Obama Agrees to PROTECT Union Corruption, not Eliminate it
By Warner Todd Huston (05/10/08)
So, Barack Obama claims he is a reformer. He claims he wants to clean up Washington D.C. He acts as if he just wants the truth told to the people. Well, here is some truth. According to the Wall Street Journal(1) Barack has promised the Teamsters that if they give him their support he will kill the current Federal oversight agency that was created to root out union corruption in the workplace.
Yes, Barack Obama has said that he wishes to protect corruption, not eliminate it. Has he agreed to turn his back on fighting corruption merely so that he might be able to count the votes of union thugs in his column?
It has been revealed by inside sources that Obama secretly promised the Teamsters that he will end the strict oversight that the Federal government has through an independent oversight board that was set up in 1992 because of the mob influence rampant in the Teamsters. Obama has claimed that he favors "examining" the review board, but refuses to state publicly what that means.
However, the Wall Street Journal claims that they have found out that Obama means to scale back the board and this isn't too hard to believe since the Democrat controlled Congress has also been slow to approve funding of the Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) of late, paving the way to defund it and let it lie fallow. If Obama follows suit with the Democrats in Congress who are trying to give corrupt unions a free hand to indulge in more corruption with no government interference, it would seem to fit the Democrat agenda. This also shows that Obama is no "reformer" and not interested in changing anything in Washington but the party of the President.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Obama's secret promises are a bit "unusual."
It's an unusual stance for a presidential candidate. Policy makers have largely treated monitoring of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters as a legal matter left to the Justice Department since an independent review board was set up in 1992 to eliminate mob influence in the union.
You bet it seems an "unusual stance" especially from the so-called candidate of "change." After all, a secret deal to eliminate an agency that has been very effective at rooting out union crime and corruption does not ring true with a candidate who claims that he wants a "new day" of truth in Washington D.C.
Obama has said, though, that his promises to the Teamsters is not a "blanket commitment."
But, what Obama is quoted as having said is just another example of his penchant of say nothing at all and using a whole lot of words to do it.
"I wouldn't make any blanket commitments," the Illinois senator told ABC's "Good Morning America."
"What I've said is that I would examine what is going on in terms of the federal oversight that's been taking place but it's been in place for many years."
Obama said the Teamsters had done "a terrific job cleaning house" and suggested it could be time for the Teamsters "to get treated just like every other union."
"That's something that I'll absolutely examine when I'm president of the United States," he said.
This is all stuff and nonsense. Has he made a commitment to let the a corrupt, Mob infested union off the hook or not? No one can say because he talked out of both sides of his mouth once again.
It should be noted, too, that this oversight of the Teamsters is independent of politics and is a venue of the Justice Department. But, if Obama really does end up trying to eliminate a review board that has been successful in rooting out criminals in unions, how does this make him a "fresh voice" in Washington? It looks more like he is just another Democrat that panders to unions and turns his face from their criminal activities.
Not much "change" there.

"Mexico, Canada partnership underway with no authorization from Congress"
The United States Is Being Overthrown By Our Politicians - "A silent but all-reaching coup is taking place within the
United States. This coup is not being directed by bomb-laden Muslim terrorists, nor will it ever be covered by the mainstream media.
The seditious act is being carried out by our very own elected officials, with President Bush leading the insurrection."
"The FDA has conveniently used the excuse of looking out for consumer safety to increase their perverse regulatory power,
undermine free speech, disrupt commerce, and generally get in the way of helping people improve their health. The "half-truth" of
the safety issue is used as a ploy to reduce the rights of Americans, one freedom at a time. Once again, the FDA is seeking more
police power to intimidate supplement companies. This is one step in an overall FDA master plan to eliminate therapeutic nutritional
supplements from the free market. Those who lose are the American public." The FDA - A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
