Union bosses dumped hundreds of millions of dollars of their members’ dues into getting Barack Obama elected. They chastised the racists in their ranks, downplayed his socialist rhetoric, and they thought he would be their union savior. Worse, union bosses put both their members’ money and their livelihoods in his hands. Apparently, union bosses could have their cake and eat it too (or so they thought).

How much money have the Teamsters lost on shipping oil that the democrats blocked? Bosses and drivers took the hit along with the American consumer plus the cost of diesel.

Just another “opportunity” for obama to issue wavers. The shakedown continues.

Or the miners who can’t get any more permits for mining, or coal fired power plants, or export their coal to China?

The UMWA...duped into buying a pig in a poke. The coal miners I know are the salt of the earth but they shrug vote the way they’re told to vote. It’s hard to muster any sympathy for them when they see what Marxism has wrought.

So let me get this straight...it’s Obama who is killing middle class jobs in America and not those pesky corporations reaping all those insane profits but getting buried in regulations by the EPA.

Gee, for some reason the media makes us think otherwise....

DUH! Told that to unionized former co-workers...they could not see that the Democrat party was full of contradictions and fighting between special interest groups with the unions, especially the UAW, losing.

Let’s just go straight to the source of the evil: Obama is not just going to kill jobs, he’s going kill tens of thousands of Americans. Directly or indirectly.

Defund it but the House Republicans won't do it. They are cowards.

Having been a former union member, I have never understood why a union guy would vote Democratic.

Listen up Unions: The Demos want to kill off your jobs.
All of them.
