The one thing in all this that really needs to be understood is that no matter what the unions will loose in this matter. The reason is that there is no money to continue with business as usual. Walker is doing the best thing he can in order to save jobs from being lost and to eliminate the need for furlos. Also, something else that is not being noted is that many of the people in the protests are being bussed in from out of state. What needs to be understood is that the people of the state voted him into office to do his job and fix the problems within the state. This is the first step in a long hard process. Wisconson, like many states is facing the reality of a major financial shortfall. One that can in fact bankrupt the state.
As for Obama and his remarks regarding the situation, he is the president of the united states but that does not give him the right to say what is and is not the way to handle this. He is also not a reliable source as his administration has created the largest debt this nation has ever seen and has not come up with a reasonable way to fix that himself as of yet. He should be focusing on his issues not the issues of other states at this time.
