Steelworkers Union Comes Out for Obama

John Edwards's decision yesterday to fall in behind Sen. Barack Obama continued to have reverberations today with the announcement by the United Steelworkers that it is giving the senator from Illinois its endorsement.

These sweet Black kiddies would like to give white America a message about Obama!

White union lunchbox totin' men for Obama?

Someone tell the media!

They are still trying to scare the Reagan rednecks with that 'crazy preacher'!

[Old Man Charlie]

Steelworkers have seen so MANY jobs go overseas. They know Obama will fight to get the jobs back.

Did anyone remember that Simpsons episode where Homer takes Bart to a local steel mill? That was funny!

"We work hard; we play hard!"

[jimmy farter]

unions are so stupid!

the liberal dems give ILLEGAL mexicans their jobs, obama calls them foolish small town Americans, and dems have let millions of jobs leave the U.S.- remember billary signing nafta!

They get crapped on by the dumbocrats and still continue to support these idiots!!!!!

It won't matter anyway - there ain't enough union jobs left because of the dems, so it won't have any impact anyway!!!!!

Was this suppose to be a surprise? Several super delegates with ties to the United Steelworkers have already endorsed Obama (John Patrick, Leon Lynch, and Wayne Holland); Wayne Holland negotiated 117 bargaining agreements for United Steel Workers and Leon Lynch is the retired vice president currently serving on the AFL-CIO Executive council.

I suppose the next thing we'll hear is that he has been endorsed by the AFL-CIO. Lets see, they have seven members who are superdelegates - including their President, John Gagg.

Politics as usual. No Change Obama.

Wonder why they want to be out of work?

[Dismayed]

I thought they were ALREADY out of work! Do they think they steel mills are coming back with another Industrial Era? About as likely as Detroit becoming #1 in auto making again.

But I guess they can always hang on to HOPE.

More ignorance from a Bush redneck.

US Steel stock (X) is up over 1000% in this cycle.
The US steel business is strong.

Exactly... U.S. manufacturing has continued to bail with all the idiot regulations thanks to the Democrats...

Hey, stupid, the Republicans took regulation down in 1998. Worker deaths are up 236%

It's cheaper to let workers die than take common sense safety precautions, thanks to Bush and his secretary of labor.

Real family values, right?

[timeisnow]

I'm glad to see the big money backing Obama they know who will be there daddy and they had to.

We have to win, especially when the opposition is suffering from senility:

McCain Was For Talking To Hamas Before He Was Against It...
Two years ago, in an interview with James Rubin for Sky News, Sen. John McCain expressed a willingness to negotiate with the terrorist group Hamas -- the very group that McCain has been relentlessly using to smear Sen. Barack Obama over the last several weeks.

Rubin has written an op-ed in Friday's Washington Post about his exchange with McCain, and The Huffington Post has obtained exclusive video. Here's the key excerpt:

RUBIN: "Do you think that American diplomats should be operating the way they have in the past, working with the Palestinian government if Hamas is now in charge?"

McCAIN: "They're the government; sooner or later we are going to have to deal with them, one way or another, and I understand why this administration and previous administrations had such antipathy towards Hamas because of their dedication to violence and the things that they not only espouse but practice, so ... but it's a new reality in the Middle East. I think the lesson is people want security and a decent life and decent future, that they want democracy. Fatah was not giving them that."

Given that exchange, the new John McCain might say that Hamas should be rooting for the old John McCain to win the presidential election. The old John McCain, it appears, was ready to do business with a Hamas-led government, while both Clinton and Obama have said that Hamas must change its policies toward Israel and terrorism before it can have diplomatic relations with the United States.

Even if McCain had not favored doing business with Hamas two years ago, he had no business smearing Barack Obama. But given his stated position then, it is either the height of hypocrisy or a case of political amnesia for McCain to inject Hamas into the American election.

This is news?...(yawn)...

[PoeticJustice]

Barack, the magic Negro
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in Hawaiian Mist
With his mom, but no Daddy.

For Little Barack, it happened,
That Islam came to call.
And Imam's left their dull imprint
Like slogans on a wall.

Since Islam's not our friend
Barack could not be brave
So Obama found the Reverend Wright
and spent time in his cave - Oh

Barack, the magic Negro
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in Hawaiian Mist
With his mom, but no Daddy.

He got rich from Daley dealings
Rezko gave him more,
but no reason to look into this
It would be such a bore..

To his good friend Mr. Ayers,
Barack looked like fair game
And shared his humble passion
On the US which he blamed, Oh

Barack, the magic Negro
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in Hawaiian Mist
With his mom, but no Daddy.

And now we find Obama
reaching for the ring
Hamas they are sure hoping
That it soon becomes his bling

Without their Muslim friend,
Hamas would not be saved
So that Barack Obama
Needs to blame it on his slave - oh

Barack, the magic Negro
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in Hawaiian Mist
With his mom, but no Daddy.

Poetic Justice,
You are a fool.
You think we're impressed by your poem
That you copied from school.

We know you’re clueless
And have to be told what to think.
You can't think for yourself
So just try to follow this link.

http://www.DumbsheeotAnonymous.com

You’re a typical sheep
That will follow your herd.
Hope you follow them
Into a big pile of turd.

You’re covered in crap
And you’re starting to smell.
Did you just sheeot your pants?
You’re too stupid to tell.

You and McCain
Can’t control your bowels.
You’re covered in feces
You both need a towel.

So next time you feel
The need to post up some tripe.
Try changing your diaper
And using your wipes

Doesn't matter DISMAYED, I heard the Repubs have located a lost tape of MICHELLE OBAMA railing against "whitey" with Jeremiah Wright at Trinity Church.

Seems the Repubs are "hells on wheels when it comes to opposition research". They viewed tape after tape and found Michelle saying some really "mean" things about "WHITEY". Talk about hate...Sheez!!!

The Repubs are holding it for an October sneak attack surprise. I warned you guys about the Repubs...

Maybe now we will be rid of that inexperienced piece of shit novice...LET'S SEND OBAMA BACK TO THE CHICAGO PROJECTS WHERE HE BELONGS!!!

I am dedicating this post to: JAO, STUPID GRANDMOM, RIC RICHLAND, AND THE 92% NORTH CAROLINA BLACK RACISTS WITH A SPECIAL HONORABLE MENTION TO DISPORAIC BLACK MAN...LOL...and PAMIETY too...
