Obama Slams Kasich's Union-Busting Bill In Ohio (VIDEO)

Obama Slams Kasich's Union-Busting Bill In Ohio (VIDEO)

President Obama sat down with a local reporter from Ohio on Tuesday and laid into the anti-collective bargaining bill signed into law by Gov. John Kasich (R) last month.

<...>

Republican supporters of SB5 say the law is necessary to balance Ohio's budget. Obama told WKYC-TV the law unfairly puts the burden of cleaning up the state's fiscal mess on state workers.

"I strongly disapprove," Obama said of the Ohio law.

"Lets certainly not blame public employees for a financial crisis that they had nothing to do with," Obama said. "And let's not use this as an excuse to erode their bargaining rights."

3. Why do you take opinions that are different from your own so defensively?
Your remarks seem to be baiting for a flame war. There isn't one negative comment about the OP except for yours & the first responder's -- both against DUers. Calling out DUers is against the rules.

5. Oh, please. I've seen time after time that whenever Obama scores a nice point
these same posters go into the offensive mode & post these same types of baiting comments.

Whenever Obama gets a "win", why don't we just go with it instead of ruining the moment by anticipating what "the others" might say. Unless the name-callers are looking for an argument.
