After seeing Jon Stewart tonight, I can see why people would be pissed at Obama about Wisconsin

[LeftyAndProud60]

They hypocrisy from the right is sickening. Obama continues to say nothing. Frustrating.

1. "Obama continues to say nothing."

What planet are you living on?

2. Earth, you should visit. NT

9. Really? You must check your GPS, because we Earthlings have proof he has spoken out -->

Three statements via President Obama, VP Biden, and the Secretary of Labor:

8. The labor secretary is a she

I just felt I need to point that out. Hilda Solis is one of the strongest labor secretaries we've had, and she should be recognized with a little respect for her gender!

[babylonsister]

13. She made it clear how 'he', the President, feels. I know who Hilda Solis is. nt

[frazzled]

16. Sorry: ambiguous antecedent for the pronoun

If you read it, it seems like you meant how the labor secretary feels. I apologize.

[babylonsister]

17. Hey...

I don't even know what an 'ambiguous antecedent' is! No problem; guess I was as clear as mud, but that is what I meant. She's his mouthpiece, and I admire them both.

5. I'm not sure what he can say -- do you know? (Sincere question.) I'm not sure

about usurping a State's rights - how far he can go or what he can say. And as always, there's the politics to consider. :eyes:

When I get cynical about him, I think of somebody I heard on the radio saying "this isn't a guy who graduated from Harvard Law and went to work for lobbyists or a big corporation, he went to work as a community service activist making like $12,000 a year". He's got to have that concern and care still, so I wonder, when he sees such obvious wrongs, if it's really eating him up inside because his hands may be tied. He's the President - not God. He can't make anybody do anything, really.

IMO, natch. :7

PS-- I think him coming right out and saying it sounds like union busting that was pretty ballsy.

7. He could just ask the question "When did teachers become fat cats that are destroying the country?"

The republicans argument really is baffling. Especially when you look back at what these same people said about Wall St pay when Obmaa wanted to go after bonuses. This country is fucked.

[ProSense]

11. I suppose you missed

the President's most recent statement from two days ago.

Otherwise, this OP would make the claim that he "continues to say nothing."

[ingac70]

6. No sense in being pissed at Obama....

Walker being Gov. is the fault of the people of Wisconsin.

[Jennicut]

19. Right, next time people need to realize what they get when they vote Repub or stay at home.

[ClarkUSA]

12. LAT: "Obama, speaking out on Wisconsin labor standoff, says public employees should not lose rights"

Read it. You're wrong. Is being factual important to you? If it is, then change your OP to reflect the facts.

[babylonsister]

15. Apologize? Delete it? Not likely. Thanks, ClarkUSA, for finding this. nt
