House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) is watching events in Wisconsin, and he's come to this conclusion: the thousands of union workers packing the Capitol are wrong and the governor is right.
In a statement to reporters this afternoon, Bohener said that Walker's plan to eliminate the collective bargaining rights of Wisconsin teacher, nurses and other workers is just the kind of thing Boehner's majority is trying to accomplish in Washington.
"Republicans in Congress - and reform-minded GOP governors like Scott Walker, John Kasich [OH] and Chris Christie [NJ] - are daring to speak the truth about the dire fiscal challenges Americans face at all levels of government, and daring to commit themselves to solutions that will liberate our economy and help put our citizens on a path to prosperity," Boehner said.
The Speaker ripped President Obama for his words of support for the protesters, and called on him to "lead."
He also slammed the Democratic Party for apparently providing support to the protesters, and called on Obama to put a stop to it.
