There are many lessons to be learned from the protests and outright abdication of duty by public labor unions and Democrats (but I repeat myself) in Wisconsin. One of them is that there can no longer be any doubts that President Obama has radical ideas about the proper balance and relationship between the federal and state governments.
From the Washington Post:
President Obama thrust himself and his political operation this week into Wisconsin’s broiling budget battle, mobilizing opposition Thursday to a Republican bill that would curb public-worker benefits and planning similar protests in other state capitals.
Obama accused Scott Walker, the state’s new Republican governor, of unleashing an “assault” on unions in pushing emergency legislation that would change future collective-bargaining agreements that affect most public employees, including teachers.
The president’s political machine worked in close coordination Thursday with state and national union officials to get thousands of protesters to gather in Madison and to plan similar demonstrations in other state capitals.
Their efforts began to spread, as thousands of labor supporters turned out for a hearing in Columbus, Ohio, to protest a measure from Gov. John Kasich (R) that would cut collective-bargaining rights.
By the end of the day, Democratic Party officials were organizing additional demonstrations in Ohio and Indiana, where an effort is underway to trim benefits for public workers. Some union activists predicted similar protests in Missouri, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Let me make my position perfectly clear: The president of the United States has no business whatsoever interfering, especially by using his campaign apparatus, with a state government’s dealings with its employees.
No. Business. Whatsoever......

Obviously, Obama is no President.
Who is this Kyle Wingfield and will he still have a job tommorow?
Probably not, if I know the Democrats.
Will his body be found slumped over the steering wheel of his parked car Centennial Olympic Park early one morning next week or maybe turn up at one of Atlanta’s land fills?
Does anyone have any doubt that we have the wrong man in the White House? He is bought and paid for by the Unions and we will never get out of debt with this prostitute for the Unions in the White House.
I wouldn’t be so sure. The AJC has been showing a few signs of getting a clue. I think perhaps they finally figured out that advertisers really do want to reach suburban audiences who in general hate the AJC’s politics.
Does anyone out there think Obama is praying this goes Hot? I mean why would he be spewing such rhetoric? If any one is killed I blame Obama..

Or his car will set itself on fire in his garage while he is in it....
Love that post still have it in my Favorites.. Remember there was a jewish scholar or someone in germany that said
“had there been a mauser in every jewish home in germany, the holocaust would never have happened”...
Once again, Mr. Soetoro is ‘all wee-weed up’ and ‘acting stupidly’. Maybe they need a Leinenkuge summit in the back yard of the White Crib. The teachers could call in sick, and both the teachers and chicken-sh!t Dem state legislators can take a road trip to DC. Let the adults stay at work and do the heavy lifting.
Obama’s a “strongman” president in the American sense. Its not through military might like in other country but through his political machine.
We’ve had political machines in this country for a long time but nothing like this.
Obama’s reaction isn’t so unexpected really.
He’s always been the divider not the uniter, “I won”.
Maybe accidently drown in Allatoona Lake while practicing his Harry Houdini impression.
The road to the next Civil War is paved with Union Dues it seems.
Then why, pray tell, would the Republicans run MdDole, I mean McCain against him?
