Nope, leadership. Walker is doing the right thing, he isn't governing by polls. Christie was in the same place Walker is now when he took on the teachers union. His polling is much better today as he closed an $11 billion hole in the deficit. Walker will be proven right as well.
You make a good point as Obama is pretty much in the same boat.
Elections have consequences, but so do actions. If elected officials do things while in office that are WRONG, people fight back. They can't recall Walker for a year, but if he keeps this up, he may be a one year vs. a one term governor.
Gosh, too bad we didn't hear this when the democrats were ramming obamacare down the nation's throat...maybe it would illicit more sympathy.
Gosh, just love this guy, telling CBS what we all know - the poll is basically bunk.
Is anyone really surprised that the MSM will do all they can to try and convince people that a majority of American's are FOR unions, when virtually every previous poll, before this controversy, said the exact opposite?

I wouldn't call a 10 month debate, with a 60 member vote in the Senate to over ride the R filibuster "ramming kit down the nation's throat." Kind of different than trying to push a sweeping bill through in a few days with no debate at all (plus giving the d's in the house the wrong vote time so they couldn't even show up to debate it), don't you think?
Let me get this right, when Obama or any democrat bucks public opinion its call being unresponsive or worse. Now if it's some reactionary, like Walker, it's leadership.
Ya gotta love em.
LOL, when has Obama bucked public opinion?
Additionally, Obama heard the voters lound and clear in November.
As time has gone on support for the governor & his agenda has shrunk. I suspect that trend will continue until the GOP backs off on the parts of the bill that relate to removing the employees collective bargaining rights. Those rights are the real issue with the Democrats - NOT the pay cuts. The moderate Republicans will likely be the ones who buckle first - which will force the bill to be revisited.
That's my prediction.
