Another Reason Obama is Dangerous--UNIONS

Unions are responsible for much of the plight of American manufacturing, including automakers, in the nation today. At one time they served a healthy purpose. That day is no more.

But we now have a President that is as pro-Union as any U.S. President in history. The Unions heavily supported Barack Obama financially. Now they want payback, and he is certainly giving it to them.

In fact, much more dangerous to our nation’s history of free markets and individual liberty are the policies Obama’s pro-union forces are pushing.

In less than three weeks, Obama has already signed three pro-union executive orders, with another two on the way designed to steer money from his massive public sector bailout toward union firms.
