President Barack Obama is pledging a relentless fight to rebuild the economy as millions of families struggle.

Obama is telling union officials in Washington, "We are not giving up, and we are not giving in."

He spoke of spouses who must have uncomfortable conversations about not being able to afford their homes any more or not being able to save money for college funds.

The president spoke to the AFL-CIO Executive Council.

He has indeed been "relentless" in his fight against the economy, but I guess the A.P. writer meant something else.

My thoughts, too. He hate a free market economy, and will do whatever it takes to sink it.

Meanwhile, the spouse of our POS "President" is paying for 60 rooms, on taxpayer dollars, in Spain. Imagine the "spouses" in the Gulf States (or even Hawaii) and the conversations they could be having with that taxpayer money spent in their American town. It may even help send an American child to school!

Well your idiotic policies are forcing many fine Americans to throw up their hands in despair and others are simply sitting on them while they wait for another one of your many shoes to drop.

Please go back to Kenya.

Many - if not all - unions have long outlived their reason for existence. Especially public sector unions. They may not be the root cause of the problem but they are only one or two branches removed.

Maybe he should have started this “relentless fight” by keeping Michelle at home....what must the taxpayers of America been shaken down to provide her security and the security of her entourage in that expensive resort....30 rooms, AF2...., guards, automobiles etc. Truly these people have no class....learning at the expense of the American people...what a hypocritical and tasteless thing to do Michelle for going to Spain and Obama for lying once again to a nation he cares so little about.
