
