Andy Stern: Union Chief Fleeing Ahead of Illinois Indictment?
Publius Forum ^ | 04/26/10 | Warner Todd Huston

Until recently, Andy Stern was the President of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), a union that has served as one of President Obama's biggest donors as well as filling the ranks of his ground troops. In a surprise move, Stern resigned his post this month and no one is really sure why at this point.

Andy Stern has been one of the closest union chiefs to a president in history. Along with SEIU treasurer Anna Burger, he was one of the most frequent visitors to the White House. He was even chosen by President Obama to serve on his Deficit Reduction Commission -- a sort of contradiction in terms that.

Upon his resignation, it has been learned that Andy Stern's leadership of the SEIU has not brought financial solvency. As F. Vincent Vernuccio reports in the Washington Times, Stern has left the SEIU in pretty shabby shape...

I hope there is fire here and the whole Obummer crew including Rambo Axelrod and company go down.

Blago would be a Hero.

So far I see no smoking gun in all of this. Zero talks to Blago about who he wants as Senator. As long as Blago or the Fed's don't have Zero on the line saying I will pay you so much, what's the big deal.

Stern quitting is more interesting in itself, but why is the question. Most union officials get caught with their hands in the pension cookie jar with loans to mobs or maybe that bank that just got taken over. Something must be close for him to quit. Did the justice Dept give him a heads up?

Too, true. He could pardon if he wanted. But I’d hope that the Kenyan’s presidency would be materially harmed along the way!

This puke is heading to be a one termer.
He will do his damage, take the money and run and blanketly pardon all the criminals surrounding him.
