Yeah, all for labor – ready to put on those comfortable shoes and walk the picket line. Just like you did in Wisconsin when Wisconsin’s labor needed you.

How’s that Trans Pacific Partnership goin’? Avoiding any prosecution of the banking criminals lately?

Beat me to it. Big Labor Laborfest my ass. Inviting Obama to speak just shows how fucking desperate they are these days. And with union membership down in the single digits let’s call it Little Labor.

BTW, is the president clenching his fists? Yeah, didn’t think so.
