Republican governors attacked President Barack Obama’s economic policies,warning that the $787 billion stimulus package will saddle states with obligations they can’t afford.

Obama’s “short-term” thinking and deficit spending are “digging yet another hole for ourselves,” said South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford,a Republican,on “Fox News Sunday.” He said he may not accept all of the $8 billion in stimulus money designated for his state. Democrats criticized that approach as insensitive.
