In a statement, Mr. Obama said the Wisconsin bill is the latest in a “sustained, coordinated assault on unions” led by the wealthy and their friends in government, predicting it will hamper economic growth and harm the middle class moving forward.

I meant Obama’s criticism. Not the fact that he and his cronies are ruining this country.

The unspoken subtext here is that Obama is attacking Walker instead of Jeb Bush because he knows Walker is a serious contender for the GOP nomination, and Obama wants “Jeb” to get it.

Let’s face it, folks - Obama is a Jeb supporter.

the attacks happened on american soil. and, he was an american citizen (of all of about a 7 months, but that is a totally different problem).

an attack on american soil by an american citizen is going to get you a trial every time.

” predicting it will hamper economic growth and harm the middle class moving forward.”

Because you are no longer forced to join a union?

A badge of honor for Walker. Anytime Obama criticizes you as a governor, you’re doing exactly the right thing.

All empirical evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.
