50. But... there's a key labor ally of Obama's who's insisting that labor thinks Obama's doing great...

�The president has been accused of watching situations to see how they develop so I think the fact that he issued a clear, clean, quick statement was critical for the relationship. It helps enormously,� said former SEIU president Andy Stern, a key Obama labor ally who served on his deficit commission.

If a former labor official who served on Obama's deficit commission thinks Obama's handling things swimmingly, then it must be true. Why should anyone have to be bothered actually coming out to Wisconsin?
:sarcasm:
