Barack Obama bought and paid for these banks. They better get in line behind his plan to abolish the secret ballot in unionization elections. Thats Rachel Maddows position. The MSNBC host is furious that banks taking bail-out funds have the audacity to do what they think is in the best interest of their businesses, instead of supporting the presidents scheme to do away with what most Americans consider a sacred element of democracy: the secret ballot.
Apparently Citi and Bank of America have hosted conference calls in which opposition was expressed to the Obama-backed, Orwellian-named, Employee Free Choice Act, which would permit the abolition of the secret ballot in unionization elections. That infuriated Maddow tonight . . .

Is that a woman? If so, she looks like Cory from “Boy Meets World.”
So if Obama takes my money he is my bitch?
These fools are destroying America because our citizens are public school "educated" morons. They can't help themselves. We can. We must protect the ignorant from social brainwashing. If not us, then who?
Also, if "news" isn't fair and balanced, its a political contribution and corporate political contributions are illegal under Federal election law (not that anything that helps Democrats is illegal now a days).
Who the hell is this Madcow
One hell of an over educated liberal “cunning runt”!
You are right. They did.
And now that everyone is looting the kitty, we taxpayers have to buy and pay for the banks again, and again, and again.
yep.... the borrower is always slave to the lender...
Since he took OUR dime to buy the banks, I suppose he needs to listen to us.
****Fat chance.
Wasn’t this one of the reasons alot of the community banks didn’t want any bailout money? They didn’t want to be “controlled” by BO and his thugs.
Does Maddow believe she/the state owns the means of production (classic definition of socialist) or does she just fancy herself a economic fascist?
Now she can get back deciding her costume for next Halloween. The skinny Elvis or the fat Elvis.
dollar will soon be worthless soon anyways!
Hilariously, her ratings are higher than Olbermann’s. (Although neither of them have 1/3 of O’Reilly’s audience) I find Madcow even smarmier than Olbermann, although he definitely wins the arrogance event.
She may call herself a lesbian, but she is figuratively sucking Obamas d*** on every show. Probably would love to give it a try in reality.
She rns her show and lives a place called Never Never Land, the place where teenage boys and female wannabees who never want to grow up live, write, and God knows what else. The latest cultural outpost of the Peter Pan Syndrome.
This odious Rachel creature spews nothing but trash as she vilifies, night after night, George W Bush, his administration, policies, WOT, and on on on. She is living in a NeverLand where the most important topic is Bush.
Literally talking out of the side of her sideways slanted mouth, she aims to appear brilliant and wonkish, She uses the same annoying inflextion, expressions and tones in every statement.
While this might be cute on a teenage boy, or just plain obnoxious, she continues on.
There is an equally, if not more sycophantic profile by someone called Rebecca Traister, a trash columnist for Salon.com.
Do you mean she’s a cunning linguist?
I wonder why she didn’t say you are forced to take Mr. Barack’s dime? As usual another pig in the pen does an oink oink.
‘What a CITI thing to do’...
-> “Just what is the connection between the two issues? Why would the banks have anything to do with the secret ballots for union workers?” -<
For one, most Banks are Non Union.
