No. Per Obama, he ran it into a ditch. At least it wasn't Ditchaquidick.

Gov Haley of SC demands an answer from the thug in chief.

Nikki Haley: Obama's Silence on Boeing Is Unacceptable - WSJ.com

Quote:
While silence in this case can be assumed to mean consent, President Obama's silence is not acceptable—not to me, and certainly not to the millions of South Carolinians who are rightly aghast at the thought of the greatest economic development success our state has seen in decades being ripped away by federal bureaucrats who appear to be little more than union puppets.

If they get away with this government-dictated economic larceny, the unions won't stop in our state.

The nation deserves an explanation as to why the president's appointees are doing the machinist union's dirty work on the backs of the businesses and workers of South Carolina.
The unions are a scourge on this country. They are only interested in retaining control and power over taxpayers and business. They are not at all interested in fair play and competition. Their time is way past an end.

THIS is absolutely DISGUSTING!!!

Welcome to Obama's United Socialist States of America - USSA,the Obama dream realized!

The 'deceiver in office' is making fundamental changes to our Country and Constitution, if left unchecked, the damage will be irrepairable! 2012 cannot come soon enough!

The deceiver in office should be lead away in handcuffs for what he has done and IS doing to this country!

I am quite flabbergasted by this move. Actually suing a company to make them move from a right to work state back to one with a union. Talk about government interference!
I think they call it tyranny.

Your real freedom is to accept the job or to go elsewhere.

A good portion of union/business relationships are contractual.
There are some professions where the only game in town is unionized. There are no other options. There's no choice; no freedom to choose whether you want to be pay union fees or not. You just do.

Yes, so basically the unions used the NLRB, with their blessing, as leverage for a new contract. How can anyone see that and not believe that the NLRB is completely and totally corrupt? I see a dangerous trend here. Unions not getting what they want? Just have the NLRB sue the company.
