This union thug is nothing more than a communist party apparatchik. Their members are useful idiots looking for some shake-down cash to trickle down from their headquarters offices. This guy is complicit with our seditionist leaders…. period.
Actually true. Since Presidents don’t create jobs in the real world, you have to look at the number of jobs they create through their own decisions – like the ridiculous number of czars.
Obama may have created more union jobs (the only ones this meathead would count) but I wonder whether the union folks have really thought this through. In the mad scramble to grab “shovel ready” contracts, have they realized that there’s going to be a bit of dry spell coming up?
Seems to me, this is cash for clunkers all over again.

That’s what “mismanagement of resources” is all about.
Osama Obama hasn’t “created” more jobs for union workers — he has “created” more jobs for union thugs.
Mouth-breathers like Trumka have free access to the White House now, and that’s more disturbing — and more dangerous for the nation — than seeing Mafia dons wandering the halls.
AFL-CIO chief: Obama’s created more jobs than Bush or something
Of course you have to follow a few simple rules concerning how you count:
1. Union boss jobs count.
2. The loss of a huge number of jobs (including union worker jobs) in a whole industry doesn’t count (i.e.: auto industry, auto dealerships, oil industry, insurance industry, etc., etc.)
3. Looking for work counts as a job.
4. If you get laid off and now work two jobs, that counts as a gain of two jobs.
5. If you get laid off, get hired as a temp, and get laid off again (and are still out of work), that counts as a gain of one job.
6. If Obama and/or congressional incumbents wish employment went up, then it did! (the Peter Pan effect)
7. Etc.

Uhhh, Census jobs are temporary, plus government unionized jobs aren’t the only ones most of us count.

Piss off, union thug, you and your kind are a blight on this nation.

Seems to me that some of these unions should open their books WIDE so their members can see how their dues are being spent.
Hum, maybe some kind of investigation.

Half the population is walking around barefoot, but the “statistics” show that the government exceeded its shoe quota by 167 million!

I like how the CNN propagandist doesn’t even challenge him.
Also, Palin has this fat clown’s number.

Blob-like, alcohol marinated Trumka: Obama has created more jobs than anyone since the beginning of time.
CNN propagandist: That’s a lot! A lot more than Boooooooooosh!
