White House spokesman Jay Carney says President Barack Obama has no comment on the teacher strike in Chicago:
The president, as I think you just heard from me, has not expressed any opinion or made any assessment about this particular incident."

Once again BHO votes “present”.
The “present” President
He avoided the WI battle too. And his convention was in NC a Right to Work state.
He know the teachers unions have no place else to go so he ignores their fights, He must think they (the battles) may hurt him.
Interesting. No opinion on a teacher’s strike in his old hometown????
He can’t even say he hopes it gets settled quickly so that the kids are back in school??? What the heck???
I kind of thought this might be a staged "Sister Soulja" moment where Obama would come out against the big teachers unions in an appeal to moderates. I should have known better, he is incapable of being anything but far left, even if being reelected depended on him moving to the center.
What Obama REALLY meant to say:
“Hey, Illinois isn’t a swing state, those pigeons will vote for me no matter what, come on, those unions love me, they kiss my ass every time I see them, I dont have to pander to those people.”
Unprecedented and historic “empty chair” leadership.
Obama is a useless fool.
Of course, Obama is in bed with all these low life “teacher union vermin”!!!! However, I do not feel sorry for the citizens of Chicago for this union hostage action. You folks voted for the dirt bag Democrats that support this human waste, now....lie in the bed you made for yourselves, fools!!! Soon....you idiots that support Obama will see and learn that the “Obama stash” is going to disappear and......you will be at the mercy of tyrants like these public service labor union goons!!! The gravy train will soon be ending!!!
Actually it’s none of the federal government’s business. It is disheartening that everybody seems to think that everything is it’s business. This is a matter for the people of Chicago. People need to mind their own business.
Don’t worry.. Obama will be MR. NEGOTIATOR at the end of October and get all the glory for stopping the strike! You watch. The media will be throwing confetti.
Of course not, because he’s all for it. In his mind, this will “energize” his base. And it will, too. But it will also wake up a few more Americans who have had a belly full of divide & enrage politics from this radical, racist communist we call our president.
Two faced clown, scared of his own shadow!
Mr. Obama is a real tower of jello, is he not?
What a guy!
Don’t they receive federal tax dollars? I agree with you they should only receive funds from the people of Chicago
Cat got your tounge?
You could not wait to run your mouth when Rush called Sandra Fluke a slut.
Not able to comment now? Could it be that it may be bad politics for you.
COWARD!!
Fancy-boy Obama supports fancy-boy Rahm over teachers, he’s political toast with teachers and the NEA.
Obama supports striking teachers, he’s toast with the Chicago Mob.
But, Obama’s followers are too dumb to figure out what he’s doing, so they’ll vote for him anyways.
Welcome to stupid America, or at least some significant percentage of it.
He will be commenting as soon as his handlers figure out how to put another fake halo on his head.
“Don’t they receive federal tax dollars?”
Guess you’re right. That’s another problem throwing federal money everywhere. Everything becomes nationalized. We have become a nation where everything is everybody’s business. One big collective.
Looks like from the picture he graduated from the megaphone to a telepromter. I despise that man and all that he stands for!

For his lunch he liked wagyu meat,
But he shrank from a physical feat.
..A timid old fellow
..Like quivering Jell-O
He preferred to vote: “Incomplete”.
What, nobody’s acting stupidly? No one could be his son? His chair status? Now he’s got nothing to say?
.....That's because this is probably a staged event and manufactured crisis. This is an important election for statists and socialists. As a result, the prez will probably personally step in and negotiate a winning settlement, that has probably already been reached. He will once again save the day .... the conquering hero will rise up to retake the status and mantle of deity among his adoring followers and all who worship at his feet.
It’s Chicago. Obama could care less.
Maybe Rahm told him to shut up.
So now we know this will guarantee him to speak on it at some point.
Smart thing to do is stay out of local issues. Not that he was smart enough. Someone else suggested it, I’m sure.
Of course not. That would mean taking a position on an issue and explain without a teleprompter.
God help our country.

Duh, does Obama’s silence mean consent?
BTW, how will the parents of those 400,000 Chicago school children respond to Obama on election day?
But had no problems with wading into the ‘they (the police) acted stupidly’ incident.
Yep, and he was dead wrong to do so. He also got into the Trayvon Martin shooting—also dead wrong.
Maybe this clown CAN learn from experience...
I guess we’ll see...
