Palin is the latest to side with S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley on the Boeing issue. Palin chimes in on NLRB fight

Sarah Palin sent a subtle love note to South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on Wednesday, with a Facebook message attacking President Barack Obama and the National Labor Relations Board’s fight with Boeing.

“Does the President support the rights of businesses and working class people in right-to-work states to make sound decisions without government regulatory agencies unfairly punishing them?” Palin wrote. “Does the President realize the real concern here is not that businesses will choose to locate in one state over another? It’s that businesses will choose to locate in other countries because thanks to the Obama administration’s job killing policies and over-reaching regulatory boards the business climate in the United States is growing toxic.”


The NLRB's complaint against Boeing for building a plant in South Carolina in response to a strike in Washington State has become the pet issue of Haley and any Republican hoping to win her support in the South Carolina presidential primary. Palin is a little late to the game, though. Many of the other GOP presidential contenders have already staked out a stance behind Boeing (and Haley), including Tim Pawlenty, who was sure to bring up the spat during last week’s debate in South Carolina.

“If we want to keep good paying jobs for working class families in the United States then you shouldn’t pit South Carolina against Washington state because eventually every state will suffer when businesses declare ‘enough is enough’ with these tactics and decide to relocate in more business-friendly countries,” Palin wrote.
