Obama: Wisconsin is Launching an 'Assault on Unions'

Shortly after the state of Arizona began cracking down on illegal immigration, President Obama and company went on the offensive against the state.

Now, with the Gov. Scott Walker taking on unions in Wisconsin, it was only a matter of time before Obama gave his two cents. He has taken the side of the state government unions against Walker’s plan that would force state workers to cover half of their pension contributions and 13 percent of their own health insurance cuts. The plan would also strip government workers of the power to collectively bargain for higher wages unless the public approved it through a vote.

When asked about the public employee benefits cuts in Wisconsin and the resulting union protests President Obama said he saw the cuts as an “assault on unions”.

After these comments it seems that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is going to become the next conservative sweetheart. Soon enough people will see Scott Walker doing something awesome and they’ll think to themselves… Christie who? Walk on Walker… walk on.
