- Meanwhile, Obama has been quiet on the Chicago teacher strike issue. - Strongbad Sep 18, 05:07 37
  - It's a local issue; the only reason it is of note to him is Chicago is his hometown. - Will Hunting Sep 18, 05:37 5
    - And his former CoS is Mayor - Strongbad Sep 18, 05:39 4
      - He's also very aware of the Teachers Union in Chicago pulling strikes frequently, iirc from his book. - Will Hunting Sep 18, 05:43 3
        
        Yes, that IS a big deal. That's my point. - Strongbad Sep 18, 05:44 2
        
        He has both; it's a local issue that isn't under his purview from a constitutional aspect. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 18, 05:49 1
        
        It surprises me that he has not come out Pro-Union on this issue. - Strongbad Sep 18, 05:52
  - I predict non-sequiturs. -- nm - Roger More Sep 18, 05:17
  - Do presidents usually get involved with local government issues? -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 18, 05:10 28

      - Lindsay Lohan gets national news coverage. Should Obama take a position on her? - CovingtonCat Sep 18, 05:39 7

        Great comparison. Thanks. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 18, 05:40 5
        
        Of anyone in this thread, you cannot critique comparisons. - Will Hunting Sep 18, 05:44 4
        
        We've had what... 20 threads in the past 24 hours on Mitt Romney's stupidity? - Strongbad Sep 18, 05:48 2
        
        I have zero problem with the thread you created. - Will Hunting Sep 18, 05:51 1
        
        My mistake. - Strongbad Sep 18, 05:54
        
        [deleted]
      - This is one of the silliest things you've ever posted. -- nm - ty97 Sep 18, 05:30 1
        
        That's saying a lot. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 18, 05:34
      - National coverage doesn't change that the impact is and will continue to be local to Chicago. -- nm - TWuG Sep 18, 05:30 15
        
        So is that the WH's reasoning for not taking a position? - Strongbad Sep 18, 05:33 14
        
        Dunno. States' rights, probably. -- nm - Roger More Sep 18, 05:41
        
        I have no idea what the WH rationale for staying out of it is.. But its as good a rationale as you can get. -- nm - TWuG Sep 18, 05:38
        
        Why should the president take a stand on a local government issue? - CovingtonCat Sep 18, 05:36 8
        
        When was the last time a labor dispute got this much press coverage? - Strongbad Sep 18, 05:43 7
        
        that was a local issue was well, that got as much national attention. - tRuMaN Sep 18, 07:19
        
        It's a local issue. There are no national ramifications. The strike isn't in danger of spreading to other cities, doesn't involve violence, - TWuG Sep 18, 05:45 1
        
        If that's the thinking, fine. - Strongbad Sep 18, 06:14
        
        Again, why should the president take a stand on a local issue? - CovingtonCat Sep 18, 05:44 3
        
        If that's the standard you want to hold him too, fine. - Strongbad Sep 18, 05:46 2
        
        No, that's the standard you're holding him to - that just because something is getting national press coverage he should take a position. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 18, 05:49 1
        
        "why should the president take a stand on a local issue?" -- nm - Strongbad Sep 18, 05:50
        
        I doubt it is even on the WH's radar. They have diplomats being killed overseas. A local strike shouldn't be on their radar -- nm - Beaker Sep 18, 05:35 2
        
        Considering it was probably the #1 issue in the news Pre-Egypt & Libya - Strongbad Sep 18, 05:36 1
        
        #1 issue where? In Chicago maybe. Nationwide? Not likely -- nm - Beaker Sep 18, 05:40
  - is that a Federal issue? -- nm - Beaker Sep 18, 05:10

    - I forget the terms, but remember learning in high school that we have two different vocabularies. - ty97 Sep 18, 05:13 5
      - That's a phallusy. I am completely cognizant in my vocabulary and I use every word i know unsparingly and sporadically. -- nm - Roger More Sep 18, 05:16 4

        I did, but only to seem if there was a theme. -- nm - ty97 Sep 18, 05:20 1
        
        I dong think I could put that many intercourses into a single sentence, even using backdoor methods. I'd try, but I'd probably blow it. -- nm - Roger More Sep 18, 05:26

    - I liked 'deracinate'. hadn't actually heard it before, but could figure it out from the roots, so to speak. -- nm - mafic Sep 18, 01:03
    - chivvy should be in use for the election season. -- nm - the liioulu without chrome Sep 18, 00:00
    - they are. not much used these days though -- nm - the liioulu without chrome Sep 17, 23:57

        Yes, I know spargle, that's why I miss-typed. :) nm - ralph wiggum Sep 18, 00:01 3

    - I did not checkmark those words. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 23:54 2
      - I suspected a couple of those words as being like the fake drug names they used to put on DARE surveys in H.S. to weed out joke responses. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 18, 00:00 1
