(31,454 posts)Pres. Obama is not a "union boss". You guys elect & pay people huge sums of money to do what you're complaining about. If they're ineffective as "union" leaders, then you should vote 'em out, NO?
Is there any situation under the sun for which you guys won't find a reason to blame the president? Every supposedly "progressive" failure is a failure of this president. Stop blaming the White House for the failure of others. He is only one man.
There's a majority in the Senate, and the Progressive Caucus in the House. Have they stepped up to the plate? Have they been to WI to help you guys? One single man cannot be all things to all people. Where are the surrogates?
And pray tell, WTF is he supposed to do about "union busting Repuke governors"? Did you miss the fact that we lost the midterms? VERY BADLY? The president was out there campaigning his ass off, because he knew what was coming. But Democrats, of all stripes, allowed themselves to be convinced that they should be "disillusioned" because this president hadn't righted decades of wrongs and injustices, in his first 18 mos.
Get over yourself! If Tom Barrett loses tomorrow, it won't because of the DNC or Pres. Obama, it will be because one very influential family was able to buy the state for Scott Walker.
