Obama: Public Employees Should Not be Vilified
Football can be the great uniter. I love this picture even though it has absolutely nothing to do with the Wisconsin showdown.
I loved this: “You’re not going to convince the bravest Americans to put their lives on the line as police officers or firefighters if you don’t properly reward their bravery.”
And thanks for reminding the governors that both sides have “to give something up.” The union members in Wisconsin gave up the fight on the pension and healthcare contribution. That helps your budget, right? What are you willing to give up, Scotty?

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker Says He Wasn’t Trying to ‘Trick’ Democrats
So he wasn’t trying to trick them into coming back? I guess everyone else can see flames emanating from his pants but him.
*ahem* Scotty. You were on tape.
I would be willing to sit down and talk to him, the assembly Democrat leader, plus the other two Republican leaders—talk, not negotiate and listen to what they have to say if they will in turn—but I’ll only do it if all 14 of them will come back and sit down in the state assembly…legally, we believe, once they’ve gone into session, they don’t physically have to be there. If they’re actually in session for that day, and they take a recess, the 19 Senate Republicans could then go into action and they’d have quorum…so we’re double checking that. If you heard I was going to talk to them that’s the only reason why. We’d only do it if they came back to the capital with all 14 of them…
The prank phone call only proved what most of us already knew.
The latest news is that the state troopers went to the homes of the Wisconsin 14 since there have been “sightings” – returning to get clothes, etc. No luck. Stay on the IL side, Senators. Your family can get the clothes to you. Stay close, and maybe move around a bit to different locations within IL. Man, this is like a spy movie.
Anyway, Walker said that he’s not going to let one prank phone call to be a distraction…from his pants on fire?
Silly Governor, tricks are for kids and impeached Presidents.
