Obama just picked up Union vote for '12 election (house of representatives, Congress, poll)

Let's applaud Scott Walker. By signing that ridiculous bill flanked by the usual GOP suspects, he has essentially guaranteed that a historically high union support will be going for Obama and the Dem candidates going forward.

WI union members might've lost that battle, but they did succeed in raising the awareness around the country that the GOP continues to stink. The GOP's future in WI is also in peril.

I think you mean that he picked up the middle class vote.

Now that right there is some Earth-shattering news.

What are you going to tell us next....that the NRA is going to back the Republican candidate?

[Joe_Ryder]

What? Unions buying......err.....I mean backing a Democrat? I don't believe it!

Union membership is shrinking faster than George Costanza in a swimming pool.

Seriously?
The Obama needed Walker to garner union support?
Mr. "I'll paint this country SEIU purple?"
Mr. "My agenda is your agenda?"
OK.

Unions can't vote, only individuals can.

Are you saying unions bypass that civil right and force all union individuals, to allow the union to cast their vote for them?

Middle-class votes as a block?

"Obama's approval among independent voters who he will need for his 2012 re-election drive took a sharp dive, to 37 percent from 47 percent, the poll found. Independents fled Democrats in congressional elections last November, enabling Republicans to win the House of Representatives and make gains in the Senate."

He has been able to fake it for a while by blaming Bush and obstructionist Republicans for his failures, but when it comes time to lead, he has to be able to lead. He has to have a plan for the future beyond getting elected, reelected and livin' large on the public dime. Now is the time to lead and it has become obvious he has no plan, cannot lead and has never done anything except win elections.
