He sure does like to cozy up to with shady people and organizations. Tony Rezko, A church that adamently praises Louis Farakhan, and now the SEIU. At what point does he not start to become just a little bit guilty by association?
Democracy Now! | SEIU Members Face Off in Dispute Over Leadership, Direction of One of Nation's Largest Unions
"Rosselli wrote: “Over the past two years, a stark difference has evolved between SEIU’s projected image and its real world practices. An overly zealous focus on growth–growth at any cost–apparently has eclipsed SEIU’s commitment to its members.” Rosselli went on to write, “It is said democracy dies in darkness. It is with deep disappointment and great concern that I have watched dark shadows fall upon SEIU, diminishing our hopes for revitalizing the labor movement.”
Resignation Letter of UHW President Sal Rosselli from the SEIU Executive Committee : Indybay
Kinda sounds like Obama's campaign: Sounds great from the Pulpit, but how will he REALLY govern in the real world if elected?

Give me a break. Your real problem is that they endorsed Obama over Clinton and it should have a positive impact for Obama in the upcoming primaries.

Yet, All we hear from the MSM is how GREAT the SEIU's endorsment is when they are, by all accounts, absolutely CORRUPT. |

No, my "problem" is that they are corrupt and have been the subject of numerous federal investigations. Maybe now's a good time to start looking at Obama a little more closely. |

Why do I get the distinct impression that if the SEIU had endorsed Hillary you wouldn't even have started this thread. |

That is an irrelevent argument. The fact is, they are indeed corrupt, and have endosred Obama and he's happy to have them. |

SEIU is one of the nation's largest labor unions. He's not "cozying up to them"
He's recveiving an endorsement. From a labor union.
And as for the fact that they've donated 96% to Democrats....
IT'S A LABOR UNION!!!!!!! They back dems. It's nothing new.
I swear you'd post anything to denigrate Obama.

But if we dig too deeply into the shallow life of Obama, it may upset his cult followers and shake their belief that he is the leader, the one, their God.
Didn't Obama create the world in 7 days? On know, that was God.
Didn't Obama rise from the grave? No, that was Jesus.
Didn't Obama wave his magical hand and put a rainbow in the sky? Oh no, that would be Mother Nature. |

It's not irrelevant at all. Because if they had endorsed Hillary she would have welcomed it, and you wouldn't have said a word. Making your attacks on Obama hypocritical. |
