Obama: Wisconsin is Launching an "Assault on Unions"

Stephen Gutowski | February 17, 2011
When asked

about the public employee benefits cuts in Wisconsin and the resulting union protests President Obama said he saw the cuts and other recent legislation as an "assault on unions".

After these comments it seems to me that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is going to become the next conservative sweetheart. Soon enough people will see Scott Walker doing something awesome and they'll think to themselves... Christie who? Walk on Walker... walk on.

UPDATE: To be completely fair to President Obama here I should point out that he seems to be specifically talking a new bill that seeks to eliminate some or most of the collective bargaining abilities of public unions. So if you were confused at all about the specific bill he referenced make sure you read up on it.
