President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong!" - Jimmy Hoffa, President - Teamsters
Gosh, it seems like such a long time ago that Jimmy Hoffa delivered his uplifting speech designed to whip the crowd into an Organized Obama frenzy in the Motor City on Labor Day.
Ah, the good old days.
Events from earlier today make me look wistfully back the Union-sponsored Love Fest for the Organizer in Chief, President Barack Obama.
Yeah, I know, you’re asking, “Dude, are you serious, you thought that speech was a GOOD thing???”
Well, since you asked, I believe that talking about threatening to ‘take these sons of bitches out’ is a BETTER option than actually acting upon the thing itself.
This evening we’ll hear from President Obama about how HE (and he alone) wants to fix the Economy.
Tomorrow we’ll hear about how Republicans won’t even try to fix the Economy and put people back to work by following the widely accepted: ‘President Obama’s Patented Practices for Creating or Saving Jobs’. (US Patent #: $1600000000000)
But for now, let’s talk about today.
Tonight will take care of itself and President Obama will take care of his Organized Family…

The train was the first grain shipment to arrive at Longview. It arrived Wednesday night after police arrested 19 demonstrators who tried to block the tracks. They were led by ILWU International President Robert McEllrath, who said they would return
shades of the 1930s!! that's about when the formerly beneficial unions began to wield their power & retaliate on the employers. there were bloody fights...lives were lost on both sides...not only were people killed on the lines, but they were murdered in their homes, while driving, in church...no place was safe if one was either an employer or a union member. it was a very bloody time in the history of our country. it appears that these union thugs are going back to their roots & bringing havoc on our nation. can this be a planned & well thought out seige?...do they want [under the tutelege of the faux POTUS] to create an untennable situation so that O-bomb can, [w/ reason] declare marshall law, thereby having an excuse to seize the gov't? [sorry this is so long] alphamom
