Sounds like Obama got a well deserved brush off.

Sounds like Rick Snyder gave Obama a well deserved brush off.



Weekly/biweekly Michigan legislative action thread

Snyder is much more polite and restrained than I would have been. IOW, “GFY, punk.”

While no one will confirm this, there is no indication that the federal money angle was discussed in the exchange between the two. Which means the "book" will not be nearly as interesting

I reached the exact opposite conclusion. If Obama didn't link federal money to the decision, then one of his operatives did prior to Obama discussing RTW with him. Snyder would not say anything if the threat had been made. It remains to be seen if Obama follows thru with some sort of retribution to the state.

"I said thank you for sharing that with me."

LOL! A great reply and then Gov. Snyder signed the bills as soon as he could. :-)

States that have not yet passed right to work laws should instead give the unions more of what they want. It’s patently unfair that maybe 75 votes thirty years closed a shop to union representation and locked today’s workers onto a situation not of their own choosing. Right to work advocates should move to make certification an annual event, voted only from among active current employees by secret ballot. It is the onlynwaynto know if a union is truly serving the needs of its constituents. Our lawmakers stand for reelection, why not unions?

'is Majesty Barack the Worst were'nt pleased? Gor-blimey!

Too bad we live in America where we don't have a king, huh?

Snyder missed a golden opportunity. Because the media never asks 0bama any substantive questions, Snyder could have filled this role. Perhaps, he even could have covertly recorded the converstation as well. Snyder would not need to be confrontationl, just ask open ended question explaining the rationale for closed union shops. He could have moved on to other subject such as taxes, debt and gun confiscation. This could have been a treasure trove of information that could be used when needed.
