CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- (TheStreet) -- Bill Wise is an influential labor leader in the Carolinas, president of a Charlotte local that represents 2,000 US Airways (LCC_) workers, and a committed Barack Obama voter in the coming presidential election.
Yet Wise wants nothing at all to do with the Democratic National Convention that begins Sept. 3 in Charlotte.

Ahhh the freaken unionista got his feelings hurt.
Maybe it is because Obamas team bussed in the labor.
If the unions had their way, there would still be buggy whip companies and the unionized employees would all have swimming pools in their backyards.
There will be an offer he can’t refuse. He’ll be there with his goons.
There is a parallel between the union rank and file and their leadership and the rest of the American people and thier leadership. We are tired of being used, lied to and bullsh##ted. The commie takeover needs ot be squashed
