Look for the Union Label
In case you live under a rock and haven’t heard, Barack Obama turns 50 today. And, the place to be tonight is the Aragon. The party starts at 7:00. But don’t bother to show up if you’re a union member. The White House hired a non-union crew for the event tonight.
A confidential and trusted union source contacted me today to report that the crews called in to work Obama’s birthday bash are non-union. Union members are OUTRAGED that Obama would turn his back on them.
Curiously, my source added that the day rate is actually higher for the non-union members to do the work. It’s not a money issue. What gives?
Two-faced-ness on the part of an Illinois-bred politician?

Now you know why Washington was "racing" to find a deficit ceiling hike.
WE HAD FUNDRAISERS TO GO TO BAAABY!!
Gotta get them tax breaks out to the corporations so we can get the campaign contributions in return.
It's not about the people. It's about the politicians and their campaigns..it's about getting re-elected and keeping the family business going.
OMG can we please get term limits on them ALL.
This link sums it up all quite nicely. Pay particular attention to the section: "How To Cripple A Government"

That's what all them union morons get for supporting that asshat
Must be another of Rahm's anti-union moves. He's really into union-busting, isn't he?
Why the f*ck would anyone want to celebrate their milestone birthday (or any other one, for that matter) at that cesspool?
I can here Zone 11 now, "2011, strong armed robbery of a iPhone, Rolex watch and diamond necklace just ocurred in front of the Aragon Ball Room. You're looking for a M/1 with dreads, wearing a dirty white tee shirt, baggy pants w/ his Fred Flinstone underwear showing. Victim followed him to 4848 Winthrop."
"Union members are OUTRAGED that Obama would turn his back on them."
They can be outraged all they want to be, but they shouldn't be surprised. The Dems continue to turn their backs on unions. They just needed their support and their money to win the elections.
"Curiously, my source added that the day rate is actually higher for the non-union members to do the work. It’s not a money issue. What gives?"
I expect a little digging would reveal that the owner of the company that provided the service was a heavy contributor...maybe he needs an ambassador post to Navassa Island (a U.S. possession) or something...
What it iz iz, I love the unions. I invited all the uninons to
my party so I knew they couldn't work it.
Now let's par-tay like it's 2008.
The POTUS at the Aragon, to celebrate his birthday. Wow! That just blows my mind. No wonder I've been hearing helicopters flying about.
What is the bigger tragedy? The hypocrite hiring someone else or the vast number of blind uninformed, sheeple thinking he has their back?
Many of you voted for him (don't deny it) so don't be upset. Don't make the same mistake twice.
It is also very odd that when a Republican governor (in Wisconsin) decides to cut back on benefits the unions are all out in busloads making a scene and calling the guy Hitler and yet when personnel cuts and layoffs are done in Chicago by a Democratic mayor no one even shows up to protest.
You'll be looking back and saying wow, I'm glad we got a 2% raise instead of a 5% cut.
Stop living in a dream world, the economy is really bad and there is no money for big government, let alone crazy raises.
Only fitting that they had his birthday party where they filmed parts of The movie "Public Enemies".
according to the news it was 92 degrees in the aragon.... hope the limo-liberals that paid $30K a seat and were wearing their 3-piece suites had plenty of cool-aid to drink....
Someone got paid ya!!!
Follow the money....
I'm sure that whatever firm was hired has a connection to someone high up somewhere...
It's still the "Chicago way" afterall....
he gone
Wasn't it the UNIONS that backed and endorsed this clown? In particular Chicago trade Unions! Well you liberals wanted change, now count the change in your pocket, that's all the change you've got! He Changed us all right, soon we will all speak Chinese, after all They OWN US! Thanks Brobama!!!
Somehow I doubt that the President of the United States personally decides who works backstage at a rally or event. Besides, unions are socialist fifth columns anyway, as was proven in WI.So, doesn't this prove Obama is actually NOT a socialist? Or is he simply lulling us all into a false sense of security until the 50 divisions of blue-helmeted UN stormtroopers are ready to emerge from all those secret underground bases that Jimmy Carter ordered and Bill Clinton finished?
How were they able to scrape the floor clean of dried beer, vomit, and sweat for the attendees? That venue has always been a shithole... good place for his party.
Obama to a newsprint reporter:
What do you mean, I don't care about union members?! I am the President of the United States and I am very busy, too busy to have known these workers were not union members, but, even so, I will take care of it immediately, now that you have brought it to my attention. By chance, are you a Republican? Oh, never mind. I'll take care of it.
Obama to secretary:
Yeah, get me Bill, you know, Bill Daley. You know, the guy with a head like sputnik.
Obama to Daley:
Yeah Bill, fire that guy Somma One or his boss, Annie Boddy. I think they were responsible for this bit of a snafu about using non-union labor at my birthday bash at the Aragon Ballroom. Then send them to that boob Quinn back home in Illinois and have Quinn make them a chief of something or another. Got it? Okay. Doesn't that Quinn look like a chimpanzee when you surprise him?! Yeah, yeah! When you call Quinn, do it on Skype and record the video for me. I want to see that boob's face when you tell him. I need a laugh for cripe's
sake because my birthday has been fucked up by this mess. Yeah, thanks, but stop singing in the phone, will ya? Jesus H. SChrist, you sound like a cat in heat!
Quinn's press conference:
Today I am pleased to be announcing the appointments of Mr. Somma One as the chairman of the Something Or Other Board and Ms. Annie Boddy as the chairwoman of the Something Else Board. These two individuals have been determined to be the most qualified after a nationwide search.
You think Obama raises funds from the rich? Read today's NY Times article on Bush Fundraising:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/04/us/politics/04donate.html?_r=2&hp
"Two and a half years after Mr. Bush left the White House, the formidable network of Republican donors he assembled has largely melted away. Fewer than one in five of Mr. Bush’s Rangers and Pioneers, the elite corps of “bundlers” who helped Mr. Bush smash fund-raising records in his two runs for the White House and remain the gold standard of Republican fund-raising, have contributed to any of the current Republican candidates, according to a New York Times analysis."
Say whaaaa.....
A democrat betrayed a union?? OMG im like so shocked. You think it could happen to FOP? Lets keep endorsing these bums
37k fundraiser for oblamer. that s a high price for stupid jokes and lies. surprised they didnt have a cardboard cut out of george bush. koolaid drinkers and droolers. did anyone pass out?
What's the deal? Obama is the President. That is his own little fuck you to the unions. He knew what was going on there. I can hear him now "you want a slap bitches?"
I am very pro-union. And all of the unions I know backed this guy. And this is how he treats them? Shame on him.
continue to not vote~~
get on the blog and piss and moan about everything but dont do anything to make it better.
keep crying and praying things get better cuz that has been working so good lately!
I bet the police send about 20% to the polls in 2012
How much of a hand do you think the president of our country has in throwing his own party?
Do you really think he is looking at contracts on who works the party? The mob connected union people probably didn't pass the secret service name checks
.
hres another irony. how many rich republicans gave money to obama?
The news said it was packed in the Aragon brawl room. Then the camera pans out an shows the back of the room
Half empty.
F'n Union Slugs shouldn't be so hard on their Communist Leader.
WRT: "Somehow I doubt that the President of the United States personally decides who works backstage at a rally or event."
=========
Oh dats right..dey would probably let someone like da presidents chief of staff homie handle such matters.
..and who bee the chief of staff homie now? OH YEA IT'S Willian Daley!
♫..won't you come home bill daley..won't you come home.♫
.ahhh cha-cha-cha-chaaaa....
WRT "You think Obama raises funds from the rich? Read today's NY Times article on Bush Fundraising:
..."
========
Oh please don't mistake the bashing of the Obama fundraiser as an endorsement for a republican fundraiser.
The Bush campaign was just as bad and now Obama is working overtime to see if he can beat it.
Trying to argue which one is worse always comes off as endorsement, apologetic, that it's okay for one side because the other is worse.
It's not okay. It needs to stop. I don't care who's worse just stop it.
This is not about a rep vs dems sides issue. ALL of them now are more concerned about their own fundraisers and re-elections then they are doing their jobs.
These political candidates just get into office and barely six months later they're out campaigning on the taxpayers dime! WTF?
Look at the amount of time any one of our so-called political leaders are spending campaigning vs doing what they were elected to do. It's ridiculous and needs to stop. We need term limits
A true Socialist hates organized labor, other than to condescendingly exploit it for personnel gain. Organization is a threat to a despots power. This is a truly arrogant, power hungry, Anti-American man. He is hates everything about us. He wants us to be no different than Sri Lanka or Ghana. To him we are the problem in the world.
To the Ignorant Asshat:
The entire event we wrote about took place at the Aragon Brawl-room here in Chicago. Or don't you pay attention?
HaHaHa! So glad you union guys supported Obama and Rahm. Democrat.....the party for labor! Ha Ha Ha!
