The fact that Obama and the Left are owned and operated by the unions is obvious. But what makes the situation even more dire than in the 1920's when Coolidge was president is that we're now BROKE. We are now facing, for real, what Coolidge had most feared: "... the end of our government is at hand." But the socialist Obama doesn't care about our future as a nation so long as he has the support of taxpayer supported unions.

Calvin Coolidge's Advice for Gov. Scott Walker.

Other advice that Calvin had for Walker is to not rely on All Season Radials in the winter. Go the extra mile and get a decent set of snow tires. Studs couldn't hurt either. Coolidge is a wealth of solid advice.

I have a sneakin’ suspicion that if Gov. Walker has to issue layoff notices the Wi. public employees may just walk out via strikes. We shall see what we shall see.

Calvin Coolide 1 of the only 2 decent presidents we have had in over 100 years.

We need a lot of Coolidge now...yet no one ever hears how great this president was...he was even better than Reagan.

"It was beginning to be clear that if voluntary associations were to be permitted to substitute their will for the authority of public officials the end of our government was at hand. The issue was nothing less than whether the law which the people had made through their duly authorized agencies should be supreme."

-- Calvin Coolidge

Great quote.

My son has to do a report and Power Point presentation on a President. He chose Coolidge (I also threw Reagan out there, but he chose Cal). His dad and I are so proud ;)

He for sure wouldn't be making the rounds of talk shows like Fidel Obama:

He once explained to Bernard Baruch why he often sat silently through interviews: "Well, Baruch, many times I say only 'yes' or 'no' to people. Even that is too much. It winds them up for twenty minutes more."

Silent Cal
