F this guy.
Its a childish response but its whats deep in my gut. To put it bluntly he is an enemy of this country.
No surprise; that’s pretty much what Lenin thought, too.
Wonder how that will turn out?
Who gives two craps what an African dictator thinks?
BHO——FU
Only the best for his SS troops...
Obama is a Marxist idiot.
Obama go back to the Kenyan hole you crawled out of, Unions suck and I hope other States will start to vote in Right to Work Laws.
According to Zero everyone must “share sacrifice”.....except the unions.....
Folks like Scott Walker need to hang strong. We can’t abandon them. Unions are getting madder and they control the police, the schools, and so much more. We must stand strong.
Perhaps if 0bama did something to fix the economy then the political capital needed to pass these limits would not exist.
I just read that 80% of Californians support public employee pension reform. Eighty-percent of *Californians*! Times are changing quickly as pension abuses such as spiking are revealed. . .
If this is how the WH thinks they need to run the campaign, they are in very deep trouble. This dope should already have the base behind him and be working on getting the independents. All this class warfare BS doesn’t play anymore except for the radical left. Results and accomplishments are what people want to see and he has none.
The Liberal Messiah defending unions is as newsworthy as is the fact that the Earth revolves around the Sun and that 2 + 2 = 4.
“...states should not use the financial crisis as an excuse to erode bargaining rights.”
On the contrary, we should never let a good crisis go to waste.
