So is that the WH's reasoning for not taking a position?

Or is that ST's explanation?

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

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
