DETROIT (AP) -- Many assembly line autoworkers reacted with skepticism and anger Monday to the Obama administration's tough tactics, which stoked long-simmering feelings that the people who put the country on wheels get treated differently than the wizards of Wall Street.

Nothing they don’t deserve. Thank your union leaders.

If he keeps this up, I doubt he gets more than 110% of their vote in 2012.

If so, he is in big trouble.

Nice to see there are some sensible folks workin’ those assembly lines.

If any of you are lurking here, let me tell you: Hussein doesn’t give a DAMN about you or your family. Not one.

He cares about accumulating his own power and creating a nation of subjects.

If it weren’t for the unions, I would be a lot more supportive. Of course, if it weren’t for the unions, none of this would be happening.

So, the communist party treats the workers bad. It is the fallacy of communist thinkers that they will be in the party at the top - sorry - if you follow communism you are a follower, not a leader.

You at the bottom so shut-up, go to your little home of workers paradise and sing songs of your wonderful leader and the great things they provide you from their private mansions.

If he keeps this up, I really believe some MAJOR Democrat donors are going to ask for Obama’s resignation before six months are up. No doubt at all that Biden is more the speed of the fatcat Dems, whom I imagine are getting a little tired of this “experiment.”

[”To see the very people that drove this economy into the ground be rewarded through bonuses while receiving tax dollars is just galling,” said Dan Maloney, a machine repairman at auto supplier Delphi Corp.’s plant in Rochester, N.Y., and a union local president.]

The people quoted in this story are likely to get some unpleasant phone calls and mail from Obama’s hired ACORN/Working Families enforcers.

I wonder what the America Ticked-off meter is saying right now.

A little off topic but close. What I don't understand is why the unions in this country are in such a hurry to bring in a very strong central socialist government when you look at how well unions have fared under socialist governments. Unions in Russia, No. Korea, Cuba, etc are a joke. Everyone belongs to a union but big whoop. Only under a free political system does a union thrive. I have union friends that I used to work with and they are in love with Obama because he is a socialist. They seem to feel that he will protect everyone’s job, make everyone financial stable,etc. I just don't see it.

The chickens comeing home to roost.

I hope all those sobs that voted for the bastard enjoy the change he is bring to them.

Before he is through with them one change they will enjoy is the feeling of an empty stomache among other things.

I wonder how many of these losers actually voted for Barry, who’re now reaping what they helped sew.

Buyers remorse from everyday workers who kissed the union leaders rumps; they can start at home in Michigan and clean house and show us they can think for themselves instead of being mine-numb-robots doing as instructed by the DemonCrats

Wait until Government Motors needs to produce Gore Sedan for hard foreign currency. Those workers will be chained to the machines, crap in buckets and eat with grease caked hands those dirty capitalist running dogs!
