From the President's speech on 9/7/09

"Even if you're not a union member, you owe something" to a union. God bless the I.B.T. and all labor unions that fight for all working class Americans.

To me UNIONS ESPECIALLY THE IBT ARE NOT FIT TO EVEN CELEBRATE TODAY AFTER THE HOFFA ADMINISTRATIONS. NAME THE ONLY UNION TO DENY FULLY VESTED MEMBERS THEIR EARNED PENSIONS FOR CROSSING A PICKET LINE BECAUSE THEY NEEDED TO FEED THEIR FAMILY INSTEAD OF SHUT DOWN AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED ALL TEAMSTERS NATIONWIDE CAN KISS MY ### RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE AS I FART.

Thank the UAW for the prices of new cars that are built in the US. They get 95% of thier wages when they are laid off. Also get all sorts of benefits when retired.
