I was sitting in the oncology waiting room (lots of good snacks and drinks there) waiting for the wife to finish her treatment. FoxNews was on the Telly and Obama was on flapping his jaws about how the mean old Republicans don't want to put teachers "back in the classroom." There was a woman and her husband waiting also and she sputtered, "they ARE in the classroom! What the hell is he talking about?" She said she used to work in a nursing home in Oregon and HAD to join the union. The solicited her for contributions to the union's political activity fund and she said Hell No! Had to pay dues mandatory, but she was not about to support their political activity. The union, why SEIU, of course. Just one bit of anecdotal evidence that folks are getting fed up with the Joker of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
