Governing is not a popularity contest. The Governor and the Government of a State should not be treated like an American Idol Game show. The Governor is doing his job as best he sees it. He wants to end the brutal downward spiral of the State’s economy, to stop the interest payments bleed which will eventually kill Wisconsin, and to bring honest accountability to government. It is amazing that there is no outcry from the media concerning the democrat representatives who have run away from their jobs. At the federal level, the last Congress of the USA faced an unprecedented show of force by President Obama. He offered legislators money, kickbacks, perks and political promises including campaign money, resources and his appearance at their rallies. Obama delivered on his promises for pork barrel spending to the Senators he purchased and he used Air Force One, the nation’s Jet to fly to dozens of rallies, (five alone in NJ) to support those he owned. The cost of the jet for one use is minimally $180,000 per one way flight. So to support NJ democrat candidates cost the US Treasury $1,800,000 taxpayer dollars! You do the math for all the Obama Campaign trips. I think he could give Wisconsin that money and solve their money problem. Oh, I forgot, we are talking about “do as I say and not as I do” Obama! Is this man ever going to stop scolding the citizens of USA? I think not until 2012 when he’s let go. By the way, during the onslaught of Obama/Reid/Pelosi, the Republicans did not run away from their jobs. Although they were totally ignored by the majority democrats, the republicans stayed, spoke out, proposed viable alternatives and valiantly tried to use the art of persuasion and sound reasoning to win the fight. Obama, Reid, Pelosi, the Unions and the bribes were too much and the democrats won the battle but as evidenced by the 2010 election, they may have lost the war.
