Just months into the Obama Administration, a friend who does support contract work (GM before the quasi chapter 11) told me story that had me shocked. I quipped I can't believe these union types still support him. His response was what $^$^$ are you talking about. I go to the plants and talk to them, they are livid in fact they are so livid they now make fun of him.
If you get that, that means they have lost all respect for him, that is huge for these blue collar guys and gals, and that was over a year ago now....
