WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele today released the following statement concerning the executive order quietly signed by President Barack Obama on Friday ordering the use of union labor for federal construction projects:

“President Obama’s executive order will drive up the cost of government at a time when we should be doing everything possible to save taxpayer dollars. Federal contracts should go to the businesses that can offer taxpayers the best value – not just the unions who supported the Democrats’ campaigns last year. Quietly signing executive orders to payback campaign backers undermines Obama promise to change Washington. It is a disappointment for Americans hoping for more transparency and less politics as usual in Washington.”

Obama just moved from socialism to fascism. If, as appears likely, the stimulus conspiracy passes, the vast majority of american workers will have to submit to joining a union and contributing a portion of their wages to Obama's National Socialist Utopia OR be frozen out completely!

If, as F.A. Hayek famously said, socialism is "The Road to Serfdom," then Omama's version of national socialism is going to be "The taxpayer funded 8-lane Super-highway to Fascism/Communism."

And even worse - the slaves pulling the stones for our new Pharaoh's Marxist-wet-dream pyramid will be required to pay for the honor.

And all this in only the first two weeks!

Obama just moved from socialism to fascism.

More like a move from socialism to communism.

It can’t be legal. This will be struck down, in my opinion...Americans right or left will not tolerate this...big overreach...

as I recall, one must have “the mark of the beast” lest they not be able to do a heck of a lot to survive..

could this “mark” be required union membership instead of “666”??? (how I WISH this was sarcasm)

Sigh...

How does this play out in states that do not have labor unions?

He is also going to reverse Bushes Exec Order that states the E-Verify system must not be used on Federal jobs which Bush passed last June for January of this year.

[acoulterfan]

Sorry must be used!

I some times wonder about the age and mental abilities of many of the posters here. This was a standard add on to all Democrat bills when the were in charge before 1994.

The unions paid millions to get their “messiah” elected. He now has to pay them back by shoving their Commie BS down our throats.

Then why the executive order for this bill?
