» Obama: ‘I’ll Join Union Picket Lines’

bashley - February 25th, 2011 at 7:17 am

In his own words Obama is nothing more than a community activist that has no clue what so ever on how to bring a nation together, only how to divide. He hasn't an ounce of leadership ability.

General_Napier - February 25th, 2011 at 7:20 am

That's one public employee strike I could support. The less work this guy does, the better.

Dave_in_Ok - February 25th, 2011 at 7:21 am

Well he, just like the terrorists, told us who he is. But still the country slept and he was elected. Wake the F up!!!

RLowVA - February 25th, 2011 at 7:22 am

Obama = civil division.

Cali4niaPatriot - February 25th, 2011 at 7:23 am

Reminds me of Robin Hood Men in Tights…

Excuse me, bad guys.
I am running out of air.
Gotta get pumped.
Okay, honkies. Time in!

CogWheeler - February 25th, 2011 at 7:23 am

Obama isn't going to join a picket line of Public Sector Unions and get crushed by Private Sector Votes. The fiscally smartest, most competitive, thing the Democrats could do is betray the public sector unions.

Now, that is what I would call a step to the middle. Collective bargaining has no place in government.

LabsGuy - February 25th, 2011 at 7:25 am

The war on taxpayers, via the public sector unions, are directly correlated to the extortive techniques and brass knuckle collection methods of the mafia AND the government tax collection process. If you didn’t see the movie “Goodfellas” this is a paraphrased rendition of the character Henry Hill talking about what happens when you get in bed with the “boss”

You got laid off? F you, pay me. Can’t feed your family? F you, pay me. Can’t pay your mortgage? F you, pay me. Need gas in your car to find work? F you, pay me. Child in the hospital? F you, pay me. Elderly parents need help? F you, pay me.

This list goes on and on in a virtual endless circle. Will the Taxpaying Citizens of the United States continue to tolerate this? Supposedly, they are your “friends and neighbors” (Obama quote) yet since when does your friend and neighbor treat you like this?
Only in “Progressive Marxist” America will your so-called friends and neighbors take such a large dump on your head and expect WE the Taxpaying Citizens to pay all of their bills for LIFE!

GeneWo - February 25th, 2011 at 7:25 am

Just a commie!

StanH - February 25th, 2011 at 7:26 am

Of coarse he would, what do you expect him to work?

Check out an article at, American Thinker “Meeting Young Obama,” by: John Drew. It only confirms what we knew about Barry’s love of Marxism, and don’t you know that McCain’s Opposition Research team picked this up, and why wasn’t it used? This also tells us what we need to know about collusion in the press, and punctuates Barry’s comment, “I’m the one you’ve been waiting for.”

SigFan - February 25th, 2011 at 7:28 am

While he is too much of a self-serving coward to actually get out there on the lines you know that he is absolutely on their side. The left needs organized big labor to perpetuate their money machine and to be their bully-boys when anyone has the gall to call them on their corruption and socialist BS. Obama is little more than a union thug himself and he will drive this nation into bankruptcy or revolt.

Mikeyh0 - February 25th, 2011 at 7:30 am

The clip wasn't too long; I didn't puke out my bagel. I would love to see him and his entourage come flying in to participate in this melee. If teachers were actually in the private sector – you just have to love how everything in this country is in its own distinct category and kept separate from the rest – and fighting some evil troll of a capitalist who is enslaving them at peasant wages, well, that would be a completely different story. But these guys – it's too hard to keep calling them "teachers' – are demanding more of the taxpayers of America while we are drowning in debt. It's like the brother-in-law who has slept on the couch for six months, while he finds himself, now demanding that you mortgage your home to buy him a brand new car while you are driving a Ford Escort. Time to throw the bum out.

Whats_Up - February 25th, 2011 at 7:30 am

Ahhh, yes, Mr. Transparent Uniter – the ever O-FU one …such a busy, busy Man-Child.

Malachi42 - February 25th, 2011 at 7:34 am

Obama on strike, best news in months, there's plenty of time to improve his follow through when he goes to work so he can rest on the golf course, where will Michelle and entourage be wintering.

BeeAtopThistle - February 25th, 2011 at 7:34 am

But when is he going to join the picket lines? He's so busy throwing parties for Non-Motowners, going to Vaile, Date Night with the Last Lady, violating the Constitution, going on Late Shows, bowing and scraping to Tyranny, etc., etc. Come on, I mean the guy's so busy maybe he shouldn't go to the picket lines, maybe he should vacation instead.

aharris - February 25th, 2011 at 7:36 am

What and give up there tax laundering money machines?

Majiic12 - February 25th, 2011 at 7:37 am

0bama may not physically join in but he will most certainly orchestrate and facilitate picketing from behind the scenes.

Stan522 - February 25th, 2011 at 7:50 am

A commie Pinko Marxist in a nice suit…..

We all know what side of his "bread has butter on".

The sad part is that America voted for this turd. A lot of disappointed people today because of it.

MusicCityDawg - February 25th, 2011 at 7:52 am

So the President says he's going to go on strike?

Yeah, that will really bring the country together. <rolleyes>

mikegino - February 25th, 2011 at 7:53 am

Is he a community organizer or a communist agitator? Is his real name Franklin Marshall Davis Junior?

ActinUpinTexas - February 25th, 2011 at 7:53 am

Evil is as Evil does!

Pray…… that his rein of terror ends soon.

Bullonay - February 25th, 2011 at 7:56 am

Well he WOULD have joined the picket line, but he had to coach his daughter's basketball game…and he just had to host another fundraiser in the East room…

pazzi - February 25th, 2011 at 7:56 am

He'll vote present once more.

pazzi - February 25th, 2011 at 8:00 am

Trumpka said so, he talks to the white house every day and goes there a couple of times a week. What more do we need, we have the truth.

sepepper - February 25th, 2011 at 8:01 am

community activist = rent-a-mob manager

pazzi - February 25th, 2011 at 8:01 am

I would love for him to go on strike, may be some of the adults might get some real work done.

sepepper - February 25th, 2011 at 8:02 am

What a uniter! NOT…….

jemsec - February 25th, 2011 at 8:07 am

Well, isn't he just stupid.

Army Vet 79_81 - February 25th, 2011 at 8:10 am

A picket line would be the appropriate role for this guy rather than standing in the White House, how the hell did he pull the wool over so many peoples eyes?? He doesn't have a shred of credibility and has torn down the country and the libs still follow him…

Wesley69 - February 25th, 2011 at 8:20 am

I'm surprised Obama is not going to do this. He has demeaned the office of President in so many ways already. If the country can survive his Presidency, I wonder how historians will explain the disasterous choice WE THE PEOPLE made in 2008??

cruzin77 - February 25th, 2011 at 8:20 am

Of course you know Comrade will send a "stimulated" worker to do his bidding and will be there in spirit.

NutsnBolts - February 25th, 2011 at 8:21 am

aka shakedown artist aka protection racketeer.

BeeAtopThistle - February 25th, 2011 at 8:26 am

Do you mean Clinton stimulated or…?

NutsnBolts - February 25th, 2011 at 8:26 am

McLame didn't want to win, he wanted to be "part of history". He was the Democrats choice for our candidate.

Keltic1 - February 25th, 2011 at 8:26 am

He threw that "Uncle" Rev Wrong under the bus. I see a pattern here in the gimme crowd mentality. In order to advance your ego & power, preach love & fellowship of man; then throw anyone or any Union under the bus to get what you want or keep the power you have.

NutsnBolts - February 25th, 2011 at 8:28 am

He didn't do it on his own.

Nightfly24 - February 25th, 2011 at 8:37 am

Obama: "Worker's deserve to know someone's standing in their corner"

Obviously he just means union workers. He doesn't care about the rest of us who have to pay for their inflated wages and golden benefits.

If he's true to his word he should get those comfortable shoes out and join his fellow socialists in Wisconsin.
Of course, when has he ever been true to his word?

IMPEACH NOW!!!

Nightfly24 - February 25th, 2011 at 8:39 am

Wasn't it Biden that called him "clean and articulate" early in the presidential campaign?

cruzin77 - February 25th, 2011 at 8:46 am

Nah, I meant a non union $10.00 an hour, no benefits sclub the unions get to walk the picket lines.

ReaderRedux - February 25th, 2011 at 8:50 am

. . . didn't he also write that he'd stand with muslims?

TexasStomp - February 25th, 2011 at 8:51 am

Whoooooo DOGGIES LOOK WHAT DAILY KOS JUST EMAILED ME

——————————————————

The epic fight put up by the protesters in Wisconsin has given us an opportunity. With so many people across the country inspired by the courage of the "cheddar rebellion," we now have a chance build a national movement for a new economy that actually works for everyone.

On Saturday at noon, led by unions and the netroots, an enormous coalition of progressive groups are co-sponsoring rallies in all 50 state capitols and many other large cities. The rallies are a show of solidarity with the fights for workers' rights in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and elsewhere. Tens of thousands of people have already signed up, and you can join them by clicking here.

This is an existential fight for unions and the middle class, as Republicans push to make it illegal for workers to collectively negotiate wages and benefits with their employers. They want all workplaces to become dictatorships.

Not only can we beat back this attempt to strip workers of their rights, but the energy we are tapping can move the political center of gravity away from Wall Street's black hole. The time to start making this happen is on Saturday at noon, in a town near you.

Sign up to attend a rally, and be there for the birth of a new movement.

In solidarity,
Chris Bowers
Campaign Director, Daily Kos

He needs to join the unemployment line.

Syrin23 - February 25th, 2011 at 8:54 am

Don't include me in that "We the people". This is THEIR president, THEIR doing, not mine. I have actively fought these bastards. Their indoctrination of our youth paid big dividends in 2006 and 2008.

Stan522 - February 25th, 2011 at 8:54 am

Insinuating that for a black man he comes off pretty good….

Biden is a racist and the left sits silent on this because he's one of "them"

rld77 - February 25th, 2011 at 8:58 am

Dumb and Dumber.

Wesley69 - February 25th, 2011 at 9:01 am

I knew about Obama during the campaign and was amazed that questions that are usually asked of candidates, were not asked of him. For our highest reponsibility in the country, Obama was given a pass. I hoped that his true background was just to advance his own career, but as time when on and one could see the radical leftist policies, it was time to start speaking out by way of this blog and others.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

billyrayband - February 25th, 2011 at 9:02 am

So would that mean if Obama pickets, it would be a wildcat strike against the citizens of america and Congress would have the authority to fire Obama?

CogWheeler - February 25th, 2011 at 9:02 am

I'd say doing nothing is the closest thing to not interfering. What he should do is watch and learn what it means to balance a budget, as our states must.

OldmanRick - February 25th, 2011 at 9:15 am

BO is a small community agitator who blows smoke only. He can talk the talk, but he can't walk the walk. Now that his goons in spin city east see that his useful idiots might lose the fight in WI, he is so trying to distance himself from the chaos he has initiated since it might affect his chances for reelection and another four years of free room and board and all those other perks, especially the big airplane, golf, parties, and vacations at taxpayer expense.

Guess the poser has been a little busy lately or something.

Lamdog - February 25th, 2011 at 9:52 am

The Chief Executive who chooses which laws to enforce and not enforce. I am shocked yes shocked he would join union protester.

Obamaphobic - February 25th, 2011 at 10:03 am

Obama will join the picket lines and then the rest of us will join the bread lines.

mugiwara - February 25th, 2011 at 10:07 am

Seriously, phuck this divisive pos.

The smartest thing the Democrats could do is begin impeachment precedings themselves.

BANISH THE UNION ‘GOONS’ – IS YOUR STATE “RIGHT TO WORK”? – http://www.nrtw.org/rtws.htm
~~~
PART I –

Yet another reason why the Chameleon N' Chief…aka the Liar N' Chief…aka the PUPPET of the Bilderberg…Obama the Bush and his union 'goons' need to go…they are in bed together!

When…America…in the history of our great nation has a President of the United States of America taken sides of one sector of America against another?

He was elected to represent 'all of the people and not take sides over one or the other. It has never, ever happened until the Chameleon N' Chief came to power and now we are all suffering for the mistake that was made when he was elected.

Eileen for Freedom - February 25th, 2011 at 11:30 am

PART II –

All of this confusion…all of this debt…all of this division is the cause and affect from one man…the one that over half of this nation stupidly elected to sit in the highest office in our land! A nation of the deaf, dumb and blind that wanted a 'savior' not a President! A nation that wanted someone to 'remove' all their problems…and instead he has created all of their problems!

Have you had enough of the truths to convince you…America…that you made a mistake? If you have had enough like the rest of 'real' America…join with us in fighting back. Stand up and speak out…anyway and every way you can on a daily basis!

Eileen for Freedom - February 25th, 2011 at 11:30 am

PART III –

Never, ever give in and never, ever give up! He started this war against the average taxpayer…and we the average taxpayers have to make it right! We will win this war one battle at a time…but the victory in the war with be ours…when we take back our government and throw all the 'loons' and their 'goons' out of power once and for all!

I know this comment is buried way down the list, but…
I read today that President Bush opted out of sharing a Conference on leadership when he found out Assange would be there. Bush said that he would not share a stage with a person that has done so much harm to America.

Obama wants to share the stage with anti American unions. Obama shares the stage with American hating Islamic leaders. Obama shares the stage with Chavez, an American hater. Obama shares the stage with Hu, and has the band play an anti American song. Obama tours the world and apologizes for America.
Bush says I won't do it.

Good Lord, don't you miss having a real leader?

dest4mex - February 25th, 2011 at 10:29 pm

He would have but he was too busy partying on Motown!
