The standoff in Wisconsin continues, with the aid of President Obama
A $3.6 billion budget shortfall in Wisconsin has led to union protesters taking to the streets of Madison and the halls of the capitol for nearly a week, with no end in sight. With Democrat state senators in self-imposed exile and an illegal wildcat strike by teachers, Wisconsin’s state government and its citizens have essentially been taken hostage by the public employee unions. President Obama and his political arm at the Democratic National Committee, Organizing for America, have been intimately involved in orchestrating the protests. The office of the President has been sullied by what Mr. Obama and his Chicago-style tactics are doing to Wisconsin’s state government. Americans are seeing the true face of the “party of change.” President Obama and his union cronies will stop at nothing to preserve the failed liberal status quo.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is taking reasonable steps to close the budget gap with union reforms. Governor Walker is not calling for an end to pensions and health care for state workers, he is just calling for them to pay their fair share. As Wisconsin stares at a $3.6 billion budget gap, newly elected Governor Walker is acting responsibly to get Wisconsin’s fiscal house in order. Fortunately, Governor Walker is not backing down from the fight. He has said that Republicans in the Wisconsin Assembly and Senate will not be “bullied” by the union thug tactics being employed in Wisconsin. Governor Walker singled out President Obama when he said, “We are focused on balancing our budget. It would be wise for the government and others in Washington to focus on balancing their budgets, which they are a long way off from doing.”
It should be no secret why President Obama and the Democrat Party are coming to the aid of unions…
