27. Obama isn't going to WI

Thu May 31, 2012, 03:42 PM

May 2012

Also haven't heard much public support from him for WI Dems either. Even his press secretary didn't know if Obama was supporting Barrett - that's how tepid he's been. Obama thinks he has WI already, so isn't willing to put in any more effort or money.

Too bad Obama isn't prioritizing worker rights, yet assumes labor will support him fully. I'll vote for him, he's certainly better than "the job destroyer", but that's the end of my committment. No more phone banks or money to the middle of every road President Obama.

Being 'undecided' until the last minute is called 'negotiating'. n/t PoliticAverse May 2012 #13

Negotiating? progressoid May 2012 #15

Good, I would love to see Walker try to have a conversation with Clinton. sabrina 1 May 2012 #6

Walker has a lopsided head and googly dumb eyes. My friend said, PeaceNikki May 2012 #10

Tom Barrett has confirmed this as well, although we're still awaiting details. PeaceNikki May 2012 #28
