Something tells me this will backfire badly against the Democrats, the President, and the unions. This wave of ginned up angst, abandonment of responsibility, and the attempt to strong-arm the tax-payers of state of Wisconsin will be remembered for a long time to come.

On Friday morning, my television and radio shows took calls from Wisconsin citizens, most of whom lived in Madison or very near, some of whom were teachers and more than willing to go along with the Governor's modest request. Though they didn't like the idea of what amounted to pay cuts, they weren't willing to send their state into chaos over the matter.

It is disgraceful that the President of the United States is encouraging mobocracy.

BTW, Bernard Baruch said that reading that book saved him millions of dollars.

I have started it, but am still working my way through the section on the Mississippi Bubble.

"It is disgraceful that the President of the United States is encouraging mobocracy. "

Not being an American it's somewhat understandable.

I’ve said from the beginning that all of this is as planned by the American hating obama. Sadly, some of his supporters don’t believe this. Even more sadly, most of his supporters know this and they love the idea of America going down the drain. It’s hard not to hate those people.
