Is Obama Really for the Unions?

Is Obama really a union friend?

It is obvious to everyone that Obamahas the union members convinced that he is the guy that will "take care of them"-- - -Didn't he give them 16% of GM? Hasn't he given waivers to them to be exempt from Obamacare? Hasn't he bragged that he "is one of them?"

Haven't the unions reciprocated by donating huge amounts of money? But, how about the coal miners union? They finally woke up to realize they're out of a job because Obamaclosed the coal mines by changing the regulations, making it too expensive for the mining companies to comply! He pulled the permits for drilling in the Gulf of Mexico - - -150,000 jobs were lost with that regulation!! He wants "more time to study the effects of the Keystone Pipeline" - - - Another 1,000,000 jobs lost! Most of these jobs are "union" jobs.When will the rest of the unions realize that Obama is NOT their friend?

Just think for a moment about how he's going to destroy every one’s livelihood. Ask the people in California who farm in the richest soil in the world BUT their farms are drying up because Obama is refusing to allow water to flow into their valley - - -He's saving a small fish!!! The only things that Obamais "growing" is : unemployment, food stamps, welfare, debt, house foreclosures, - - -Oh! I forgot, he has reduced the average INCOME of the average household.Union members like firefighters, policemen, teachers, and other federal, state, and local government workers - - Do you think you're safe? If the rest of the people (private sector) stop working because companies cannot survive Obama- - -they too will join the ranks of the unemployed, welfare, etc. Now who will pay the taxes that the government needs to fund your fat retirements? Don't take my word for this - - -Just look at European (Greece) countries. Their socialist governments have now run out of money. Workers were told they can retire after 20 years (just like our police, firefighters, and teachers) - - - That means that a city has to replace one of these "retirees" with a new 21 year old, when he/she retires, the first worker is only in his/her 60's, now the second worker retires, the city replaces him/her with a third worker - - -the first one is 80+, the second is 60+, the third one now retires @ 40+ so the city hires a fourth - - -FOUR WORKERS ARE NOW BEING PAID FOR ONE JOB!!! BUT ONLY ONE IS ACTUALLY DOING THE JOB!!! All union government workers do not CREATE any wealth, therefore, no money is being taken IN - - -all is going OUT. How long before cities like those in California go broke. When they are broke, they cannot pay retirement OR any other bills. Union contracts that milked the "public servants" for great contracts are all retires themselves. Who do you go to for your retirement check? - - -The feds will be just as broke as the cities - - -Obama is already borrowing $.40 for every $1.00 he spends - - -How long do you think that can last? He has caused our credit rating to drop in just three years in office, just think what he can do in eight years!!!This is why I think the government unions should really worry about the future. They are depending on a nice fat check at an early age. If Obama continues to run the country, they may very well be on the welfare rolls like millions of others, instead of living the good life. I use government union workers as an example because private sector workers, as a rule, have no such "retirement plan", simply because a private company cannot make enough money to pay four people to do one job. So they "help" their workers by contributing to the workers retirement 401K fund. When the worker leaves, the company has no further obligation, the worker has his own plan that he takes with him. MOST private companies (unlike the auto industry) have not negotiated exorbitant contracts. They will survive, The auto industry is still in trouble simply because of the math - - -They will never be able to pay many workers to do the one job.
