ABC News: Obama On Wisconsin Budget Protests: “An Assault On Unions”

skip....

White House press secretary Jay Carney said today that while President Obama understands the needs and the challenges that governors face to deal with their own fiscal issues and the need to make tough budget decisions, “what he sees happening in Wisconsin, making it harder for public employees to collectively bargain, seems more like an assault on unions. “

“He doesn't see that as a good thing,” Carney said, adding that it is sometimes easy to paint public employees as “faceless bureaucrats,” but emphasized these people are teachers, nurses, policemen and firemen.

7. Obama may have "stepped up" -

he just hasn't stepped up to a microphone to utter the word "Wisconsin" since February 17. I guess Ms. Henry wasn't expecting too much.

8. Of Course, That Doesn't Stop The Corporate Funded Effort To Divide The Left...

...Koch industries will just pay some internet PR firm to post on liberal blogs to spread the blame the Democrats, unions, Obama narratives while giving Republicans and Corporate America a free pass.
