Official: Obama to repeal 4 Bush executive orders - (Sadly, not satire)
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 1/30/09 | AP via Chicago Sun-Times

WASHINGTON---- President Barack Obama intends to overturn four Bush-era executive orders that unions opposed, officials said Thursday.

Obama planned to reverse one order Friday that allowed unionized companies to post signs informing workers that they were allowed to decertify their union, an order some claim is unfair because nonunion businesses are not required to post signs letting workers know they were legally allowed to vote for a union.

Be sure to thank not just John McCain, but also Mikey Huckabee for this, folks.

Since when did a business need permission to post the truth on their own bulletin boards???

This is exactly why much of the American business community is in a holding pattern right now.

Their entire 2009 business plans are in limbo waiting on the decisions from the left.
Unfortunately it is becoming all too clear that the One is no friend of the business world.

With out profit, the businesses and the workers, have no discernable future.

Hey...it's good to see the “middle-class” is back. they've been gone for 8 years.
Course, the homeless are now gone, and the uninsured are now gone...

Ah, so you should not be allowed to do something because someone else is not required to do something.

Makes no sense at all.

At least we can finally get business back to the glory days of the steel, textile, and auto industry..... Oh wait, they have been driven to the brink by unions. /s

Well, maybe we can get the coal miners back in the chips again.....Oh wait, he said he was going to put those union members out of work. I'm so confused. I guess the only people these exec orders affect will be WalMart employees. Lets unionize WalMart so we can put another couple of hundred thousand employees out on the street.

P I E!

“One of the things I was talking to my staff about yesterday is I do believe — and I make no apologies for it — that over the last 100 years the middle class was built on the back of organized labor. Without their weight, heft and their insistence starting in the early 1900s we wouldn’t have the middle class we have now, in my view,” Biden told CNBC for an interview Thursday. “So I think labor getting a fair share of the pie is part of it.”

Now that he’s started repaying the muslims for their donations to the campaign, now he’s settling with the unions.

I've heard that was one of the primary reasons why the Great Depression lasted so long. No one knew what whim would get into Hoover's or FDR's heads, so no business could make long term plans. They just tried to coast and keep their head above water for as long as they could. The needs of World War II focused everyone's attention on victory, so there was less time to fiddle with the economy after 1941.

Our only hope to limit the amount of damage this guy can do to our country is to make sure his term is four years, not eight.

Thompson didn’t have anywhere near the influence on the events that produced the Albino RINO as the GOP nominee.

It was Huckabee more than anything else.

I don’t know if Romney would have won, but I do believe Romney would have made a much better fight, especially after the economic meltdown became ‘the theme’ of the campaign.

“So I think labor getting a fair share of the pie is part of it.”

That’s really what it’s all about with the libtards... dividing pie among interest groups instead of strengthening the nation.

After reading Atlas Shrugged, hearing that just makes want to slap him.

Precisely.

It was the Huckster that locked up the 'abortion is the only issue and nothing else matters, period, end of story' crowd, which led to the conservative split.

Yep...ironically that view is being expressed on the thread about Super Bowl commercials related to abortion being turned down by NBC.
