Verbatim from Pres Obama's speech to Governors this morning:



"I don’t think it does anybody any good when public employees are denigrated or vilified or their rights are infringed upon.



"We need to attract the best and the brightest to public service. These times demand it. 15



"We’re not going to attract the best teachers for our kids, for example, if they only make a fraction of what other professionals make. We’re not going to convince the bravest Americans to put their lives on the line as police officers or firefighters if we don’t properly reward that bravery."
