popsjumper 2 #4 February 24, 2011 "...But others say Obama, as the leader of the Democratic Party, should do more to help the labor movement, which provides money and grassroots organizing muscle for Democratic candidates and whose power is now threatened by Republican efforts to curtail collective bargaining rights. "Everybody is looking to the president on this one," said Amy Dean, a labor activist and former AFL-CIO official in California. "The grassroots infrastructure of the Democratic Party is organized labor." Rep. Raul Grijalva (D., Ariz.), a co-chairman of the House Progressive Caucus, agreed. "There's a bully pulpit there that the president has, and it needs to be used," he said. "I don't think you can turn the cheek on this one." -------------------- Power struggle. Walker and his pig-headedness are unwilling to negotiate...I'm in power here and don't you forget it! The Dems are all about the "power" they currently have and don't want to jeopardize it. The Dems are pissed because Obama won't step up and help preserve their perceived power base. It's not about what's good for the country/state. It's about the "POWER"! IMO, this is one case where Obama just may be right. I don't know that because I don't know what he has in mind for his reasoning for not stepping up...yet. But it appears that he wants to take a more bipartisan route towards financial responsibility.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

rehmwa 2 #5 February 24, 2011 He doesn't have time for this. Apparently he's running for president of Libya and Egypt (even though the people of those countries really don't care. Not that you could tell from the news reports). Reporter to Egyptian man on the street "So, how do you feel about Pres Obama's support of your efforts and his discussions with your leaders" Egyptian man "this is OUR action and WE will change our government and want the US to stay out of it. We don't listen to your stupid president today, we listen to the Egyptian PEOPLE!!" Reporter to camera "There you have it. The Egyptian people are THRILLED with president Obama and think he is the main cause of their CHANGE of government to a democratic model. Back to you" ...

rehmwa 2 #14 February 24, 2011 QuoteWhat about the children...and their GoPro's? They are misunderstood. The government should immediately finance free Go Pro's for everyone. See, we just collect from every individual, the amount of a new Go Pro - we add $50 for processing, congress travel fees, and shipping, and then - viola! - everyone gets FREE GoPros in the mail. After the mandatory training (mostly on sensitivity), all can use their free GoPros responsibly as defined by the local government watch group finance by small increases in property taxes. ...
