Rauner: Well, what at you prepared to do?

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:16 pm
Rauner: My offer to you is nothing. Nothing for keeping your right to collectively bargin, nothing to be able to strike, nothing to raise funds for campaigns, as for the price of your upcoming litigation, I expect that to be paid, both sides, by your Union, just not you, personally…

“Funny? Funny how? Like I’m a clown, I’m here to amuse you…..”

Comment by Wordslinger Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:21 pm
Klickna: You buy out my legislators, how bout this, I buy you out. I’m Cinda Klickna, I was taking out governors for Union teachers before you clouted your kid to be taught by them…

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:22 pm
Rauner: Payton Prep teachers did a bang-up job for my daughter, but your Union has to go.

“I will bury you. I will bankrupt you with legal fees…”

Comment by Old Shepherd Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:25 pm
Rauner: And Arne Duncan said teachers’ unions are tough…

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:25 pm
Rauner: once my ‘rauner stripper pot’ hits the streets this whole ‘education thing’ won’t really matter.

Comment by William j Kelly Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:26 pm
Klickna: if you’d like, we can see if your daughter’s scores were perfect. Yeah, that’s how “I” play…

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:26 pm
Nice Mo Green Willy!

Comment by Western Ave. Doug Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:27 pm
Rauner: There ain’t gonna be no pardon from no governor….

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:28 pm
Rauner: I was hoping we could talk privately. Dismantling unions is a personal thing, a private thing. But, if we must do it publicly…

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:31 pm
“Unions, we don’t need no stinking unions!”

Comment by Pot calling kettle Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:31 pm
Klickna: We’re union strong; you can’t bring us down with mere insults!

Excuse me? What’s so funny about that?

Comment by Wensicia Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:34 pm
I know something you don’t know!

Comment by JS Mill Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:36 pm
Klickna: Yeah, let’s talk business, Bruce. First of all, you’re all done. The Executive Branch alone dosen’t even have that kind of muscle anymore. The language is too far right, right? You’re getting chased out of Caucuses by Cullerton and the other Leaders. What do you think is going on here? You think you can come to my Union and take us out? I talked to the Democratic Leaders - I can make a deal with them, and still keep our Union whole..

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:36 pm
There’s something on your tie. Oh, my mistake. You don’t have a tie.”

“And you don’t have a union.”

This is how you sit up straight. Stop slouching!

Comment by iMark1978 Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:40 pm
Yeah, for the camera I do my Smiley routine. When the camera goes, I get down and dirty!

Comment by IB Strapped Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:40 pm
Rauner: (whisper, through a smile) listen, put me through another one of these public “Q & A”s again, the next thing you’ll be organizing is a cleaning out of your union’s office space, understand?

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:42 pm
Klickna: Explain to the members out there why I found the head of a stuffed plush horse on my seat here today…

“Beauty and the Beast”

Comment by Buzzie Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:45 pm
Klickna: Governor, we’ll make you a bargain, collect your stuff right now and just go…

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:47 pm
See those empty chairs behind me? Those were for the union reps. I ate them, just after I finished off a few state workers. And you were saying?

Comment by How Ironic Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:48 pm
Rauner: You play your cards right, I can get you a job as head of tutoring at Rauner Prep, after I ruin the Union that is…

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:49 pm
Rauner: All the Union teachers that taught my daughter called me Bruce, you guys shoujd just call me Bruce…

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:51 pm
Klickna: Governor, the Payton Prep teachers don’t like you either…

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:52 pm
Klickna: I want to get to know you on a first name basis, your family, where you live, your hopes and dreams. Your fears.

Comment by Cheswick Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:52 pm
Klickna: Tell me, Bruce, are you Da Speaker on Twitter?

Comment by Cheswick Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:53 pm
Rauner: Have you talked with Rev. Meeks yet? By the look on your face, that must be a “no”

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:55 pm
Rauner: So the last time we spoke, it wasn’t me, but instead my evil twin. Ya know, it’s like Star Trek a parallel universe.

Comment by Chicago Cynic Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:55 pm
Rauner: That’s sounds fun, gonna have fun watchin’ ya try ta stop me…

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 2:57 pm
Klickna: Governor, have you read the Constitution and the part on pensions?

Rauner: (smiling, talking through smile and clenched teeth) Oh, I read it. Wait till you read how I’ll defeat it…

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:00 pm
You wanna fight the teachers?

Why don’t you ask your friend Rahm how that worked out?

Comment by jerry 101 Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:01 pm
On second thought, Monty, I’ll take the goat.

Comment by Anonymoiis Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:06 pm
Klickna: You know, Governor, when the Grinch’s heart was warmed, it grew two sizes too big.

Rauner: Oh yeah? Well the Grinch wasn’t worth $600 million and became a governor, your point?

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:08 pm
Klinkna: Stay in school and stay for that rauner stripper pot! Rauner stripper pot is wack!

Comment by William j Kelly Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:09 pm
Rauner: I want all you teachers out there to understand; there’s a generous severance package, and when you do reapply for your jobs, everything, including your roles in this …Union…will be given proper weight in your new application…

Comment by A guy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:12 pm
Can’t wait til we swap chairs and I ask the questions and we do it on a weekend when my audience is off work.

Comment by A guy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:14 pm
Rauner: (laughing) it’s not my fault you’re in a Union, no, just as its not your fault I sm going to destroy it. (Laughing skies) No, no one to blame. (Pauses and smiles)

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:15 pm

“Well now Mr. Rauner, looking here at your permanent record I can see that you received a negative check mark on ‘works well with others’.”

Comment by D.P.Gumby Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:22 pm
Rauner: I am a huge fan of teachers. Farmers, however, are the backbone of Illinois.

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:23 pm
Rauner: I just want to say, I saw the protesters’ signs coming in and the spelling and penmanship were stellar.

Was that the hammer or the shake?

Rauner: Since everyone keeps quoting “the Taylor Swift”…”I. Am. A. Nightmare. Dressed…As. A. Day. Dream…Day. Dream. Daydream. Dressed as a daydream. Whatever.

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:33 pm
Klickna: Where’s that van, you hippie…

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:34 pm
Klickna: Give the teachers here an example how your administration is going to be different?

Rauner: I’m here to tell ya…elections, they have consequences…

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:49 pm
Cinda, among all of these people here, you were chosen the leader because of that remarkable charisma you possess. It says something about you and all the people here. See you in Mid-January.

Comment by A guy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:51 pm
Rauner: If I were you guys, imagine that George Bailey took that job to work for me and I shut down the Building and Loan. That’s where you guys are…

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:53 pm
Gee, Guy, spreading your self-described “kindness” today?

Comment by Wordslinger Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 3:55 pm
Rauner has a laugh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVY1-v97Mic

Comment by Precinct Captain Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 4:05 pm
Rauner’s thinking: the “keep quiet about busting unions until after the election” strategy is working!

Gee, Guy, spreading your self-described “kindness” today?===

Perhaps I’m being a bit harsh Sling. Nice and very ironic for you to point it out. I’m not a fan of Ms. Klicka’s and I remember that day rather vividly. I wouldn’t call it her finest hour, but she did conduct what she came there to conduct; a pep rally for one guy and something else for the other guy. The picture reminded me of the day. Caption contests are a solicitation for humor I believe Sling.

No matter who points out that I might be too harsh, I reflect. In this case, you may be right. I’ll watch myself.

Comment by A guy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 4:14 pm
- How Ironic -

Well played.

Thanks - WAD -,

“Caption?”

Rauner: it’s not you guys, it me. It doesn’t help hearing that, but know, it’s not you.

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 4:39 pm
How about if you take over my personal investments. Word is that you did one hell of a job for TRS

Comment by Sue Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 4:58 pm
“It’s hemlock, Cinda. Take a swig.”

Comment by Socrates Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 5:00 pm
Rauner: “You can have me as your best friend or your worst enemy. Choose Wisely.”

Comment by Judgment Day (on the road) Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 5:09 pm
“Cinda, I’d like to thank you for personally making the motion to approve TRS’s last investment in GTCR. That meant a lot to me. Can I count on your support one more time?”

I’m looking for a brilliant lady seen any?

Comment by Anonymous Tuesday, Feb 10, 15 @ 7:34 pm
Bruce, if I told you that we are all in for Quinn would you hold it against us later?
