Obama needs to make amends to the Labor and ethnic communities. These two are the reasons we got our asses handed to us. Tons of Union folks were short shifted by the lack of support from Mr. Obama. Notice not much in the form of Phone Banking or Door to Door boots on the ground game,we see the results. As many as thirty thousand plus SEIU folks here in Clark County said screw this and shut it down. The other biggee was the Immigration Bill,lots of disruption to families and of course mighty pissed off people. It's put up or shut up time with many in the Labor Movement.
