Chicago Teachers not Voting for Obama

Chicago union activists, unnerved by the White House’s inaction with regard to the teachers’ strike, are uncomfortable pulling for the home team.

    These morons will still vote for the usurper.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ed-Scott/100002103340101 Ed Scott

      Yes, they will. I don’t know what they see in Obama. I guess for them it is just easier than thinking.

      • Rachel

        Obama is known as the Union Label President…THAT’s what they see in him. They own him.

    Who is stupid enough to believe the “conservatives” GOP who Israel trained and backed for their special interests1

      LOL you just keep drinking the koolaid…

      Jose, there is help, and that brainwashing you received can be undone. It isn’t easy, but you can be all better if you want to. Somehow, I suspect you don’t want to. I am a Conservative, and Israel never trained me.

  • NickP

    Teacher says they are part of the poor…..at $76K + per year!!!!

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Peacock/100001241183282 David Peacock

      and with a 50% job performance no less

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ed-Scott/100002103340101 Ed Scott

        50% is it really that high? I thought it was lower. I think only 37% of Chicago Students read at grade level.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Peacock/100001241183282 David Peacock

          here is another tidbit;;;40% of the teachers send their own kids to PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

          • Jeanie

            Hi David, I just said that so that is two of us that know it is true.

          • http://twitter.com/jude83268949 jude

            with voucher they get to choose the best schools while they screw up public kids.

          • Rachel

            and they vote against vouchers for the rest of the poor. Protecting their own jobs and making the kids pay with a lousy education. They are DESPICABLE! If they did this lousy a job in the private sector, they’d be unemployed. Teachers and any public servants should never be unionized, because that pits them AGAINST the taypayers who pay their salaries. It’s an adversarial relationship, instead of public service. SHAME on them.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Paul-Broussard/100000569719030 Paul Broussard

          I bet most of the rest of them don’t live in the Chicago school district!

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ed-Scott/100002103340101 Ed Scott

      I would love to be 76k per year poor.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jan-Conroy/100000695756376 Jan Conroy

        Plus, only work about 8 months out of the year and have gold-plated perks, free health care and pension plan no similarly situated private sector employee receives. “Dead fish” should pull a Reagan and fire them all!

    • http://twitter.com/jude83268949 jude

      have to consider where they live, cost more, living expenses etc., the north always made more money than the southern states, they are also paying union dues, pension plan, but will reap big benefits when they retire.

      • siquijorisland

        Really is that the best you can do?

  • eric

    honestly, i don’t know why anybody would vote for obama. just look at the destruction he has done to this country. he has bankrupted the country. unemployment at over 8% since he took office, all the bills he has signed has killed jobs, he has spit on the constitution. people has got to wake up if we want to save our great nation.

    • http://www.facebook.com/john.hardman.79 John Hardman

      eric…there are two main reasons why people voted for Obama….1.) They expexted to get something from Him..perhaps a job..food stamps..section 8 housing…mortgage payments.etc etc.
      2.) George Soros has paid millions of $$$$ to the Obama Team to destroy the economy of this country; then when we are down on our knees begging for food in the streets, Obama would spring the trap and we would find ourselves in a Marxist Communist Nightmare. And 3.) There are those who would vote for Obama only because He is Black, even if He was the Devil incarnate, they would still blindly vote for Obama……..so sad…so sad.

        At least New Orleans Saints have a reason to attend football games. It is their only form of entertainment beside the New Orleans Hornets.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Paul-Wilkes/1849902565 Paul Wilkes

      Unfortunately there are an awful lot of voters who like communism without even knowing what it is. They also like Obama without knowing who he is. These are the product of our schools which have taken from the teachers the ability to teach by removing the hickory stick. Teachers have become highly paid baby sitters and now they want hazard pay.

      • Ron

        You should have added, The communist party USA has become the democrat party.

      • Rachel

        They look at the freebies and have NO CLUE to the downside…and they will rue the day.

      • jo_ella

        You are right, my dear friend from Poland said “you think you will like socialism (communism) but you live in a capitalist society, so it is easy to like something you have not lived.” He moved to the U.S. BTW as soon as he was old enough to leave home, he is working on becoming a citizen AND he has opened a business…something he said he could not have done back home. And he loves America so much that when his grandfather was ill and passed away he did not go back home, he was afraid he could not get back in the country it was right after 9-11-2001. His family supported his decision. Now that speaks volumes of how great our country really is. WE can defeat 0bama.

    • http://profile.yahoo.com/M73J6MXAXBEDWDF6S6EZKXIAXE Carmelita

      TAXPAYERS SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE WHAT OBAMA HAS DONE FOR THE FIRST 4 YEARS. IT IS ABOUT TIME OBAMA HAS TO GO FIND ANOTHER JOB. IF ROMNEY WINS IN NOVEMBER OBAMA WILL DEFINITELY FIND ANOTHER JOB. AT LEAST WITH THE JOBS
      ROMNEY WILL CREATE
      , OBAMA MIGHT QUALIFY FOR ONE OF THEM.C

      • jo_ella

        Well, Jimma Cahta can hire him at Habitat for Humanity….maybe?? wonder if 0bama can swing a hammer, he can’t throw a baseball!

      If I had school age children they sure wouldn’ t be attending public schools!

      • GretaN

        It is SO discouraging to hear that! Instead of jumping ship, we need to CLEAN UP OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS!!! I fight the good fight here in Portlandia – SOLO – and will continue to.

        • ginger

          what we need to do and what the “establishment” will allow are two different things. Look at the unions.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Anita-Eitmann/100000450497995 Anita Eitmann

    They are just talking through their a$$e$. These minions are going to vote like their Union demands them to vote. They are not free citizens. They are their Unions’ slaves.

    • umreb78

      Even the blacks in America in 1820 KNEW they were slaves…These “educators” (what a freakin joke) are too uninformed or too intellectually challenged to know they are nothing more than the union and Marxist community useful idiots. If they knew enough, though, they would also understand that after seizing power, the first Soviets to “vanish” under Stalin’s iron fist were these same useful idiots….but great point Anita

      • panors77

        And here we now have the NDAA, talking about people dissapearing,etc.

    • AnnesLimo

      Which is exactly why they are where they are getting paid for non-performance…

    • bernie

      Who really cares if they go back no not. Most of the kids don’t go to school and some drop out, so I quess these teachers just wander around pretty much empty rooms and hallways.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Peacock/100001241183282 David Peacock

    why do they think he will intervene;; it is not his cause.

  • JennieWalsh

    The crime bosses want to stay in power. Vote Ron Paul (write in) and clean up America. Every polling place MUST have supervised sign up sheets for Ron Paul voters so that Ron Paul’s votes cannot be stolen. Things are looking better and better for Ron Paul.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ed-Scott/100002103340101 Ed Scott

      Jennie, Ron Paul will never be President. If you vote for Ron Paul you are wasting your vote, and helping Obama.

      • cathy

        Very true, Ed.

    • bernie

      that would just be a vote for obummer and we don’t want that.

  • jojo

    LOL his “defensive” vote? These people will vote for Obama because they’re union lemmings.

  • JennieWalsh

    Things are looking better and better for Ron Paul. Overthrow the crime bosses.

  • ginger

    But look at how many will STILL vote for obama!! They are too stupid to be able to vote and these are the bloodsuckers who “teach” the children.

    • bernie

      Yes, and do you ever wonder what they really teach?

      • ginger

        sure isn;t reading  writing and arithmetic, they teach “feelings” and how to work the system to get something for nothing and consumate laziness.

  • Mary B

    They are one of the top paid teachers groups in the nation yet they have one of the shortest school day and has the least amount of days per year. (My daughters goes to high school (Texas ) has 7 1/2 hours each day yet Chicago’s HS are only 6 hours each day). Any wonder they have a 40% drop out rate.

    • GretaN

      How many school days does she attend? Ours have 169 days here in Portlandia – that is if they don’t lop of any MORE days, like they continue to!

  • Nana

    They need to pass these concessions past the residents south of Chicago as we are the ones who will be paying for these raises and I VOTE NO! We are paying for enough of the Chicago welfare and enuf is enuf. Some of us downstate don’t really give a darn about you people up there and we’re tired of paying for all your stipends…..Find another job if you don’t like your pay.

    • bernie

      You are so right, why don’t they charge parents a certain amount for each child attending school and then maybe the kids would attend then also the teachers can EARN their paychecks and it wouldn’t be a bad idea for the teachers having to contribute to their pension/health programs either not the public.

  • rog363

    Honestly, I don’t understand how a group of collage educated people like teachers need an outside organization, a union, to speak for them. I had worked at a company years ago which had an employees union after about two years a bid came up on the day shift, I bid on the position, I had been working a night shift at the time, and was awarded the position, the union fought my being given the position claiming there were men with more seniority who had bid for the position. The company fought the union and I was given the position on my ability to do the job over the seniority of others who had bid on it. I found out early in life that I didn’t need any one else to do my talking for me and that the union was a hinderence to my working hard for a promotion. The union was good at protecting the jobs of the slackers, those that were habitualy late and the drinkers. These, I found, were the ones who gladly payed weekly union dues so as to protect their weekly paycheck. When I left that position, I never worked for a company with a union again and did quite well for myself right up until the time I retired.

  • US taxpayer

    these union members will vote for obama — since all union members support the worldwide communist movement which obama is part of. a union member will never vote for a pro-American — I lived around union members and I was informed that if Hitler was on the democrat ticket that those union members would vote for him — all union members are anti-rule of law, anti- capitalist, and anti- US Constitution

  • Robert Courtney

    Ill believe when I see.
    Until then, it’s pure BS.
    LIBERAL teachers NOT voting for Obama?
    Why?
    Because they are mad at him, THIS WEEK?
    Uh Huh.

  • http://www.facebook.com/richard.clardy Richard Clardy

    Those coolaid drinking union menians will vote for Obama, they are just throwing a tantrum

  • cathy

    I heard $79,ooo and they want a 30% increase not the 16% offered!

  • Jeanie

    Did you know that 40% of the school teachers in Chicago send their children to private schools???
    Amazing isn’t it? It is because they know they will not be educated in the Chicago system.
    I feel so sorry for the other children.

  • Tallfritz

    The teachers are being childish. They get paid an average of $71K per year as teachers in Chicago, and they’re crying because Obama won’t help them get a raise… They’re like, “I hate you Obama if you’re not going to help us..”

  • http://www.facebook.com/john.hardman.79 John Hardman

    The most highly paid teachers in the Country are in a snit because they want even higher pay for thier sevices. In addition to this demand, they dislike the prospect of being subjected to periodic review of their teaching abilities. Add to the list of what they are demanding, is more and better Medical and Hospitilization benefits. I remember when “The National Air Traffic Controllers went out on strike; most
    of the Nations Air Ports were shut down or seriously limited in air travel. The Air traffic Controllers wanted less work and more money. President Reagan quickly addressed the situation and told the workers to get back to work or be fired.
    They opted to test President Reagen’s resolve, and they were all fired. Not only were thy fired, it was decided that they would no longer be able to work under a collective bargaining Union …ever.
    It is time to take charge of our hired hands that do those things that need doing; like Teachers, Firemen, Policemen, Garbage Collectors..etc…etc.
    If we allow the asylum to be run by the inmates…how stooopid is that????
    There are millions on competent capable and willing people to replace this group of malcontents in a new York heartbeat for far less monetary demands, and do a better job too boot.

  • Peter Davis

    Really now, can’t we all be quite certain that 98.5% of all teachers will STILL vote for Obama. God will judge us as a nation and individually.

    You expect more from a leader. But in Obama’s case don’t hold your breath. He looks out for number one. Himself. You got that teachers union? Ha ha ha. Eat more chicken. Have more fun. Yee haw.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_7JJCQ6HFMLEJ4UVJNCERSDH36Q Bernardo

    What’d these people expect? They all voted for Obama obviously and were too ignorant to see the forest for the trees. Obama’s “change” was about socialism from day one. These people are all die hard Dummycrats,”party of the little guy” my diehard Dummycrat father always told me, and I said B.S. ! It wasn’t hard to become smarter than your dumb dad politically. At least even in his grave today he’s in good company with Chicago idiots. Look who they have for a mayor,same I.Q. as NY’s Bloomberg ! Dumb as a fencepost. These people will hopefully wake up and come out of their political slumber, they make me ill. Teachers ! Bah ! Johnny still can’t read so why strike when you’re not teaching kids,math,science,history of the U.S.,the Constitution,about or Founders,etc. They don’t need a pay raise or nothing ’til they start “teaching”. Nuff said !

  • jim

    Why would the President of the United States, get involved in any public school teachers strike???

  • http://www.facebook.com/jane.berkley.9 Jane Berkley

    BULLCRAP!!! These people are ALL going to vote for Obama! They are in the teachers union.

  • Guest

    Chicago teacher’s lie like they teach- not very well.

  • Ron

    One would think that teachers, being educated, would not vote for obama. Can’t they see what he is doing. If he gets his way, there will be no teachers. Come on teachers, get real. Do a study if nothing else. If you are educated like you say you are, you will not vote for obama.

  • Rachel

    We are on the kid’s side…not on the side of a bunch of unionists who don’t want to participate in the recession like the rest of us are suffering through for 4 yrs now. We have to pay their hefty salaries and generous pensions and now they want RAISES too, when we can hardly pay our own bills?
    NO SYMPATHY WHATSOEVER. I won’t be voting for Obama either…he’s the one who put us all in this boat..and it’s sinking. And instead of bailing out the sinking boat, he’s off to Vegas for another fundraiser. All Obama cares about is Obama.

  • Rachel

    Obama is known as the “Union Label President”…THAT’s why they vote for him no matter HOW lousy a job he’s doing. They own him. They own the WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. What does that make THEM?

    The first thing these Socialists Slugs have said that made sense….Obama Stinks! So do public sector unions who think they are better than the taxpayers. We tax payers are against the wall that the Moron Democrats have spent us into.

    Obama kills jobs. Both Union and Non-Union Jobs. Unions always do much better than the economy is doing better…ain’t gonna happen with the dumb-ass communist in the White House.

    You Public Sector Union Guys should check your Sphincter / Cranial connections. A vote for Obama is a vote against your personal Economic Freedom and Prosperity. Don’t listen to that Marxist Class Warfare Crap coming from the White House.

  • AlarmBelle

    These jokers are ‘not’ going to vote for anyone but Obama, regardless of their disappointment in his ‘inaction’ of their fake ‘plight.’ Who do people think they are fooling? The will still go to the polls and vote for the fool. They love being lied to. If you don’t believe that, than explain how all these crooks like Rahm, Reid, Pelosi and other dems who’ve been ‘caught’ and ‘reprimanded’ and/or charged and still get their votes to go back into office?!? I am not fooled by these radicals. This is all for Obama’s benefit. They are hoping he will step up and ‘help’ them.

  • Cheryl Lynn

    Puleeeeze. Chcago teachers? They not only will vote for Obama, they will volunteer to have his baby . That state is a lost cause, (I used to live there). The only thing we can do is try to keep them from floating over to the neighboring battleground states and mess up their elections by voting multiple times..

    I think there are a lot of selfish teachers out there. The country is going broke and they are just concerned with their pocket books… don’t care about the kids future or their parents…. and are continuing to deplete the funds of their state…. and yet somehow the kids education is getting worse and worse. Time for bad teachers to go…. and the unions to take a flying leap…..

    A vote for Obama is avote to become a socialist country directed by the UN. Don’t like that idea? VOTE for Romney.
