What you say may be technically true, but Daschle's "pro-strike" comments, cited in another reply, certainly makes it look as if he thinks the Union's on strike. Whether it's a strike or a lock-out, however, is irrelevant: the two sides are at loggerheads, there is a perceptible impact on the economy (even Teamster/trucker Union Brothers and Sisters are being impacted), so something should be done. The President won't avoid Democrat criticism if he sits on the sidelines, so he might as well use the Democrat-created tools for dealing with these disputes.

Everyone keeps looking at the wrong issue...I have posted that info (#19) about Daschle on several threads and no one yet has expressed outrage that it exposes that the Dems are behind the foot-dragging by the union to accept an offer in an effort to disrupt the economy further so they can blame Bush.
