Speaking at the National Press Club this afternoon, AFL-CIO president, Richard Trumka made a bold prediction: The Employee Free Choice Act--the flagship legislation of the labor movement--will pass in the first quarter of 2010.

"I think you'll see the Employee Free Choice Act pass in the first quarter of 2010," Trumka said. "You'll have it have some real effect. We'll start creating and making new jobs in this country again."

If this abomination is enacted, you will see a flight of manufacturing jobs from the North to the South like never before, and they will not stop at the US-Mexican border.

The American voters increasingly recognize that "Wrong-Way" Obama is doing NOT what America wants and needs but what Obama's crooked constituents want. He is in trouble OVER EVERYTHING and nothing he supports will have an easy time getting passed.

Obama must really think Americans are as stupid as his constituents in Chicago's 13th District.

That said, what can Trumka say but that the bill will pass!

You know he doesn’t have that blackberry with him 24-7 for nothing.

They did elect him and they give him a big majority
