As a result, Democrats are trying to stop Walker’s momentum. Obama’s decision to go after the governor could help motivate key liberal constituencies in 2016, according to Democratic strategists. That includes labor unions, which have sometimes clashed with Obama over economic issues such as trade.

That includes LABOR BOSSES - the Democratic Party money and muscle machine that Walker and the WI Legislature have defanged in WI.

“.....Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, a group that advocated for the law has also weighed on on Obama’s statement. WMC President/CEO Kurt R. Bauer said:

“It’s disappointing that President Obama has come out against a policy that gives workers freedom of choice in the workplace. The fact is, right to work states grow jobs and wages twice as fast as forced-union states do. By contrast, the President supports a wage policy that the Congressional Budget Office said will likely kill 500,000 American jobs. Gov. Walker remains focused on providing freedom and economic opportunity to workers.”

On a thread you posted yesterday here:

Starting at reply #17, you can read the comments of a “conservative” F.R. member, who is opposed to Right To Work laws.

“Obama personally criticized Michigan’s “right to work” legislation one day before it came law in December 2012.”

It just goes to show that criticism from Obama is benign, if not beneficial to his target.

Democrats are in a full sprint and scramble to shut down Walker, over Jeb. And, Walker is a clear and present danger at the moment to Bush.

I honestly believe Democrats are very, very UNenthused about Hillary Clinton, and that they could live with Jeb Bush, if Clinton craters.

I also think the Dems will join forces with the GOP to weed out Walker supporters and donors, and grow Jeb’s. The Union battle lost to Walker makes him a mortal enemy to the Left, and a target for political incineration by the right if he continues to interfere with the Bush machine.

The war against the Left needs to focus on removing their sources of funding and power. Labor unions are a big part, as a source of funding, as a source of activists, and as a source of intimidating thugs.

The next target should be the myriad "non profits".
