Note to Trump: fly your jet to union HQ for a joint news conference with a massive demonstration from the union. Trump announces that this decision will be reversed one minute after he takes the oath.

To those seeing the funny characters in posts —— I cut and pasted the excerpt, but deleted their quotes and made my own. That got rid of the funny characters.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Yup. Great opportunity for The Trumpster here.

The mob/union bosses might bitch, but they will continue to support/bribe the Democrats. Been that way for a century, no reason to change it now.

Maybe it’s time the Unions wise up, get rid of their commie/thief leadership and throw in with the Republicans, who won’t force their companies overseas due to high taxes.

"We are dismayed and disgusted that the President has once again thrown the members of LIUNA, and other hard-working, blue-collar workers under the bus of his vaunted 'legacy,' while doing little or nothing to make a real difference in global climate change,"

So many contradictions, so little time.

Well, gee union guy, this is what happens when you join a party that represents groups that have mutually exclusive goals. The group with the most lobbying money wins, and it appears that group is not you...thank you for playing

Would not surprise me in a bit.

Frankly, Obama is trying to leave a mess for Trump to have to clean up.

Obama is throwing the country under the bus.

[sparklite2]

At one time, during her husband’s term of national office, wasn’t Hillary made the patron saint of the international laborer’s union? Pretty sure she was. They could throw her until the bulldozer for this.

[Biggirl]

This decision will pretty much put a final nail into the coffin of union support for the Dems.

[Biggirl]

....Or rather leaving the country in a mess for the Trump to clean up.

[vpintheak]

Welocme to the rest of the country, union!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Imagine how much worse it will be in 14 months from now.

[JimSEA]

The union workers are definitely under Obama’s bus but a lot of the rest of us are there too. The purpose of the pipeline was far beyond the jobs to be created in its construction. A major slice of America’s economic future depends in part on this pipeline. Ditto for Canada.

[jmaroneps37]

Yes but you’ll still vote Democrat anyway, won’t you union thugs?

[flaglady47]

Good. More votes by blue collar workers for Trump.

[Balding_Eagle]

This is all collusion.

Trump gave Obama a lot of money to turn down the pipeline so Trump can run on the issue.

Or,,,,,,,,,,,something like that..........

[Timber Rattler]

Suckers!

the only thing obozo hasn't thrown under the bus are muslim terrorists and he forces us to pay for their boarding tickets
