Swing Voters Turning Away From Unions And Obama
Topics: Political News and commentariesThe Obama administration and their fellow Democrats in Congress may be big fans of unions (who poured $400 million into the 2008 election campaign in the Dems' behalf), but swing voters are not so enamored with them:
[...] Unions have had few better friends than Mr. Obama. One of his first acts as president was to stiff Chrysler's bondholders to provide a windfall to the United Auto Workers. His National Labor Relations Board stretches the law to load the dice for unions.I've been wondering how long it would take for more of the American public to wake up to the never-ending cycle of Dems' and the labor unions' "pay for play" scheme and the job-killing, economy-destroying effects that result from it ... and then say enough is enough.[...] President Obama is polling in Jimmy Carter territory. Unions are less popular now than in many decades. Mutual weakness will draw Democrats and unions closer, despite labor's discontents. But the closer to each other they get, the more swing voters will recoil from both.
