He avoided the WI battle too. And his convention was in NC a Right to Work state.

He know the teachers unions have no place else to go so he ignores their fights, He must think they (the battles) may hurt him.

Interesting. No opinion on a teacher’s strike in his old hometown????

He can’t even say he hopes it gets settled quickly so that the kids are back in school??? What the heck???

The empty chair remains silent.

I kind of thought this might be a staged "Sister Soulja" moment where Obama would come out against the big teachers unions in an appeal to moderates. I should have known better, he is incapable of being anything but far left, even if being reelected depended on him moving to the center.

What Obama REALLY meant to say:

“Hey, Illinois isn’t a swing state, those pigeons will vote for me no matter what, come on, those unions love me, they kiss my ass every time I see them, I dont have to pander to those people.”

Unprecedented and historic “empty chair” leadership.

Of course, Obama is in bed with all these low life “teacher union vermin”!!!! However, I do not feel sorry for the citizens of Chicago for this union hostage action. You folks voted for the dirt bag Democrats that support this human waste, now....lie in the bed you made for yourselves, fools!!! Soon....you idiots that support Obama will see and learn that the “Obama stash” is going to disappear and......you will be at the mercy of tyrants like these public service labor union goons!!! The gravy train will soon be ending!!!

Actually it’s none of the federal government’s business. It is disheartening that everybody seems to think that everything is it’s business. This is a matter for the people of Chicago. People need to mind their own business.

Don’t worry.. Obama will be MR. NEGOTIATOR at the end of October and get all the glory for stopping the strike! You watch. The media will be throwing confetti.

Of course not, because he’s all for it. In his mind, this will “energize” his base. And it will, too. But it will also wake up a few more Americans who have had a belly full of divide & enrage politics from this radical, racist communist we call our president.

Don’t they receive federal tax dollars? I agree with you they should only receive funds from the people of Chicago

How about community organizer??

Cat got your tounge?

You could not wait to run your mouth when Rush called Sandra Fluke a slut.

Not able to comment now? Could it be that it may be bad politics for you.

COWARD!!
