First, there are 2 separate lies they are telling with regard to Republican governors. The first one is that one you heard Jay Carney assert, that two Republican Governors, Herbert from Utah and Sandoval from Nevada, requested these reforms. Politico refuted this one yesterday noting first Sandoval’s response to Carney:

The second lie was what Carney has said in the past and what other surrogates have repeated, and that is that Romney requested these waivers when he was governor.
