Sad. Obama Administration Lies About Meddling in Wisconsin Union Dispute

This weekend the Obama Administration insisted they had nothing to do with the outrageous union protests in Madison, Wisconsin last week.

Over the weekend, the White House and Democratic Party officials pushed back against criticism from Republicans that Mr. Obama and his political network were meddling in the Wisconsin dispute.

Administration officials said Sunday that the White House had done nothing to encourage the demonstrations in Wisconsin — nor was it doing so in Ohio, Florida and other states where new Republican governors are trying to make deep cuts to balance their budgets…

…And, officials and union leaders said, reports of the involvement of the Democratic National Committee — specifically Organizing for America, the grass-roots network born of Mr. Obama’s 2008 campaign — were overblown to start with…

Unfortunately, for the Obama Administration, Doug Ross discovered that they tweeted about it last week.

It looks like they were lying.
These people have no shame.
Pathetic.

For the record… The Obama Administration is meddling in Ohio and Indiana too.

Obama, so far, hasn’t lost anything big and admitted to it.
So why should he start now with the public employee unions in Wisconsin ?
When they start backpedaling this much, you can bet your bottom dollar that failure isn’t far behind.

Good God almighty! The President HIMSELF spoke on the topic! Obama IS the Obama Administration. Or should I not believe my lying eyes?
Do you get the sense, more by the day, that this bunch in the White House are rapidly losing control? Between the ruined economy, foreign policy disasters, and wrecking their own Democrat Party, it’s terrifying to think we have to go through two more years of these sixties failures.

Maybe union workers should think about the hundreds of millions given to political campaigns. If the union leaders stopped giving their workers money to politicians the workers would have enoungh money to cover their pensions and healthcare.

I almost wonder if the reason the White House is now furiously backpeddling is that someone up there knows that everything Teleprompter Jesus touches either fails outright or comes back to haunt them. Can anyone name anything our Marxist Community Organizer has thrown his weight behind that has actually worked?

Obama is starting to realize that he and the rest of his minions have stepped into a Constitutional quagmire with their meddling of state affairs and they know full well that they will lose that debate. the issue now is what action will Congress take with Obama’s blatant disregard for the constitution of the United States.

the State of Wisconsin has a good case if they want to sue the Executive branch for failing to guarantee the State of Wisconsin’s right to a republican form of government free of any outside coercion (as Obama directed his communist arm to “invade” Wisconsin and block the Wisconsin state government’s legislative process). this goes the same with ALL BORDER states that are experiencing violence from FOREIGN INVADERS (Drug Cartels and their traffickers and assassins). it’s awesome that both are in Article IV Section IV of the United States Constitution WHICH THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH is CONSTITUIONALLY OBLIGATED to enforce.

Obama’s deriliction of duty as Chief Executive of the Unites States as dictated by the constitution is an impeachable offense! all it takes are a few states to file the lawsuits to get the debate started!

american patriot #7 has a couple of good references. An Obama could ONLY be elected by an incredibly dumbed-down electorate. That some 90% + of blacks voted for Democrats & Obama, a community activist fraud, shows that racial discrimination animosity are very much active in the black “community,” equally demonstrating that blacks have not received any sort of education from the government schools.

Obama’s is not only constitutionally obligated to stay out of Wisconsin’s or any other states’ affairs, IT IS HIS DUTY TO ENSURE WITH ALL THE POWER OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT NO OUTSIDE ENTITY UNION OR OTHERWISE from outside any particular state should enter the said state and block the repbulican form of government guaranteed by Article IV Section IV of the US constitution.

I will say that over and over again until it sinks into all GOP legislators that action has to be taken on Obama’s blatant disregard of the constitution and his deriliction of duty.

that’s also the reason why Jesse Jackson took his sorry, meddling butt, out of Wisconsin too. as soon as they realized that their community organizing tactics can actually get the entire democrat socialist party in hot water, they started backtracking out of it!

Darrel Issa need to start passing out subpoenas for this! start with Jesse Jackson, then Dick Durbin who stated that Obama SHOULD weigh in the Wisconsin internal issue. these democrats doesn’t know anything about the constitution at all!

WTF is president in name only. His deep seated hatred of this nation, the Constitution, our laws and history, mark him as a toxic infection of our political landscape. There is nothing to admire in this man. In two years he has set race relations back sixty years, crippled the economy, worked actively to destroy private industry, swelled the public employees rolls, and all but eliminated border security in an attempt to cement his next election. Endless vacations while telling Americans they must cut back on their own escapes from the daily grind, really.

Matters little where he was born, he was raised as a good little Socialist brat, living off the hard work and sweat of others.

His use of the unions to further his agenda should come as no surprise. Unions and their links to crime, Socialist, and Communist organization is well documented. Unions aligned with political power is nothing more than a recipe for disaster.

O-buma, the great Divider!!

Our Commander-in-Thief is out to bankrupt the US and sows seed of dissent

He is following the Alinsky model of Rules for Radicals. . . destroying the economy by shutting down drilling, overspending & bankrupting generations to come, diminishing the value of the dollar with his massive Quantitative Easing, not creating jobs, indebted us to the Chicoms (and I could go on & on), fighting Arizona Governor on border & immigration. . .

The one thing The One (O-buma) has not factored in, nor was it explained in Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, is that social media, radio & the internet now makes the lame street media obsolete. . . and makes the average American wise to their subversive ways. . .

Conservatives are waking up. . . and so are the so-called independent voters. . . the truth marches on! Can’t wait until 2012! Time for real hope & change!

patriot has a point. Detroit is planning to cut into its debt by eliminating half of their public schools. class rooms are going to be combined into large 60 pupil sized rooms. i harped on this often enough, but if students can’t afford to attend private schools, they would be better off homeschooling at a fraction of the cost the government is paying. with all those out of work academics and teachers, a group of home schoolers could pool their money and resources together and hire private teachers on the private market at a fraction of the cost that the unions are demanding now. yes, no out of control pension or benefits for teachers in the private market. frankly, unions know the technology and resources are out there that could effectively replace the public school system and they are running scared.

when the road to hell has been reached, the only way back is to eliminate the public school system. (if you recognize i don’t capitalize thank a teacher. if you recognize i don’t give a damn, thank the public school system.)
