Obama could have crushed the right wing

[boomerbust]

With one simple act. Visiting his friends to the north of Chicago last February. He would have been wildly welcomed with open arms, no matter what the local Democrats wanted .

2. Disagree. Here in Wisconsin the general feeling was that we didn't want to make our fight...

... about "Obama vs fiscally responsible government", which is what would have happened if he had put on his walking shoes.


This is our fight, not his. And I don't think he would have "crushed the right wing" had he entered the fray. The right wing is being crushed; just keep working.

4. A Lot Of People Trying To Coopt What's Happening In Wisconsin...

...some are claiming this is part of OWS. No one knew of OWS last February in frozen weather in front of the capital. No one thought they were part of an "occupy" when they went out to gather signatures for the recalls. This is truly an organic Wisconsin movement and moment...and even though I slipped across the border to participate, this was all directed by Wisconsinites for Wisconsinites. Preisdent Obama was smart to stand aside, and as you say, not to project national issues into what was a very personal state one. Here's hoping we get the official word shortly that Snotty's recall is on! Then the real hard work begins...removing him! Cheers!
