EXPOSED: Obama Pledging Allegiance to SEIU


It has long been argued that the King-Maker is more powerful than the King, as America is just beginning to learn.

Indeed, the Union Label Blog has even questioned whether the SEIU’s Lavender-Lapeled Lord of Labor Andy Stern is, in fact, the hand in President Barack Obama’s puppet, citing a LA Times article that reported:

When the president met privately with the health industry leaders that day, Stern and a second Service Employees International Union official were the only labor representatives in the room.

And this

Stern can boast that union officials are scattered throughout the Obama administration. White House political director Patrick Gaspard is a former executive at an SEIU local based in New York. No other union has placed anyone at such a high level in the White House.

Anna Burger, SEIU secretary-treasurer, was appointed to Obama’s economic recovery board. And union associate counsel John Sullivan was named to the six-member Federal Election Commission.

Moreover, Stern has enjoyed considerable entree to the new administration — starting on Inauguration Day, when he joined Obama and the new president’s family on the reviewing stand outside the White House to watch the inaugural parade.

Plus this

Stern’s access is envied by some fellow union leaders. John Wilhelm, head of Unite Here, the apparel, hotel and food service union, said his perception is that Stern gets a steady stream of invitations to the White House that other union executives do not.

Well, those upstarts at Breitbart have uncovered a video that provides even more evidence that the Organizer-in-Chief gives his allegiance to the SEIU.

In this video, then-candidate Barack Obama pledges allegiance to the SEIU, stating, “I’ve been working with the SEIU before I was elected to anything” and boasting he was organizing with the Purple People Eater, the SEIU.

Watch as he finishes up by saying: “SEIU, I’m glad you’re with me. Together let’s change the country.”

2 awesome diaries in a row!

You started with a bang, didn’t you?

If this keeps up we might see Obama outta there before his first term is up.

With all this ‘smoke’ you have to wonder if there is some ‘fire’ somewhere and we just haven’t found it, yet.

We’ve been blogging about unions and EFCA for a few years now…Only a few days on RedState, though.

We also run a weekly wrap-up of labor union shorts (in “tweet” form) that we’ll start posting, as well

Thanks again for the compliment!

One can only hope! Pray he drags his pedophilia promoting “Safe Schools Czar” with him. It is time, as Jennings claimed for the schools to get back to “aggressively promoting heterosexuality”.

When Obama gets knocked down to the ground

he may stay down because he is not a heavyweight fighter.
He is a flyweight talker. Obama may soon tire of the office of president when he does not get his way. President, Nobel Prize whiner, what’s next? Queen of England?

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

Purposeful?

Was your replacement of “winner” with “whiner” purposeful, or was it an ominous slip of the finger?

Hmm, Troll I don't think you understand. -nt-

what is the difference when it comes to Obama?

I think I misspelled it and started correcting it and went -
you know what? He is the Nobel Prize whiner……
