Reply #12: Talk to him about what? Pres. Obama made similar remarks long before Biden.

"Obama voices strong support for Wisconsin public employees"

Pres. Obama's political arms, the DNC and OFA, have been working on helping to organize support for the pro-union protesters in WI, OH, and IN from the get-go. His WH has expressed support as well. All this effort by the President prior to Biden ever saying a word begs the question:

If labor leaders and WI protesters haven't complained about President Obama, why do detractors and naysayers here persist in doing so?


Furthermore:

It is not about Obama, but the cause that the workers are fighting for.

If Obama goes to Wisconsin, then the right wing will focus on "Washington intervention in a state's business"...that one talking point, could change the focus of the debate..nothing would help the right wing more, than having Obama come and get involved in the so called local business of Wisconsin...

It's much more likely that President Obama talked to his VP and asked him to make these remarks, which hew closely to what President Obama has said since soon after the WI protesters' standoff against Gov. Walker began.
