Video: President 2012: Was Mitch Daniels Misinterpreted on Indiana Fleebag Legislators?

Well, was the Indiana Governor misinterpreted?

“I need to clarify a confusion I personally caused yesterday,” Daniels said.  “Yesterday I began extemporaneous comments by saying that the activities of the last two days — and I think I gestured to the atrium — were entirely appropriate. I was talking about the protestors and those who came to express their views and the strength of those views. They are welcome here, today and every day. What they’ve done is completely appropriate. It was not to condone the activities of the House Democratic caucus, which is completely unacceptable of course. Rereading my own comments, I could see how they could have been misconstrued and a couple of people did. So just for those of you who did misunderstand, my bad, but I don’t want any question left.  Huge distinction between people exercising their first amendment rights and people who take a public paycheck, walk off the job, go to another state, and try to wreck the democratic process.”

Or was it a faulty pronoun?

CAVUTO: Governor, maybe you can clarify some things for me, sir, because there have been some critics of yours who’ve said “Well, we don’t quite know where Mitch Daniels is coming from.”

Specifically, on this issue of Democrats bolting the state. You had said at the time, I believe: “This is a perfectly legitimate part of the process.”

Did you say that? Because it sounds like what you say now is different.

DANIELS: Well, they can be forgiven, because I was a little careless with my words. Most people understood exactly what I meant. What I said was legitimate was the protests by union members and others out in the capitol of our state.

I was just simply saying they were within their First Amendment rights. I have always said what the Democrats did — walking off the job, taking taxpayer dollars over to a swimming pool in Illinois — was unacceptable and outrageous and embarrassing.

But there was one news story in which those two things were confused, and I’ll take the responsibility for not being clearer about my pronoun.

Nevertheless, clarification has been made and Mitch Daniels did confront the same issue as Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker did but six years previous. The issue confronting the Indiana Legislature was PRIVATE Right to Work laws.

Now, the Indiana Fleebaggers want to negotiate MORE issues before they return from Illinois.

How Mitch Daniels decides this FlAP will be watched as a predictor of Presidential leadership.
