SEIU! SEIU! SEIU!: Obama Pledges to “Paint the Nation Purple”
by PubliusSEIU Local 880, based in Chicago, is one of the largest SEIU union locals. It was founded and has been long controlled by ACORN and Wade Rathke. This recently uncovered video shows presidential candidate Barack Obama discussing his long and close ties to SEIU. This is not your typical political pandering. This is someone who feels at home, talking to close friends and family.

Did Castro and Chavez get an invite? Chavez is running out of other people's money to give away, inflation is setting in. Chavez printing money is now clearing 30% in Venezuela.

But they said he hardly knows who those people are. Could our Cokehead-in-Chief be lying? Tell me it isn't so!
O B A M A is still working with SEIU.
One Bad A** Mistake America
Why would anyone be a fan of govt. employees? The only explanation is your either a bureaucrat or politician livin off our hard earned tax dollars, leeching off the sweat of our brows. If you depend on the govt. for your revenue of course youd be a democrat, how else are you gonna get a raise except thru a tax increase. Cant people see thru the fake egalitarianism at work here. They say there for the "people" while pickpocketing the people. These people are delusional.
Of course he does. Obama wants EVERYONE to be a part of the big ol happy union family.
But I figured he would want to paint the nation RED, seeing as how he’s a soclialist/communist and all, forcing everyone to join a union.
Kinda reminds me of Stalin in the 30’s. He forced everyone to join the collective farm…..or be shipped off to a labor camp.
With the debut of this association video, it will be interesting to see how Obie Won or the Amazing Gibbs dance around this topic.
Thugs.
But, Barry has our best interest in mind, doesn’t he? Hiding behind the label “moderate” ain’t gonna work next time, mmm mmm mmm…
Too late. Just got my annual insurance renewal for December… Premiums MORE THAN DOUBLED for next year. That's before to horrid realities of government-run healthcare even sink their teeth in!
At least Chavez has the good sense to drill his own oil, our Pres does not. We can get out of this mess in very little time if we would get back to the idea of producing oil, instead of printing money. This guy has destroyed more in 8 months than Chavez ever did in several years.
Its a political strategy that campaign managers use quite often. Politicians on both sides are coached to move to the center then if they win, they can return to their true ideology, Obama is a perfect example, so many people fell for this trick, and the acorn voter fraud didnt help. All a politician has to offer are worthless promises.
Yeah I am worried too. I am watching the train wreck and can't find anyone who has any idea on how to stop it.
It's not just government run health care that I'm worried about. That option MAY be out for now. It's insurance companies being forced to handle pre-existing. It will be a disaster, which I believe is what BO is counting on.
Perhaps triple was the wrong metric. Quintuple?
They have GOT to open up insurance over state lines AND have tort reform. This looks pretty bad.
How much more are you going to sit back America while vids like this continue to surface? How many of you will forget about this come the next election da? When are "we the people" going to start doing what the fringe media refuses to do and start digging into who these people are.
Its time to wake up America, take the red pill and see whats going on…time is coming to deal with corrupt politicians, bias fringe media and special interest groups to give them a dose of their own medicine… a "lethal" dose through savingtherepublic.com

That's the other thing. We have GOT to lose our dependence on foreign oil. That in itself is another disaster waiting to happen. I'm all for electric, solar, nuclear, wind AND domestic drilling.
Who wants to be the first one to try out that solar-powered jet? How about electric tanks and fighter jets? We need our OWN oil.
The "pre-existing" is a little strange. What about people with life long but manageable diseases? Should they not be allowed to switch jobs or insurance companies because of their pre-existing condition?
Yes of course! It may be me one day. But this plan will not work. It is simple math. We need HUGE pools of people to be able to do that. Restricting pools to people inside state lines will not work.
Purple Thugs
I first saw this on Beck. Of course our fringe MSM will ignore this. I think we need to borrow some leftist tactics and do some picketing of the networks. "TELL THE TRUTH" Perhaps we could engage in some Jesse Jackson style shake-downs. Nah! But when the blood letting begins, the coming protests will make the Tea Parties look like….well, tea parties.
Purple Rain!
Don't forget that Bambi torpedoed the hard-fought California budget agreement, threatening to cut off Federal funds unless the Assembly restored cuts that would have affected his SEIU peeps.
Just another Chicago thug.
Ever notice how at every Union gathering there is such an emphasis placed on "POWER"?
How come we have not seen federal charges brought against former Acorn employees that were fired??? Also, I'm calling on ALL SEIU members in disgust to drop their memberships. You wil have to pay your association fees, but it will loosen the grip of SEIU on employers. All they ever did was have a few meetings, and take your hard earned dollars. They don't really represent you-at first they are hard on the employers. After they get a tight grip-the employer&SEIU work together. It's a sham! They make your employer give you raises only to take that money in dues. What have you really gained???? Nothing but some loud mouth SEIU employee giving you advice.
There's no reason to waste your time picketing. Call your local car dealerships and demand that they pull advertising from the local network news affiliates – or you'll badmouth them to all your neighbors. If everyone's too lazy to pick up their phones, then oh well… Money talks, picketers walk.
You take out the rails. WE can only do this and hopefully the train will go over a cliff.
The story on ACORN going cold is disturbing to me.
The heat needs to be kept up on them
Seriously people – how hard is it to call up the local car dealers and threaten to badmouth them to all your neighbors if they don't pull their advertising from the local network affiliates? Just pick up the damn phone and make a call.
Networks don't have any power. You're allowing this crap into your life by being lazy. Stop whining and put your money where your mouth is.
The heat needs to be turned on ALL of them…………….SEIU, ACORN, and all of the 100s of ACORN's affiliates.
Good idea. But so many car dealerships are hurting or closing up shop anyway (around here). I was just fantasizing about US being part of the story again, not that they'll ever get it right.
It's all about colors. Comparavle to the Colors of the Rainbow Push Coalition. Colors and image; symbolism.
ACORN has their red tee shirts and stupid looking ball caps.
SEIU has their purple tee shirts.
The Black Panthers even have their black shirts and berets.
I wonder, if Robert Byrd showed up in a bedsheet, would people take umbrage with that?
It bothers me also. Breitbart needs to put up……….
What's with the black talk? How disingenuous, how pandering.
Obama…the hero of SEIU and ACORN! I guess I gotta get back on the phone and also send more emails. Oh, my, and I thought I'd be bored in retirement!
Hmmm — ObamAyres didn't need a teleprompter for THAT speech. Seemed to come all too naturally.
Timing is everything…..Andrew will strike when it's time
I wonder how the color purple looks on a tan face when choking on his own rhetoric?
Interesting, but how are you going to publicize this? And how are you going intending to make the clear and indissoluble link between SEIU and ACORN to the public, officially hog-tying Obama? Blog traffic must be slower after the ACORN videos were released. This video, what I would consider the most important of them all and the icing on the cake, only has 40 comments. Obviously, no one knows about this. This video is already the third or fourth blog post from the top. Are you going to drop the ball, or are you going to get Fox News to start brandishing this one too? You'd better, because if not a single mainstream media source picks this up, it's going to die, like it already has on this blog. Act fast, else you are not following the Saul Alinsky playbook very well.
Who would have thought that the POTUS is a "thug"???? I'm shocked!!!
UNION FREE AND PROUD!
P.S., If I don't see this video causing putting the Administrations nickers in a twist like the ACORN videos did, then that only means that you all are frauds not interested in the will of the people, but only interested in restoring power to a broken and corrupt Republican party that is no better than the Democrats in power now.
I don't want to vote for either party and I'm sick of voting for the lesser of two evils. The choices given us are always shite. Neither party represents Americans. Force this into the public eye to add fuel to the fire. That way the people, in their anger and disgust, will demand reform of the crappy Republican party and we can once again vote against the Democrats in good conscience.

OMG….what a nightmare just to think about that man in a bedsheet! Fugly image.
Good point, Joe!
Notice he didn't stutter "er…um…unh…uh..uhm…err.." This is one of the rare times he's been filmed telling the tru… saying what he really believes.
Exactly! I think Bar'aq al Hussein did this on purpose. OVERLOAD THE SYSTEM …. so when it breaks…. (I shudder to think).
What? SEIU ?? I didn't even know they were that big… I'm too busy going after ONE media outlet called Fox News ….
Really? The Executive branch of the government?
Say it aint so Joe
Remember tomorrow night on FRONTLINE – "Obama's War"
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/obamaswar...
I've seen more damning videos. The main problem with the last election was that McCain refused to play "dirty" (i.e. tell the truth) due to some misplaced sense of honor.
For the next election we need someone to hit him hard and hit him often with the biggest club of all – Barack's own words and actions.
You'll never get it Joe – you have your head too far up the letter D….. If you read and learn about the tea parties and this web site you will see we are for the Constitution and 'We the people" first.
If it were up to us we would throw out 90% of them….
Either Breitbart is waiting for it to cool off before letting loose, is waiting for some other event (like an election), or was misled over the contents of the other videos by O'Keefe.
that is the funny part – jsut like Beck says, they go after the network or beck but never the message ….
How about CNN Fact Check Beck? Scared?
Fact Check Mark Loyd CNN….
Fox tells the truth….and thats what the left wingers are afraid of.
Basically, Obama’s past, and indeed present, are being scrutinized and the administration doesnt like it. After all, he’s “The Chosen One”, “The God King”, and “The Savior of all Mankind” and last but not least…the title he wants the most…….”President for Life” (over MY dead body, Obama!)
The MSM doesnt know how to tell the truth, they only know how to kiss a**
This video has GOT to get out!! Next up: as Joe says, the link between disgraced ACORN and SEIU has to be driven home, and the link between they and Pretender-In-Chief. This is BIG!
Purple Reign!
With THAT attitude and abject lack of knowledge and understanding, you shall be forever doomed to having that which you do not want.
Yearning for someone/s who will fulfill your every ideal of a pol, is the surest and most certain way to be miserable for the rest of your extremely unhappy life.
Help get it out …………….send it/show it to everyone you know, even slightly !
90% out might improve things a little, I was hoping they would stay on vacation a little longer, at least while they are on vacation they are not screwing up thing any worse. O is really tired lately, I think he should take another month at Martha's vineyard. Just to think I used to be a Democrat (but don't blame me I switched before the election; I knew where we were going).
Joe this is not partisan politics this is about getting this country on the path to recovery from years of abuse from the politicians.
I HOPE that Breitbart AND the people can make a CHANGE in the year 2012.
HOPE
AND
CHANGE
Peeps I'm worried about my financial future due to the guaranteed tripling of insurance premiums and the rising taxes to pay for someone else's tripling insurance premiums. Then we will have Cap and Trade, based on the fairy tale of global warming. Groups like ACORN and SEIU are fast forwarding our financial doom.
scooterman- this particular video was played on the Glen Beck show, which is FOX NEWS. The Whitehouse hates FOX NEWS-can you imagine why? Through all of Acorn&SEIU'S issues, our "joke" for a president has not spoken one word. Why? Guilt??? Cover-up?? Put your local newspapers down-don't buy them-don't read them. Change your tv news station-your local tv stations as well. Don't watch them-it only encourages them.
And don't ever forget that it was SEIU thugs who beat up an innocent black man, minding his own business at a Town Hall meeting, sending him to a hospital, as well as another SEIU thug who bit off the finger of a 65 year old man, out side of another/different Town Hall meeting ! At a third, different Town Hall meeting, the SEIU thugs ke[t non-SEIU members locked out AND roughed up a third Town Haller.
Except for these SEIU monsters, there has NOT been any violence at any Tea Party, Town Hall meeting, nor at the march in D.C. on 9/12 !
Did you hear how Obama is going after FOX news? I hope Ailes (sp?) will not succumb to these strong arm tactics. It's really hard when you only have ONE network telling the truth.
As for "IT" dying on this blog, I don't think so. Just that there is soooooooo much news to cover besides the Acorn crap. The socialists are bombarding us on all fronts with their corruption. We are in a fox hole with missiles landing everywhere and that calls for a "chessboard" strategy.
Let's see here…..Pres. Opompous getting cozy with organized criminals….shocking!.. Really shocking!
SEIU has become the Obama goons….you protest against an Obama agenda….he buses in his thugs in purple. The trick is not to be intimidated….in reality, Obama's thugs are just a bunch of tip-toeing pansies.
[...] SEIU! SEIU! SEIU!: Obama Pledges To “Paint The Nation Purple” [...]
Purple is the new red.
I thought he was faking a southern accent…he really is lame.
Purple Haze
SEIU, just another part of Obama's "civilian security force"! The marxist-in-Chief has to have an army to do his bidding. These thugs are a perfect fit for that role!
I may have missed it, but have O'Keefe, Giles and Breitbart been served with this "lawsuit"?
This video coming to light just cracks me up. Nice way to fight back against this corrupt administration. As my grandma used to say “give em enough rope and they’ll hang themselves with it”. I’m sure “Mr Community Organizer” with an ego as large as his ears has been on lots of similiar videos. Obammy looks like the kind of guy who loves him some camera facetime. Let’s keep these videos coming folks. Nothing damns a person like his own words.
Purple and yellow are the colors of the Anti-Christ. Watch the History Channel's show on it…
This crap makes me SICK!! Why the F wont CBS or anyone air this stuff? I don't understand why they have to all be on Obama's nuts. The country is going down hill and the corruption starts in the Whitehouse!
Great blog. Thanks for the info on these guys. Please keep posting.
