obama continues to show his true colors...

obama will never be anything more than a community organizer. The definition of community organizer should be "professional shit starter.

obama has decided to take the side of the unions in Wisconsin and Ohio. This is a fight he should have at least stayed neutral on if he couldn't get behind the Republican efforts to get State budgets under control. But that would go completely against his nature. He has shown that on a National level he has no concern for curbing spending so why would he care that unions are helping drive many States to bankruptcy.

Ohio alone is 8 BILLION dollars in the hole. Governor Kasich isn't even asking union members to pay as much of their health care costs as private sector employees have to pay.

In Wisconsin, Governor Walker is asking public sector (government employees) union members to pay 12% of their healthcare premiums, up from 6%. He is also asking them to pay 5.6% of their pension costs. They don't currently pay anything, that bill is picked up by the taxpayers.

I think the part of this that bothers me the most is there are times that  I come in contact with government employees and they are either rude or incompetent. Not always, but enough to make me remember it clearly. If anything they should be extremely nice to their customers since those really are the people paying their salary, and their insurance and their pension. The least they could do is say "Thank You".
