Obama to Wisconsin’s Recall Pushing Unions: I Was Just Too Busy To Bother With You

Certainly we can all agree that it really is a “truth of the matter” that being President of the United States is quite a demanding job. But one has to ask that if he was too busy with the myriad of duties he faces as President, why did he have time for about a bazillion fundraisers the very week of the recall election?


“The truth of the matter” is that Obama has thrown literally hundreds of fundraisers — Up to June 7 some 270 different fundraisers, more than any President — and was even just south of the Cheddar Curtain down in Chicago only a few days before Election Day.


The very day after the June 5 recall election he went on a spree of California-based funders attending four of them in one day.


But his June 6 schedule was nothing. A mere four days before Wisconsin’s Election Day he attended no less than six of them in one day, three in Minneapolis and three in Chicago.


Still, with a schedule like this I guess I can see why he was just too darn busy to indulge even one little campaign stop to help out his union pals in Wisconsin. Obama’s a busy man, indeed, and must be exhausted.


Only I don’t see a whole lot of the people’s business getting done with this intense fundraising schedule, do you?


But it has to be said. If I were a union man, I’d be none too happy that the single most important election in the country for union issues was completely ignored by the president I spent so much blood, tears, and money to get elected.


Well, maybe not completely ignored. There was that one heartwarming Tweet that he had some long-suffering staffer type out. So, the unions have that going for them, which is nice.



LOL

Do you honestly think there was anyone in WI that wasn't aware of the vote?

Wow. This takes the record for the fastest time a Liberal has ever conceded total and complete defeat! Stunning!

So you say, everyone was aware of the vote, and yet the anti-Scott Walker side only had 45% of the vote to Walker's 54%. That's a 9-point difference... in most political arenas, 10-points is considered a 'landslide' so Walker did pretty well. Furthermore, it puts a rather poignant end to the debate over public-sector unions and their choke-hold on states. The people have spoken... the well-aware and informed people, at that.

Thanks for saving us the time of a lengthy argument, it is always best to just lay down the sword and surrender when it's over, and I commend you for that, soldier!
 
There are myriad complaints about voter fraud at the polls, as well as the actions in the days leading up to the election. They may or may not be investigated. The OP was about any effect that Obama may or may not have had on the outcome, had he done......what?

Do a PSM for the vote?

Well, you'd think a PSA might have been doable, given all the money unions have contributed. After all, this was a biggie for them.

And "voter fraud?" Please, let's not go there. It was a 9% difference. Do you understand the level and amount of fraud it would take to do that? I mean, sure, if you got some legitimate gripe, investigate it, but let's not jump off the reality train here and pretend this outcome was rigged. The effort failed, and the issue is settled. No need to sound like a rabid Ron Paul fanatic!

Yes. 9% is a pretty wide margin. That doesn't negate the widespread attempt to deceive the democrat voters.

Particulary interesting are the robocalls telling voters they don't need to vote

So your widespread attempt was 594 voters with a variety of complaints? I would agree the robocall one is the most disturbing if true... but they have nothing to substantiate the claim(s) of that. One reason I think all robocallers should have to file a report showing the numbers they called and that they should have to clear all robo messages prior to allowing them to be done.

Sounds like a waste of money in a record turnout election. Any excuse in a poopstorm though.

Especially when you consider that the whole reason for the recall was swept under the rug during the recall campaigning because voters actually liked what the reforms were doing for their cities and school districts.

I guess this kind of contradicts your first post, where you didn't seem to think it mattered that Obama didn't campaign for this, that the voters were all aware of the vote... that's what you said. Now, you have changed that. Now you are claiming the Democratic voters were not properly informed, in fact, they were misled. Perhaps Obama could have come on TV and told them they DID need to vote?
