I think it was Saul Alinsky that said that “the ends justify the means.” Betrayal is a bitter pill that is disastrously felt only after it is swallowed.

Leaders of two major unions, including the first to endorse Obama in 2008, said they have been betrayed by an administration that wooed their support for the 2009 legislation with promises to later address the peculiar needs of union-negotiated insurance plans that cover millions of workers.

Well, screw you, labor union officials. You all screwed the rest of us pretty good trying to work out your own sweetheart deal. I hope it hurts.

Shut up, you union slugs. You’ll roll out to the polls and vote straight Democrat as all minorities do. You’re on the Big Government Plantation, and your masters aren’t at all threatened by your occasional whimpering.

Obama has disdain for everyone. It’s only a matter of time before he gets around to offending everyone.

These labor union leaders need to comprehend that they have sold out their fellow Americans for a few lousy shekels. The betrayal they now complain of is of no concern to me.

First he betrayed Conservatives.
Then he betrayed the wing-nut Leftists.
Then he betrayed other fringe Leftists, he thought didn’t
count.
All the while he was betraying Blacks.
Then he started betraying the Unions.
Then his programs were so bad, they started to hurt the party, another betrayal of sorts.
Now he has betrayed the labor unions.
One can only wonder what other betrayals will be just over the horizon for Bath-house Barry. It could get very ugly.
When the Left has had enough of this dumb ass, they’ll be dropping the dime on him. The Right will be able to step back and get out of the way.

Indeed, you are correct. My daughter is writing an essay this weekend on Orwell’s use of betrayal in his novel Animal Farm
.perhaps the union bosses should reread this little ditty.

This may not be a bluff. It just may mean that union members
will only commit to voting for Democrat candidates only one
time instead of 2-3 this campaign cycle.

“Union Official” are just covering their butts because they sold the Obamacare lemon to their members. which is not to say that the officials didn’t know it was a lemon all along.

Will these unions call for the repeal of Obamacare? If no to both, then these unions are mere puppets of the Democratic Party and their words are meaningless.

They signed a contract with the Devil and didn't read the fine print.
