Barret mentioned FDR,

Walker needs to bring up how FDR felt about public sector unions.

Somebody is lying about the jobs figures in WI. My guess is, it’s Barrett.

One of the reasons it's never useful to try to beat the Dems over the head with FDR stuff is that FDR was in office so long that he ended up on both sides of many issues ~ for perfectly good reasons.

He may have had a problem with public sector unions. He also issued an executive order that allowed federal workers to write letters to their Congressmen. That was after the unions had agreed to purge the Commies from organizing the federal work force (including the post office department).

He also agreed to a federal pay raise. I"ve got the pen he signed that with somewhere around here.

As stupid as this Barret guy is he will have been prepared with soundbytes sufficient to toss off earlier FDR quotes.
