WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Barack Obama, Shop Steward-in-Chief. “One thing must be said of President Obama — he gives good value in return for the hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions he got from the nation’s labor movement. Unions spent an estimated $200 million electing Obama and re-electing Democratic majorities in Congress in 2008. Union officials ought to be ecstatic with Obama’s performance since then because he has delivered everything he promised the unions, and more. Obama’s largesse is all the more amazing when it is remembered that unions represent fewer than 7 percent of all private-sector workers. Fortunately for the country, Democrats in Congress don’t always share Obama’s blind fealty to the union label.”
