Rush Limbaugh said Monday a strike by the 26,000-member Chicago Teachers Union was nothing but a ploy to help President Barack Obamas reelection.
Lets just see how long this thing goes on, and lets see how it gets solved, the conservative talk show host said on his radio show. Anybody want to bet against me that Obamas the one that gets credit for this, in a few short days? Anybody want to bet that there might be a little bit of violence and finally Obama will have to move in and do something? He and [Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel] will figure this out so they get credit for solving it. Because, I tell you: There is no union that is gonna go on strike right now for the express purpose of harming Barack Obama.

You watch, Limbaugh predicted, according to a transcript. Rahm Emanuel himself is the guy who said, Never let a crisis go to waste. We know that the unions, Obama and Rahm Emanuel, the Democrats, are in bed with each other. So this, to me, I think its a perfect setup.
