Why did Obama want the unions to fail in Wisconsin so badly that he wouldn't campaign for them?

How does someone staying out of an issue denote wanting someone else to fail... and why does a president have to come to every cause's aid like that's in the job description?

It was all politics and political image.

All the polls predicted the recall would fail, so Obama stayed quiet on the election so he could not be identified with a failed political issue when the Presidential Election comes in the fall.

Unions are bad bad bad people

stop them....get all the states to have right to work for less states

keep them away from

all they want is person to have living wage, they have the nerve

all they talk about is safety...my boss will take care of me

If I want to work double shifts with no breaks,,my choice

I love my boss...he d=said if he has to pay me even .50 cents more he will move the business to

mexico...where he does not need to pay taxes...(he said he pays too much here)..he said he will never have to follow rules...and his workers can work for 3.00 an hour

he said he stays because he loves america..but if he has to pay one More cent to any worker and if has to pay my health insurance of 100.00 next month he will go broke...so I told him never mind

I will work for less...do not need a rest...and love the job

he smiled and walked away...he needs to get to the air port...he needs a vacation from all the stress

unions sucks and so does the gov...do away with it all...I stand with my boss..

................an american worker

oh yes...Obama....why should he go to state that was already rigged to win...30 million dollar from outside help....

people vote for nothing waste of time...

Well, Obama did send a tweet in support of Barrett... so there's that. :)

He didn't want another failure to his credit. No brainer!
