The President makes an 'impassioned' speech about the importance of 'labor'

[DainBramaged]

Not only (INHO) was it too little too late, it appears to be nothing more than an attempt to garner those Union dollars with hollow promises.


Call me cynical, but I don't see it any other way.

1. Yea, but labor in which country?

That's the question I'd be asking....

10. His big wig on jobs in the administration is the

CEO of GE, which just up and moved tons of jobs in high tech manufacturing of X-ray equipment to China. That sort of tells you all.

The same CEO of a company that paid ZERO income taxes.

2. Anyone can go to a labor picnic and say nice things on Labor Day. It's what they do the rest of the

3. Maybe he meant "impotence"?

7. I agree...

But if it comes down to Obama against any GOPer...I hope he gets every dollar he can.

I doubt that Obama or any of his crew EVER had to do a hard day's work. So how could they be "Experts" on anything to do with organized labor? They just want our easy money. They act like we owe it to them in return for nothing. It's a great way to get ahead, if you can get away with it, again. I think they call that "The Con"

9. Tilting their forearm at 5 PM is about as hard as it gets for them

11. Yawn.

More pretty words entirely unaccompanied by any useful action now or before the heat death of the universe. :boring:
