   The Teamsters Union has been an open sewer for over 40 years. The perfect breeding ground to spawn someone like Barack Obama.

   Here’s a question. Shouldn’t the Teamsters union now have to list anything they do on behalf of Obama as in kind contributions to the Obama campaign? With the statement Jimmy Hoffa Jr. made about this is his (Obama’s) Army just waiting for orders and the fact that Jimmy Hoffa Jr. is claiming that he was talking about working to get rid of members of Congress through elections (that is his latest of what he meant by take the SOB’s out comment) it would seem that they should have to bill all those activities as campaign activities. Just wondering if anyone knows?

   I have a question regarding Hoffa’s “war on the Tea Party”. How can you declare war against a group of people who are not organized, are scattered all over the country, are made up of Conservatives, Liberals, Independents, young, old, black, white, brown, yellow, pink, purple…you get the idea. How to you fight a war against that? We are in every corner of the country. Behind every stroller, pushing every walker, running every marathon, working in every store and office. We are WE THE PEOPLE. So, Hoffa, are you really declaring WAR on the American People? And, you think you can win that war? Sorry, but you are going to end up just like your Daddy…and it won’t be by the hand of a Tea Partier. It will be by YOUR OWN union thugs. WHAT.A.SAP.

   Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor confirmed the candidate’s position in a statement to The Wall Street Journal, saying that Sen. Obama believes that the board “has run its course,” because “organized crime influence in the union has drastically declined.”

   I’m sure that the Teamsters are pretty tame compared to an administration that is actively running guns to Mexican drug dealers.

    Union leadership is, in many ways, just like the Democrat Party leadership;

    They want ever more of their supporters money.

    They are not disposed to accepting responsibility for the words or actions of their members.

    They believe in the persuasion of power, when their inept power of persuasion fails.

    They give away just enough perks the their supporters, to keep them enslaved.

    They believe in spending millions of dollars to destroy the opposition, rather than spending that money to fix a problem.

    One thing is clear to me: Labor union leadership, and the Union of Democrat Party liberal legislators, are NOT friends of “the people.” Those under their influence and control, are but useful idiots.

    Speaking of unions it looks like the UAW is pushing towards striking at Ford (the only US auto maker not to take a bailout of course). Ford may be countering on it’s own:

    US auto giant Ford has started construction on a $1 billion manufacturing and engineering complex in India as it bets on the country to help drive global growth, a company statement said on Tuesday.

    So Barky went on the attack this weekend. Who would have expected different fro Chicago corrupt thug politics. He will not change his osition. To do so would be to admit weakness and defeat. He will go down swinging to prove that he is smarter than everyone else and that his way of thinking in regards to public policy is correct.

    He has the MSM to do the brainwashing, the unions to do the thuggery and intimidation, the unspent stimulus to reward his friends, the injustice department to punish his enemies, the Hollywood crowd to gin up hatred for his opposition, community activist groups to provide food and rides to polling places in return for a vote for him, Secretaries of States in various states to protect his position even if he loses at the polls, and lots of disenfranchised blacks who will never get anything but slavery from his policies but blindly support him because of his race.

    Unfortunately, he will take us down with him and blame everyone else. Where are our leaders?

    Well I can see why Obama choose to hold his rally in Detroit instead of Chicago:

    A decision made by Gov. Pat Quinn may leave thousands of state workers without a job by the end of the week. If no cuts are made, several agencies will run out of money by spring, Quinn says.

    “We can’t spend money we don’t have,” Quinn said Tuesday.

    and the unions have their response:

    The state’s largest government employee union, AFSCME, promises to sue if the layoffs are made, much like they did over blocked pay raises.
