Roanoke Times, 2-18-11, Pg 4: Lawmakers flee state to block bill
Some 25,000 people filled the square in front of the Madison Wis Capitol to protest an anti-union bill.
-
Obama, seeing on TV a large group of protesters somewhere, immediately dispatched his emissaries and PR people to support the down-trodden abused people in the streets.
Then he discovered it was a union action in the US and unlike his reaction to the many TeaParty protests last year, he sent the DNC and their union organizers to Madison and then made a political public pronouncement supporting those poor abused union members and slamming the Wis Governor for trying to solve a massive budget problem.
-
The Wis. Democrat elected legislators left town and hid; abandoning their sworn oath to fulfill their elected duties; even worse than Obama used to do by voting “Present”.
-
GOP Gov. Scott Walker ran on a platform of addressing and solving a massive state budget deficit that must by law be closed. Unlike the US government, Wis. cannot print money.
-
Once again Obama has shown his pro-union organizing and support in the face of massive financial chaos caused by government over committing and making deals and contracts that the taxpayers can no longer afford.
-
Obama’s budget and words and deeds clearly demonstrate that he does not understand or does not care about the financial crisis that individuals, states and the federal government now face.
And to think – he was supposed to be the smart one!
