I guess our fellow countrymen wanted to get rid of divided government....and turn all power over to “the one.” The great American experiment died on 11/4/08.

I notice that he piled mention of the card-check bill with every other ambition in the ‘five year plan’. First, I think he’s pumping sunshine up big labor’s ass. Second, I’m not convinced that this bill will make it through congress, or that he really even wants it to. I could be wrong, but my instinct says no.

The "Employee Free Choice Act"?

Something tells me that this is one of those things with a title totally opposite of what it actually does, kind of like "Fairness Doctrine" "Right to Choose" "People's Republic"

More Obamaspeak.

“I do not view the labor movement as part of the problem. To me, and to my administration, labor unions are a big part of the solution. We need to level the playing field for workers and the unions that represent their interests — because we cannot have a strong middle class without a strong labor movement.”

I live in a right to work state and where I work they have a union. The first problem I have is they have my home address I don't have any of the elected officials address why not? They can send me their crap information and I can't send any of them a Christmas card. I think it's Bullbutter if you know what I mean.

In a hotly contested vote to get a union into or decertify one out of a right to work state work place I can guarantee that there will be stromtrouper tactics by the unions on the non union workers.

My God, if the Senate Republicans can’t at least filibuster this piece of crap, they are worse than worthless.

He's following the socialist playbook.

Make the rich the enemy, its the "vote for me and I will take their money and give it to you".

Castro has been doing it for 50 years and Chavez has it down pat as well.

This sort of thing needs to be nipped in the bud or it becomes a real problem.

The majority of people don't pay taxes, they intend to keep it that way by voting socialist.

I do not like the unions. At one time in our history the unions stood up for the worker when abused by companies. Those days are long past. Most nonunion workers are treated fairly and wages and benefits are competitive. Now the unions serve only themselves. My dad was in the teamsters for 50 years and when he fell ill and was unable to work the union did not fulfill it's obligations. But they still wanted the dues even if he was unable to pay. Eventually he died and my mother still got statements from union indicating he was late with his dues.

If you want a good picture of what the unions will do to the industries that are not under it's iron fist look at the auto industry. Once one of the most profitable industries in the US is now owned by the unions that constantly request unreasonable contracts. The unions are mostly filled with hard working Americans but the unions are run by thugs who only care about themselves and what they can take form industry and the individual. The cost of these contracts do nothing but increase the price of goods to everyone and the quality of the product suffers as well.

When we elected Obama we drove the death nail into the heart of the country. Obama and his administration want nothing but to make things so bad that they can justify the government taking over the private sector one industry at a time until all industry is gone and everyone works for the government. I love this country with all my heart and it makes me very sad at what Obama and the Democrats are doing to the country.

As far as the stimulus and Obama budget are concerned let me say this. When you are doing you family budget and find that you are in deficit do you go to the bank and borrow more money to pay off the debt, then sign a contract that says your children will pay back all principle and interest of the new debt? When did this become the American way of life. This is what Obama and the Democrats have done with the bailouts, stimulus and budgets projecting trillions of dollars all the way out until 2019. How can we in good conscience do this to the next generation.

Capitalists and conservatives had better start punishing these people while it is still legal. Lay them off now before its too late.

Most unions could give a flying flip about their members. They would rather run a corporation into the dirt and see all of their members lose their jobs after the corporation goes bust, than give an inch. Just keep those mandatory union dues coming. Unions exist to leach off the poor slobs who just want to work and eak out a living.

“We have already started to change America on behalf of working people.”

Yeah, he sure has and not for the better. He gives card check with one hand and destroys industry with the other with cap and trade. It's incredible. How can people be so easily bought off? Don't Union members watch the news?

Boy, that ought to boost employment in the US --- NOT!

Anybody that has an operation in this country ought to close it down and leave. This is NOT a desirable country in which to do business.

Frankly, it’s probably time to bring back the gangbusters. Nothing says “you’re not welcome here” like a throng of anti-communist bruisers. Fight fire with fire.
