Obama TOTALLY blew EFCA. The Unions spent almost 500 MILLION dollars to elect Democrats to Congress and Obama in order to pass EFCA. Had it passed, union membership would have doubled in 4 years, contributions to Democrats would have doubled in the 2012 election and the Democrats with Union money would have achieved power that they had not seen since the 1940′s.

Instead, through sheer incompetence, the Unions got NOTHING for their money. Pelosi played chicken with Reid and refused to pass EFCA until Reid acted in the Senate. Obama just sat on the sidelines trying to pass Obamacare.

The Unions got NOTHING but the shaft. How can the Union Leader’s go back to their members and say “We blew 500 MILLION dollars on these clowns?”

No wonder the Unions are upset! I am surprised they turned out the vote for Reid who did NOTHING for them but take their money! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Or as P.T. Barnum said, “there is a sucker born every minute.“

No matter how you describe it, the Union Leader’s got taken to the cleaners. The only swindle that was greater was Bernie Madoff.

2. Yup. The money would have been better spent on liberal radio.

3. As I understand it, there is no liberal radio in Ohio anymore.

The unions should support liberal radio including some programming on Pacifica.

4. Same song, different lyrics

Change the subject and the players and the story is the same. Obama, Reid and Pelosi did NOTHING and let the Republicans win.

The unions need to get tough. Forget the democrats and fund only real liberals and progressives. Support the Greens to pull the democrats leftward.
