No matter what Rush says, this strike is an absolute lose/break even for Obama. The BEST he can get from this is NOTHING but the worst that can happen to him from this is he is forced to side either the teachers or the students. The damage will not be big but it will not be at all helpful. Rush is wrong in saying/thinking Obama goes in and solves the problem settles the strike and it helps him. No one gives a shiite what happens in California or Chicago. But if this strike drags on it makes unions in general and teachers unions in particular look like the thug scumbags they are. THAT won't help when they knock on doors next month. As I said, this will either be nothing or a small minus for Obama.

The Rush comments were brilliant. Regardless of what oblunder does, it can only be good if we paint him with chicago. At worst it makes him look provincial.
