Exactly. The labor union leaders lied to their “ bothers and sisters” when they told them how great ObamaCare was going to be and hoped no one would notice.

A perfect storm brewing for a wipeout of Democrats in the mid-terms and the idiot RINO’s are playing with amnesty instead.

[ 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. ]

Danger Danger Will Robinson!!!!

The left when they tire of him will make a Martyr out of him one way or another....

Like JFK, RFK, etc etc....

Pray for the President’s Safety!

When Leftists “Drop the Dime on Someone” They play for permanent keeps.

I would rather Obama die of old age or something he picked up at the Chicago Bathouse than for some disgruntled leftists to cause an early demise.

First the Media would spin him into a Martyr and Second they would use it as an excuse to take away even more of your rights and advance the socialist agenda.

I agree. I never advocate or express a desire to see a Leftist cut down. They would be an instant Kennedy or a King, and would never be seen for who they really were.

If it looks like I’ve advocated for such, it was because I was intemperate. I don’t want it for a second.

Unions have been a major source of funding and ground-level efforts on behalf of Democratic candidates. “You can’t just order people to do stuff,” Taylor said. “If their health plan gets wrecked, why would they then go campaign for the folks responsible for wrecking their health care?”

Unions pushed for Obamacare because they thought it wouldn't be FORCED on them. They didn't care if they were sticking it to the rest of Americans. Also unions only back one party so they really don't have any leverage. My guess is they'll go crawling back to democrats...

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.

Good for your daughter...
