Angry Unions Sever Ties With Democrats, Obama

Specifically, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka told reporters that the nation’s largest labor federation will scale back their involvement with the Democratic Party in advance of the 2012 elections.

In 2008, unions spent over $400 million for Obama's election. Asked if the AFL’s move is a huge blow to Obama, Democratic pollster Doug Schoen told Newsmax.TV: “Absolutely. Obama needs to get labor back and I think he’ll be courting them furiously in the weeks and months to come."

The unions are going to vote Democrat- Obama knows this.

They have nowhere to go. They may not give as much money to Obama- and why should they? But make no mistake, he already has their votes.

A socialist is a unions best friend.

The union heads may not vote Republican, but some of the rank and file will.
Will it be enough to elect a new President?

They have a feeling the Dems are going to get their asses handed to them and are just hedging their bets (but will stil voye for Dems and Obama). Hopefully the union scumbag bosses will lose lots of sleep as Nov 2012 gets closer. rofllol

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
