This guy is Richard Trumka and he has a whole lot of influence on a whole lot of union workers and has earned his ability to talk to Obama a couple of times a week. He doesn't know me but has called me a racist in this speech so I see even more collusion between him and Obama.

There is a very thin line between mere paranoia and full blown delusion.

The delusion belongs to you.

Now did you watch the video, at all? Did you not see why Trumka has the ear of Obama at least 2 times a week according to old Richard, himself. That was one of the strongest campaign speeches I have heard and was nothing but racial in nature.

Of course, I neither like or trust Richard Trumka. I also didn't vote for Obama and won't again.

More than likely you are right. Don't most "good" union members vote that direction?

Why are you posting something this old? (10-4-08) Move on to something current or someone might get the idea that you're trying to race bait here. Also, do you really think that anyone who courts a presidential candidate (and vise-visa) during the campaign phrase still has the same access after the election is over?

I am not a member of his union but he did say that they would be racists if they voted against Obama. I guess only my delusion can cause me to think he included me and others who didn't vote for Obama,

It appears that Trumpka has the same access as before...

I guess you don't know how relevant this story is to the present day. According to Trumka, himself, he does speak with Obama at least two times a week. Of course, you don't want to know that he has said that because it messes with your thinking so you haven't heard him saying that.

How about the man's own mouth as the source of how often he consults with the White House? You may not want to hear this one but it originated at MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell being the head woman of the story. Well maybe the indication of The Blaze will allow you some wiggle room. Also, you will find another nasty name, Michele Malkin to back off with.

Is there a chance that 10-4-08 was during the last days of the 08 election? Maybe that has something to do with the Trumka speech that day.
