Obama is a typical leftist radical. His behavior here demonstrates that. Leftists don’t believe in the old ways of exercising democracy, like the secret ballot. They prefer their authoritarian approach. I heard them say the same thing 35 years ago, when they were just campus radicals.
Urgh. I hope America sees through this phony soon.
Nothing strikes more fear into union thugs than the threat of a secret ballot on the choice of whether to allow a union to negotiate or not.
DemoncRATS are behind this issue solely on basis of the additional funds union bosses, not the members, can pump into their re-elction campaigns.
He has got the Nomination at the DNC by acclamation...
Reminds something?No elections,NO DEMOCRACY,NO FREEDOM....
NOBAMA !
I would have to agree with obama.. Democracy is MOB RULE by mobsters and creates socialism.. Fortunatly America is a Republic.. not a demmocrat-republic but a Constitutional Republic.. Democracy is a BAD WORD.. and most of Europe and other parts of the world is cursed with it.. When hearing the word DEMOCRACY Americans should spit on the ground.. it is a nasty thing.. The AMerican constitution DOES NOT have the words democracy or democratic ANYWHERE within it.. BY DESIGN.. You know ON PURPOSE...
any copies of the actual letter ?
obama has never earned an honest dime in his life. Wait til the companies decide to get along with out union workers..or will they force the company to hire union workers>
A “caucus” is sort of a democracy, but it looks to find consensus, not promote debate or poll attitudes accurately. And that is what a union election would become, a caucus used to bully the reluctant into submission to the will of the majority, or at least the dominant faction. Those voting against the union proposals favored by the union chiefs would stand isolated and subject to the ridicule and derision of the dominant power within the union circle.
Intimidation works. At least for a while, then the peasants revolt, carrying torches and pitchforks.
Actually overheard the $1000 statement in a restaurant
Obama is a trained and certified Junior Community Activist. Agitation is what he knows.
Effort to eliminate the secret ballots in union elections is becoming a common move here in CA as well. Look for it happening in your own states!
