BANKSVILLE (KDKA) ―

A Wednesday morning protest in Banksville is causing major delays for the morning commute.

The protest was staged by the Boilermakers Local 154 on Banksville Road near Crane Avenue.

Over 400 union members lined the streets to protest President Barack Obama's new energy bill.

According to our news partners at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, police were directing traffic to help keep vehicles moving.

One man was arrested after he crossed the street despite police ordering him not to.

Here in the Pittsburgh area, pretty much everyone (except me and maybe 10 other people) voted for Obama. Now even the unions are against him.

maybe 11 other people.

I’m one, too.

Sleestak looks like he is going down here in Pa , Toomey is up by 10 and looks to be puling away, as is Corbett looks to be blowing away whomever the Democrat hack is for Governor. I predict baring it being Romney or some other of the Country Club Pubbie Maters of Milquetoast Obama will lose Pa in 2012. He has lost the under 50k White Demographic, not just here but just about everywhere. He goes on vacation so much because he knows by his pollsters he is gone in 2012, his ideology and base will not allow him to do what he needs to do to be reelected. The Experiment in White Guilt and Apapthy is over.

OMG, unions against Obama ....say it ain’t so.... =.=

[chichipow]

They are only out protesting because they are being hurt. They like the rest of their union botard brothers and sisters helped to vote in our current POTUS so now they reap the benefits that they bestowed upon the rest of us. Too bad for them. My heart bleeds (not).

IF this is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, something about the byline above does NOT make sense.

ANY radio/TV station beginning with “K” should be west of the Mississippi. East side of Mississippi should begin with the letter “W”.

Clarification, please?

[swpa_mom]

It is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

KDKA is the oldest commercial radio station in the country. When the K/W rule was implemented, KDKA was grandfathered in, along with a few other stations. Oddly enough, another “K” station was also located in Pittsburgh, KQV.

Sorry to seem like I’m repeating you, but other folks in the country just don’t understand what a huge thing that this happened. Pittsburgh has been 100% Democrat ruled for something like 60 years. What’s left of the unions are firmly in the pocket of government, and the libs are very active. To see this happening is both incredible and, to me at least, very positive.

I remember when Rush said that he hoped that those coal miners who voted for Obama lose their jobs...elections have consequences.

KDKA was the country’s first commercial radio station, and its call letters were created before that policy took effect.
