Barack Obama addressed the nations governors today with sympathy over budgetary crises, but a warning not to solve their shortfalls by infringing on the rights of public employees. He also scolded governors for vilifying and denigrating PEUs, which raises the question of whether Obama has bothered to look at the protests in Wisconsin and elsewhere. Besides, the governors in question are mainly fighting to limit collective bargaining rights to a standard that the federal government prohibits for its own employees.

Step One: Stop calling anything “public”.
They’re government employees.
They’re government schools and government school teachers.
It’s the government sector.

Yup. If it’s open to the public, it’s public — grocery store, strip mall, church, etc.
If it survives on money taken by force of law from taxpayers, it’s government.

Time for Obama to decide, if he wants to be a community organizer, then RESIGN from the presidency, if he wants to be the POTUS then work on the massive federal deficit that he claimed he can fix ...

Public Employees should pay for their own Health Care & Retirement, why should taxpayers foot their bill!
It's one thing for unionized private workers who have to deal with share-holders and another thing for public sectors employees dealing with taxpayers!
To: Justaham
Would saying that public employees “acted stupidly” count as vilification?

Amazing.
The education system is crap and the union-teacher blob blocks reform.
Obama ends the charter school in DC that was delivering superior results.
Do teachers want to be judged on individual merit or the collective results of the blob?
