Obama Drops A Veto Bomb On GOP By Threatening To Veto Every Bill That Uses Sequester Cuts

[Plucketeer]

48. "President Obama on Tuesday vetoed a Republican effort to overturn controversial union voting rules"

Yeah, and he's got another pen that he's chomping to flow ink from - it's the pen to sign off on the TPP. A measure that could EASILY cut the legs out from a lot of what's left of union labor in this country. Remember - this is a president who retained a bunch of the previous administration's advisors rather than select fresh faces from the party it professed to be acquainted with.
This is a giant chess game. Moves that look fair to those who can only see one move at a time, prove to be devastating, three, four, ten moves ahead. I would not be surprised to come to find that this bill and veto weren't a staged event - one with the Rethugs "in on it" - to placate union leaders into trusting Obama's "reasoning" for the TPP. When he keeps something securely under wraps - something that's supposed to be a BOON to us peons - only letting the corporate interests who wrote it - SEE it....... You can bet there's a BIG shaft in our future.

Edit to add: It'll be the American people that have to "pony up" after the TPP sells us out.
