Obama: I will 'paint the nation purple with SEIU'

This video discussed on American Thinker was discovered by Breitbart tv » Uncovered Video Obama Leads SEIU Chant After Vowing to Paint the Nation Purple

It is shocking to watch Obama on this video and then hear the claims of the White House after they supported the unions in Wisconsin say they didn't as we brought out on here yesterday. Watch the video and ask yourself how this man got elected President.

Obama: I will 'paint the nation purple with SEIU'
Andrew Thomas

After viewing the video below we can now say with certainty which side President Obama is on concerning the Wisconsin public union protests. Mr. Obama is not a public union supporter, he is their national leader. This is rapidly becoming a nationwide manufactured "crisis", as orchestrated by SEIU and Obama's Organizing for America. Is this what he meant when he said he would make us a nation of purple states?

Democrat Caddell rips White House for obeisance to organized labor

This is beyond amazing to have Pat Cadell say that Obama White House is creating "a world in which there is no dissent" because that is how Obama comes across to us. You do not disagree with Obama and his Chicago thugs or you are on the outside looking in which looks to be what happened to Cadell, a democrat consultant.

We were concerned that unions would have the upper hand in the Obama White House and it looks like that it is the case. It is pretty evident that Obama is bought and paid for by the SEIU and other union groups. We have yet to figure out why federal employees have such heavy handed unions when by law they are not allowed to strike. Actually when you stop to think, it makes you wonder why there are any unions representing public employees. Not only do they have unions but very strong unions who use thug tactics.

Obama seems to be the perfect example of saying one thing during the campaign and doing a 180 after elected for the most part but one thing has come true -- the fear a lot of us had that the unions would be running the Government.

“What I said about Andy Stern and the SEIU? Sure, they’re thugs,” said Caddell

It is one thing for us to say that the SEIU is a group of thugs, but to have Pat Caddell say the same thing gives extra credibility to the 'thug' statement.

Democrat Caddell rips White House for obeisance to organized labor

February 17, 2010

Longtime Democratic strategist Pat Caddell on Wednesday blasted the Obama White House for creating “a world in which there is no dissent,” following his banishment from Colorado Democrat Andrew Romanoff’s campaign for Senate.

Caddell, in a phone interview with The Daily Caller, doubled down on the comments he made in November, when he said public sector employee unions in Colorado used as leverage to get him tossed from the Romanoff campaign.

“What I said about Andy Stern and the SEIU? Sure, they’re thugs,” said Caddell, a former adviser to President Jimmy Carter, who until Wednesday had an informal advising role with the primary challenger to incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet.

Caddell said he does not fault Romanoff, a former state House speaker, for cutting ties with him after his remarks from November — in which he called the Service Employee Union International (SEIU) “thugs” and said the goal of the environmental movement is to “deconstruct capitalism” — were made public.

But Caddell said the comments were pushed into the public spotlight by the state chapters of the SEIU and the AFL-CIO, who called on the Romanoff campaign to get rid of him or risk losing any chance of getting labor’s endorsement.

“The unions have been considering endorsing Romanoff, and basically they told him that if I was involved with the campaign, ‘sayonara,’ which I think is the definition of thuggery isn’t it?” said Caddell, who has worked for a who’s who of Democratic politicians over the last few decades, including Ted Kennedy, George McGovern, Mario Cuomo and Gary Hart.

The SEIU and AFL-CIO have not responded to requests for comment. Neither have the Bennet campaign or the Romanoff campaign.

Caddell’s larger point is that Obama has allowed the Democratic party to be run by special interests such as the SEIU, and that the White House itself has reinforced the idea that no disagreement with their policies or ideas can be expressed.

“What they have created is a world in which there is no dissent. Don’t look at me. Look at [Sen.] Evan Bayh. People, with some justification, may think that I’m crazy. But he is the center of the establishment if there was ever was someone,” Caddell said. “When there’s no room in the Democratic party for him and there’s no room in the Democratic party for me, and the unions do get to make those kinds of calls in defense of the indefensible, because, ‘We own you,’ well, the Democratic party will be finished.”

The White House has not responded to request for comment.

Caddell said he is being ostracized for sounding alarms about the problem that public sector unions are posing for the Democratic party. He said he supports industrial unions but that government employee unions such as the SEIU — which is one of the Democratic party’s biggest campaign contributors — violate the raison d’etre of the party, which is to “stand up for ordinary average Americans, not money and special interests.”

“I think the public unions are going to take the country and the Democratic party down the tubes,” Caddell said. “They’re in the business of taking care of — of asking taxpayers, asking ordinary people, to pay for people who make twice as much as they make, with benefit packages they will never see, and they’re told, you may not cut those.”

Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez detained, beaten on way to march

You may be asking why we are posting this story but frankly it sounds like what has happened in this Country during the Congressional Town Hall events. We are sure all of you remember St. Louis where the SEIU thug attacked a young black man at the Cong Carnahan Town Hall. What was his crime? He dared to be handing out 'Don't Tread on Me' flags when he was attacked which was caught on video. The young man ended up at the emergency room after the attack by SEIU thugs (Prairie Pundit).

Over the course of the summer SEIU thugs intimidated and shoved people all over America attending these Town Halls against healthcare.

Radthke, a good friend of Obama, was a founder of the SEIU along with ACORN. Where was the denouncement out of the White House at the tactics of SEIU this summer? Crickets chirping but then we would expect no less from an Administration who dropped charges against the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia who were charged with voter intimidation. The charges were dropped against the advice of the career DOJ lawyers. What kind of a message did that send to SEIU, New Black Panther, and other thug groups doing the President's bidding? They can do whatever they want and get a slap on the wrist from this Administration. Radthke had his thugs out in force at the Town Halls we would bet at the request of Valerie Jarrett.

Would someone explain to us what is the difference in what happened to this blogger in Cuba and what happened to Ken Gladney, the black conservative the SEIU thugs attacked.

The verbal attacks by this Administration on anyone who disagrees are giving ammunition to the SEIU thugs and New Black Panthers to take things into the own hands to physically attack anyone who disagrees with Obama.

Americans better wake up and ask themselves is this what Obama intends if we don't stand up to him now!!!

Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez detained, beaten on way to march

Cuba's best-known blogger Yoani Sanchez said state security officials seized and assaulted her in an effort to block her participation in a march against violence.

Famed Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez said Friday she and another blogger were punched and thrown violently into a car by presumed state security agents as they walked to participate in a peaceful march in downtown Havana.

``No blood, but black and blues, punches, pulled hairs, blows to the head, kidneys, knee and chest,'' Sánchez told El Nuevo Herald shortly after she and Orlando Luis Pardo were freed. ``In sum, professional violence.''

``I, being a person of verbal pacifism, am shaken by this violence, because violence silences anyone,'' the blogger declared in a telephone interview.
Sánchez, the best-known Cuban blogger on the island and off, said she and bloggers Pardo and Claudia Cadelo and a woman friend were walking to join a ``march against violence'' organized by several young musicians when they were intercepted by three men in civilian clothes. Cuba's state security service agents frequently operate out of uniform.

SEIU: 'One of the Pillars of the ACORN Family'

This new site, BigGovernment.com, is doing the job the biased MSM refuses to do except for Fox News and that is to do investigative journalism. This news on ACORN is soon going to be so huge, the MSM will have no choice but to cover but it makes us wonder what angle they will take to protect this President who has longtime ties to ACORN and wanted them to help him run the Country after he was elected.

SEIU: 'One of the Pillars of the ACORN Family'
by Don Loos

For one of Big Labor’s most notorious organizing partners, ACORN, the “chickens have come home to roost” thanks to the James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles continuously unfolding ACORN exposé. If you rely on MSNBC for your news, you may not have noticed ACORN’s very thin “community organizer” veneer being sanded away exposing the rotten termite-infested wood underneath.

Part of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now’s (ACORN) rotten core includes a very cozy relationship with Big Labor. In fact, in many instances ACORN and Big Labor are one and the same. In 2008, Big Labor funneled ACORN millions of dollars for so-called organizing activity. But, that is only the tip of the Big Labor iceberg.

ACORN controls or significantly dominates several Big Labor unions and organizations. ACORN created and controls SEIU 100 (Gulf Region) and SEIU 880 (a recently expanded SEIU mega-local that covers Chicago, Illinois, Indiana, and Kansas).

ACORN founder S. Wade Rathke referred to mega-union SEIU 880 as “one of the pillars of the ACORN Family.”

Soros/SEIU The Fund for America 527

George Soros, SEIU Each Contribute $2,500,000 to The Fund for America, a Recently Formed Pro-Democratic 527 Group

George Soros, SEIU Each Contribute $2,500,000 to The Fund for America, a Recently Formed Pro-Democratic 527 Group

In a report filed on January 31, 2007 with the Internal Revenue Service, The Fund for America, a recently formed pro-Democratic 527 group, reported receiving total contributions of $6,750,000 for the period from November 6, 2007 to December 31, 2007.
The contributions included $2,500,000 from billionaire George Soros, $2,500,000 from the labor union SEIU and $1,000,000 from Donald Sussman, President of Trust Assets Management, LLP.

The Fund for America was formed in November 2007 by Rob McKay, President of the McKay Family Foundation and a Taco Bell heir, Anna Burger, Secretary-Treasurer of SEIU, and John Podesta, President of Center for American Progress and a former chief of staff for President Bill Clinton.

McKay and Burger are also the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Democracy Alliance, a group of wealthy progressive donors that provide financial support to think tanks and advocacy groups.
The Fund for America is expected to be the leading 527 group making expenditures to support the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2008 presidential election.

It is the successor group to two 527 groups, ACT and The Media Fund, that played the same role for the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2004 presidential election and are no longer functioning.

George Soros provided more than $19,000,000 and SEIU provided $5,000,000 to support the efforts made by ACT and The Media Fund in the 2004 presidential race, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Three years after the 2004 presidential election, the FEC found in 2007 that ACT and The Media Fund made massive illegal expenditures to influence the 2004 presidential election.
The FEC found that ACT made $100,000,000 in illegal expenditures and The Media Fund made $53,000,000 in illegal expenditures in the 2004 presidential race. The FEC, however, imposed relatively minimal fines on each of the groups, equal to one percent or less of the total amount of their massive violations.
