Why should the president take a stand on a local government issue?

Posted by CovingtonCat Sep 18 '12, 05:36

There are labor disputes going on all around the country at any given time. There's one in my town now. Should Obama take a stand on that?

Responses:

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
