Wow! American labor unions sure are up in arms over Obama appointing Sylvia Mathews Burwell

There were so many angry press releases and press conferences from labor leaders yesterday. I guess that next comes the rallies and even a march on DC to protest this outrage.

The only people up in arms about Obama's appointments are the right-wingers that get upset because the President did something in his job description.

Also upset: The same annoying lefty armchair faux intellectuals and keyboard warriors that are always upset because the President did something in his job description.
