AUBURNJAC 53 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 President Obama quietly signs Pro-Union Executive Order February 9, 2009 While everyone is talking about the pork laden stimulus that Obama and many Democrats in Congress are pushing, President Obama very quietly signed a pro union executive order on Friday. It ordered the use of union labor for federal construction projects. This is one of the most blatant payoffs I have ever seen. Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has made the following statement. "President Obama's executive order will drive up the cost of government at a time when we should be doing everything possible to save taxpayer dollars. Federal contracts should go to the businesses that can offer taxpayers the best value - not just the unions who supported the Democrats' campaigns last year.Quietly signing executive orders to payback campaign backers undermines Obama promise to change Washington. It is a disappointment for Americans hoping for more transparency and less politics as usual in Washington." I would have to agree with everything the chairman said. It is nothing less than a payoff to the unions who supported his campaign with both money and troops. And the fact that it was done with no media coverage shows that he once again is trying to slip one by Americans, which is anything but transparent. http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office...uctionProjects/ Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/56569-explain-this-obama-worshipers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

" So if construction workers don't want to join a union, they can just,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, not work. Is that the way this is? Is that what he intended? Obama's stimulus: "We will stimulate those who stimulated our campaign!" No Hope for Change here, Business as usual in Washington D.C.
