In reply to the discussion: have president obama come home and "walk on that picket line" with the chicago teachers union [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)stomp your foot and call it "nonsense" because you aren't happy with the way the real world works.
See, if your view held sway, Obama would be delegating Libya and Egypt to Biden and personally supervising a little strike negotiation in Chicago.
Good thing your view doesn't hold sway!
One more time, since you didn't take the point the first time around--the President is in no way OBLIGATED to comment on every "teacher issue" every time one crops up. He's free to comment on what he'd like, IF he would like, but that does not mandate a response after every, or even ANY, event. If we were to apply this sort of situation to baseball, we might say that just because he occasionally watches the Cubs play ball and might remark at the score or a particular play, that doesn't mean he also has to watch the Nationals and offer similar commentary.
Your point, whatever it is (and it sounds like a whine that he's not paying attention to a local issue YOU deem "important" is just not compelling. Your continued insistence that he "owes something" to a union that seems to be handling themselves just fine without his help is frankly, bizarre, particularly given the recent very serious events that have taken place in the world. This insistence does not speak well at all to your sense of priorities, to put it as bluntly as I can manage.
