Richard Trumpka and other Union Leaders are close to Obama

Unions spent a fortune helping Barack Obama get elected.  He owes them.  Now,they want their payoff.  Union leaders remind Obama of his debt to them on weekly basis.  The most frequent visitor to the Obama White House is Andy Stern,the president of the Service Employees International Union.  Stern visited the White House 22 different times during his first nine months in office.   Richard Trumka,the new president of the AFL-CIO,has already visited at least eight times.

These men wield great power over the U.S. President.  They tell him what they need,and he delivers.  “We’re going to make sure that in every policy,every decision,we don’t lose sight of the folks that brought us to the dance,” Vice President Joe Biden told the AFL-CIO Executive Committee in March.  That promise has held true.

The $787 billion stimulus bill,which has failed miserably at stimulating the economy,was a union payoff. Obama issued an executive order tied to the bill that “strongly encourages”hiring union labor for all government contracts.  The bill also demands all construction contracts pay union wages.  Obama told us Porkulus would create jobs and keep unemployment below 8%.  It did not.  It rewarded unions,which make up only 12.5% of the workforce.

Other union payoffs include the auto company bailouts and cutting the D.C. school voucher program.  The United Steelworkers union demanded he impose a tariff of Chinese tire imports.  He complied.  The result?  Higher prices for U.S. consumers during terrible economic times.  The rest of the country be damned,as long as the unions are happy.

Obama is an enabler of unions and by definition he too is one of them…they suck the oxygen from the free market and if they are not stopped will destroy our American way of life forever…2010 &2012 the worm will turn!

    It makes one wonder,if,when they pass Obama Care,will they unionize nurses,hospital workers,and MDs? He will then have accomplished his goal of damned nearly Socializing the country. We are in trouble. We need to educate the 18-30 year olds for the most part,relative to what is going on.

    Did you realize that if you go to the SEIU offices in downtown Chicago you won't see it on the directory in the office,but if you go up to the SEIU floor that ACORN is also there? Hmmm….makes you wonder doesn't it? The WLS AM RADIO morning hosts Don &Roma checked it out,even though they denied there was an ACORN office in Chicago. ACORN &SEIU sharing office space,and Obama has no connection –RIGHT!

    We need to get rid of the unions once and for all. They may have power but there is more of us than their is of them and we have power to. What they don't realize is having Obama in bed with them may be the biggest mistake they ever made. Everyone is paying more attention to what disgusting things the unions stand for and are amazed that they hadn't noticed before.
