Joe Biden update: He meets with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka to talk about secret stuf
Los Angeles Times ^ | February 24. 2011 | ANDREW MALCOLM

Posted on 02/24/2011 10:15:25 AM PST by opentalk

Public schedule of Vice President Joe Biden for Thursday, Feb. 24:

At 10:45 AM, the Vice President and Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis will meet with President of the AFL-CIO Richard Trumka and with presidents of AFL-CIO labor organizations.

Whatever do you suppose they're plotting inside this transparent Obama administration White House?

Well, we'll never know. Because this meeting of an elected federal official with top labor union officers is closed to press.

Then there are the meetings with lobbyists held just off the executive office grounds to avoid reporting them in White House logs. You are dismissed.

Probably pretty much what we’d suspect they’re doing. Yukking it up over plans to undermine the action of GOP dominated states that want to scale back union clout in government. Think of any dirty trick, and it’s probably on the table there.

Ever notice that when a Chinese restaurant has a statue of Buddha, the Buddha is always happily plump? (The actual Gautama Buddha was probably an austere, spartan figure.)

They are working out the details on how to pass legislation that is in the public interest (e.g., the “Anti-Dog-Eat-Dog Rule”, and “The Equalization of Opportunity Bill”).

When Trumka shows us to lead a union strike rally at a WV coal mine, PEOPLE DIE.

And most of the people who voted for this guy continues to worship at his feet. For some reason they just can’t see the lies. Apparently they have very weak minds and were brainwashed by facebook.

Where's the outrage at the Vice President's private meetings?

Everyone was so worked up about Dick Cheney's meetings with oil company execs.

How about a little openness.

I can't believe this material unkind to the Obama Administration is being published in an LAT blog.

Who is this Andrew Malcolm?
