Teachers' unions uneasy with President Barack Obama
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1009/28409.html
A skirmish between powerful teachers’ unions and President Barack Obama over nearly $5 billion in education spending is shaping up as a preview of the battle to come over No Child Left Behind in Congress early next year.
But the tables are turned: now the unions are worried that Obama, a Democratic ally, is going to be just as tough on them as President George W. Bush, a longtime foe.
The dispute adds teachers’ unions to a growing list of key Democratic constituencies that have been frustrated by Obama’s lunges toward the political middle, along with gay-rights activists upset Obama won’t lift the ban on gays in the military, and Latino officials who say Obama is slow-walking immigration reform.
So far, both the unions and Education Secretary Arne Duncan have tried to avoid a full-on collision, and the unions are showing new flexibility in accepting previously unheard-of moves like stricter teacher evaluations.
But they’re also making it clear they'll only go so far with Obama, who was booed at two teachers' union conventions when he was a candidate.

"Obama is going to be just as tough as President George W. Bush"
The Reps should love him! I still don't understand why they don't like him. Right wingers keep posting arguments here to prove that Obama is rather a Rep, but at the same time they still don't like him.
I don't get it.

"Right wingers keep posting arguments here to prove that Obama is rather a Rep" who did that?
I know you are not familiar with what happens in America, so I will explain. Mr Bush gave billions of dollars to the teachers in No Child Left Behind money in a deal that Mr Kennedy (a Democrat) authored... the media and mindless liberals just have an unfounded hatred for Mr Bush and it comes out in the way stories are reported, such as the one that I posted in #93. Mr Bush was fairly liberal in his policies, but that did not gain him any love from the left.
