Labor has 'snootful' but will stick with Obama

[Washington Examiner]

"Don't any of you guys vote Republican," Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
said to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters convention in Las Vegas last week. "Let me put it this way: Don't come to me if you do. You're on your own, Jack!"

Biden's warning, which received virtually no coverage in the press, is part of the Obama re-election campaign's 2012 strategy for organized labor. It's a two-part plan. One, use the president's executive powers to give labor all sorts of advantages that can't be achieved through legislation. And two, when labor leaders complain that they haven't gotten everything they want, tell them they have nowhere else to go.

#1 Which accomplishes what exactly as per the Teamsters, AFL-CIO interests + "Globalism"???

* ION PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > THE US + EUROPE SINK TOGETHER.

* TOPIX > PEAK DEBT? THE US, EURO DEBT CRISIS IS GLOBAL.

More similarities than differences ..
> Massive Sovereign Debt which is increasing, not decreasing.
> Weak economies.
> Militant or manic desire above all else to protect National Welfare Systems = Welfare-Nanny State.
> Anti-Reform Political Establishments.
> Fear of the Future, i.e. one that is not guaranteed or absolutely certain.

IOW, COST-PROHIBITIVE MICRO/NANO-MANAGEMENT BY GOVT. WHICH ONLY ADDS TO EXPANDING ECON, BUDGET WOES.

> Seemingly perennial or permanent Political Gridlock.

IIUC, NATIONAL OR UNIVERSAL "INNOVATION" + "PROGRESS", ETC. WILL OCCUR ONLY IFF GOVTS-POLITICOS ARE CERTAIN THE STATUS QUO WILL NOT BE CHANGED OR COMPROMISED???

Well there ya go!

* WAFF > THE NEXT TWENTY YEARS WILL BE INTERESTING.

Yeeeeuuuuuppp - Global Warming, Global Econ Collapse = Protractive Lack of Debt Recovery, Peak Everything, ......@etc.

#4 "Fear of the Future, i.e. one that is not guaranteed or absolutely certain"

The sole reason 99.9999% of people who are in unions and/or the public sector take union or public sector jobs, Joe.

#7 Usually the donks are involved in class warfare except when it's election time; then open fishing for votes is in season and requires no license. Promises will be plentiful; later, delivery on promises will be scarce. It wasn't too long ago Obumble was slamming Las Vegas and advising people not to spend their money there.
