In Egypt you had ordinary citizens attempting to overthrow a despot. In Wisconsin you have union goons attempting to overthrow a democratically-elected governor doing what he was just elected to do.
Was there really any question which side Obama would come down on in each case?
Nevertheless, it’s shocking to see ABC News attack President Obama:
“The President was quicker and more forceful of his denouncement of Gov. Scott Walker than he was of denouncing Hosni Mubarak,” [ABC Senior Political Correspondent Jon] Karl said. “Madison, Wisconsin – the state of Wisconsin — this is arguably ground zero for the 2012 presidential campaign. Look, this is a state if President Obama loses, he’s almost certainly going to not win re-election,” Karl explained.
This is no mystery. Obviously, President Obama was slower to attack Mubarak because he feels a certain respect for a man who is able to hold power for 30 years against the will of his people.

Isn't it fascinating that Donna Brazile, who speaks Ebonics, is always trotted out by ABC as the voice of the ultra-left, and no one seems to mind that she cannot speak English? Just axing......
Obama condemned Scott Walker quicker, more forcefully than Hosni Mubarak

Of course he did, he's anti-American and a Mooslem.
Conservatives like equal opportunity. Liberals want equal results. They mantra is "It's not fair."
It would be nice to believe they at least want equal results, but they seem to fully enjoy being a 'little more equal than others' themselves, it's their gracious big brains that justify that attitude, they just know they're better than the rest of us proles.

Hell life is not fair. If it where I would be driving a Merceedes and Jessica Simpson would be the maid.
Until I saw this, I only suspected that The Messiah was in fact, a puppet of big labor!
If you have not noticed, barry's willingness to jump in to local or state issues is troubling. From the police officer and his college professor to Gov. Walker and state workers, good ol barry will bash those that happen to be doing the jobs that they have sworn an oath to. Unfortunately he will not do the job that he swore an oath to.
When those acting like children and thugs are caught in the act, they can count on barry the meddler to ride in and try to confuse the issue and change the subject. People have caught onto his act and have had enough.
The only reason ABC noticed and brought up the subject at all is an attempt to prop up barry and make him look like he is really tough and able to rise up to the challenges that he faces.
Now that he and his cronies have force Mubarak out of Egypt, has he taken notice what a total CLUSTER he has created in the Middle East. That is right; he’s too busy checking out the footwear of Crown Prince Abdullah just before his is kicked in the face by him.
Your last line sums up the socialists/progressives very well, they crave power over their subjects above all else, it's their highest ideal.
Donna Brazile, "grassroots...trying to stop these draconian budget cuts"...WTF over? Why they even give her the time of day, OMG, she's as stupid as Sheila Jackson Lee. Yet more proof that this progressive marxist-socialist treasonous administration needs to be empeached; to a man, executed, carted off to prison for life, or exiled for five generations! We should outlaw and make unconstitutional any group or organzaion professing socialism in any form, up to and including any group or organization that props up or protects an such group. This would include the Democrat Party and most of the Republican Party!
Obama has acted like he doesn't care about winning the next election since he took office.
Arrogance maybe, or he knows something we don't
I tend to lean toward "he knows something we don't". He does have George Soros and Unions on his side.
Arrogance, Liberal Arrogance!
Exactly.
He is either evil and knows he cannot win but wants to inflict as much harm as he can KNOWING that it will be decades perhaps before ANYTHING can be restored or fixed.
OR
He is evil AND arrogant and believes that his presence is enough to make people vote for him because people will know that he has the best for people in mind.
Either way, it's our job to prove him wrong.
Of course Obama criticized governor Walker quicker and more forcefully than he did Hosni Mubarak. Mubarak is an old man of no consequence but Scott Walker is a democratically elected Republican and a danger to Obama's public employee union allies. Accordingly, he's mobilizing the entire Democrat thugocracy to destroy Walker.

Obama has already lost Wisconsin. The state turned red in November. Hell, they even threw tweener Russ Feingold out. That's what you get for voting for ObamaCare and the "stimulus" bill, Russ.
Now, WI, hurry up and pass constitutional concealed carry already. All it would take is basically removing two sentences in the current open-carry laws.
