Republicans took advantage of the chance to blast President Obama Wednesday before the first White House Twitter Townhall.

Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and Jon Huntsman publicized South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's question to Obama:

Why is your administration supporting the NLRB’s job killing policies in South Carolina? #AskObama

The field of Republican presidential candidates have spoken out about the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) lawsuit against Boeing in the past, all opposing the NLRB's action in the case. Romney, Pawlenty and Huntsman retweeted Haley's question. Romney added hi! s own hashtag: #ObamaIsntWorking

Using the townhall hashtag #AskObama, candidates Romney, Rick Santorum and Herman Cain also tweeted questions related to unemployment. Romney tweeted the Republican refrain, "Where are the jobs?"  

Haley has spoken out strongly about the lawsuit in the past due to the significant impact that the results of the lawsuit will have on her state. The NLRB alleged that Boeing moved a production plant to South Carolina to get around worker labor strikes in Washington.
