Wisconsin GOP Leader Admits The Truth — It’s All About Obama
It’s not like we didn’t know it – but who would have thought they would be so brazen as to voice it out loud?

Appearing on Fox News, Wisconsin Sen. Majority Leader, Scott Fitzgerald had this to say-

If we win this battle, and the money is not there under the auspices of the unions, certainly what you’re going to find is President Obama is going to have a much difficult, much more difficult time getting elected and winning the state of Wisconsin.

Via Rawstory

1. It's time for Obama to take a stand about something - now that it IS about him.
He's turning out that he has simply terrible political instincts, and everyone sees it, except him. A weak, do-nothing President, and an absentee leader of his Party.

Stand up, Barack.

3. Are they trying to empty the unions' coffers? Will we see this around the country?
