Not only is Barack Hussein Obama, the current occupant of the White House, refusing to call out unions for their violent rhetoric, and their actual violence, but now he’s pretending that we’re just attacking poor, innocent unions who have done no wrong, when in fact, the unions are not only extorting massive amounts of cash from taxpayers, but if Governors and the people dare to voice our displeasure with our enslavement and abuse at their hands, Obama characterizes our outrage as ‘vilification’ and ‘denigration’ of public employee unions.

Talk about calling calling evil good, and good evil!

Isaiah 5:20
¶Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

They’re doing it to themselves, Barack!. Their actions denigrate themselves. Their abuse of taxpayers vilifies them. Nobody is required to help them with their reputation self-immolation!

Not that you care one whit about the truth, or about our freedom, or about the Constitution of the United States of America, and the principles of freedom which are enshrined therein!

Obama Speaks Out Again: Public Workers Should not be ‘Denigrated’ or ‘Vilified’

Addressing the nation’s governors today in Washington, President Obama targeted state chiefs who have sought to balance their budgets through weakening unions and curbing employees’ benefits, insinuating that doing so is demonizing workers.

The comments are the second time Obama has weighed in on the unrest across the country after several governors have taken a touch approach with public employee unions. And while he didn’t overtly mention “attacks” on unions as he did last time, he did scold those governors forced to make tough choices to plug astounding budget gaps:

“I don’t think it does anybody any good when public employees are denigrated or vilified or their rights are infringed upon,” the president said.

Those remarks came on the same day that Wis. Gov. Scott Walker told AWOL state senate Democrats that unless they returned and voted on his emergency budget bill, he would be forced to start laying off workers.

Speaking in La Crosse, WI on Monday, Walker said the state faced “dire consequences” unless the 14 state senators return from their nearly two weeks away. His comments came as he planned to deliver his two-year budget plan in the state Assembly chamber Tuesday afternoon. He has said that plan will help make clear why the collective bargaining concessions he is seeking from public employees are necessary to help plug a $3.6 billion shortfall.

Walker explained that he will start issuing layoff notices to state workers as soon as this week if the bill isn’t passed, but he hasn’t said who would be targeted.

OBAMA: WIS. BUDGET MEASURES ARE AN ‘ASSAULT ON UNIONS
Posted on February 17, 2011 at 11:29am by Jonathon M. Seidl

Early this morning we brought you a brief clip from of a local Wisconsin reporter’s interview with President Obama. In the previous clip, Obama admits that he’s not really been following the Wisconsin unrest closely. But that didn’t stop him from weighing in anyway. After Obama said he wasn‘t really paying attention he went on to say the Wisconsin governor’s emergency budget proposal is an “assault on unions”:

In part that might be true. The governor is targeting public unions, but not without cause. The state faces a $137 million budget shortfall in the fiscal year that ends June 30. Forcing state workers to contribute 5.8 percent of their salaries to their pensions starting April 1, and at least 12.6 percent toward their health care, would generate $30 million by July 1 and roughly $300 million over the next two years when combined with the other concessions.

The measure would also remove the ability for public unions to collectively bargain over those measures.

Historically Obama has a close relationship with unions. One union alone, the SEIU, donated $27.8 million to Obama’s 2008 campaign. In turn, three local chapters of that union have received Obamacare waivers.
