Dear Mr. President,
Teachers are role models for "shared sacrifice".

You are clearly out of touch with public workers.

I'm wondering if you even own a pair of walking shoes.

6. I am going to treat you just like I treat politicians that I disagree
with.

When they make a statement that I disagree with I tell them and give facts to back up my position

proud2BlibKansan made a statement and opinion, you disagreed with it, which is your right
now please show where the poster is wrong. It is the least you can do.

7. In all fairness,
I didn't list a lot of facts in my OP.

But thanks for your support. :)

8. First opinions I do not feel need facts to back them up
It is just an opinion, it is a belief
If someone finds they do not like your opinion
then they need to state the reasons why
those are called facts.
Then the first opinion needs to either counter them
or accept the facts,

What we have in government today is all opinion and no one uses any facts to counter anything
and the other side never looks at the facts

4. Some say this man is stubborn about the advice he gets...
To them, I say, "bullshit".... there is a difference between stubborn and out of touch.

He's clearly out of touch and according to the news I read today and listened to, he's not so strong on knowing who's bad advice to take, either.

Too bad if the apologists can't swallow this too well. Let that be the extent of your sacrifice for the day.

5. i knew as soon as he picked duncan the teachers were screwed.
now it seems the rest of us are supposed to "sacrifice for reform"... my wife`s employer is`t sharing the sacrifice. they are trying to get everything they can in the new contract so they don`t have to sacrifice.that is fact is lost on obama

9. Perhaps if the OP had a link to a video or a transcript then we'd know what you're talking about n/t
