Video: Meet Obama’s New ‘Fiscal Responsibility’ Commissioner Andy Stern
How’s that for a good joke? Appointing the biggest labor union gangster in America to a ‘fiscal responsibility commission’ charged with finding ways to cut the deficit.
Andy Stern is head of the SEIU, the most ruthless labor union in the country. It’s also President Obama’s favorite union and the one that’s given him the most money.
Stern is a flat out Socialist who never saw an entitlement program that he didn’t salivate over. He’s a parasite, a thug, and an asshole to boot.
Here’s Andy advocating for the redistribution of wealth and global governance.
Obama sure knows how to pick’em doesn’t he?
Obama Looking To Appoint SEIU Thug Andy Stern To ‘Federal Deficit Panel’
The suspicion that President Obama’s newly created “federal deficit panel” is nothing but a scam has been confirmed. He’s looking to appoint SEIU mob boss Andy Stern to the panel. Obama’s arrogance simply knows no bounds.
Appointing a Socialist labor union leader to a panel on cutting the deficit? Who the f*ck is he trying to kid?
First Lady’s Childhood Obesity Campaign Tied To Big Labor
I don’t think anyone in America is in favor of childhood obesity, nor is anyone against the First Lady throwing her weight behind a good cause. Mrs. Bush lent her stature to childhood literacy just as Michelle Obama is fighting against childhood obesity. Unfortunately, like everything else with this administration you have to pay close attention to what’s really going on versus what the public is being told. This administration tries to distract you with one thing and then slip something else through when you’re not looking.
Huge kudos goes to Michelle Malkin for blowing this story wide open. It turns out Michelle Obama’s big crusade against childhood obesity is really a crusade to grow the membership roles of her husband’s favorite labor union — the ubiquitous SEIU.
Mrs. Obama earned a State of the Union Address shout-out from her hubby for taking on the weighty public policy issue of students’ physical fitness. The East Wing is now in full campaign mode – leaning on the nation’s mayors, traveling with the Surgeon General, and meeting with Congress and cabinet members to reauthorize the Lyndon Johnson-era Child Nutrition Act, which provides government-subsidized meals to more than 30 million children. It’s part of the Obama administration’s self-proclaimed “cradle-to-career” agenda for America’s youth.
Moreover, they want to expand the program to include meals for infants, meals during the summer, and even dinner. So why might the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) be so interested in keeping and vastly expanding this government entitlement? Do they just love kids?
The well-intended program to feed poor kids has morphed into an untouchable universal entitlement with a powerful school lunch lobbying coalition of Department of Agriculture bureaucrats, food-service industry executives, and union bosses. Enter the SEIU. Headed up by the White House’s most frequent visitor, Andy Stern, the powerful labor organization representing government and private service employees has an insatiable appetite for power and growth. Working alongside the First Lady, the SEIU unveiled a major ad campaign this week demanding reauthorizing and funding increases in the Child Nutrition Act.
What’s in it for Big Labor? SEIU Executive Vice President Mitch Ackerman explains: “A more robust expansion of school lunch, breakfast, summer feeding, child care and WIC [the federal Women, Infants, and Children nutrition program] is critical to reducing hunger, ending childhood obesity, and providing fair wages and healthcare for front line food service workers (emphasis added).” There are 400,000 workers who prepare and serve lunch to American schoolchildren. SEIU represents tens of thousands of those workers and is trying to unionize many more. “More robust expansion” of the federal school lunch law means a mandate for higher wages, increased benefits, and government-guaranteed health insurance coverage (the more luxurious the better now that SEIU has negotiated its Cadillac Tax exemption from the Democrats’ health care takeover bill).
It’s not about feeding hungry kids or tackling obesity and it never was. It’s about propping up the purple shirted thugs in the SEIU. It’s a real shame that this administration can’t do a single f*cking thing without a left-wing agenda in the shadows somewhere. Everything they do and every bill they pass is about moving their insane Progressive agenda down the field.
This is by no means the full story. Click over and read Michelle’s entire column — it’s truly unbelievable.

SEIU Thug Andy Stern Calls Senators ‘Legislative Terrorists’
SEIU mob boss Andy Stern is venting his frustrations with lawmakers and the Obama administration over its failure to socialize the health care industry:
Pointing to the failure of Congress to pass health care reform and effectively stimulate job creation, SEIU president Andy Stern insisted that "unless something dramatic happens here" the country’s labor activists will not be eager to help the Democratic Party in the 2010 elections.
"Take the Senate bill as it is as the foundation to find ways whether through reconciliation or other legislative processes to try and fix the things that a lot of people think need to be fixed both now in the House and the Senate," Stern said.
…there are a lot of terrorist in the senate who think we are supposed to negotiate with them when they have their particular needs that they want met," he added.
"Are the Senate rules really appropriate for a 21st-century country where we can create gridlock by very limited hard work," Stern added. "if we are going to have filibusters lets at least have a debate. At least make people go to the floor. Let’s put the cots on the floor permanently…Change can easily die in the wells of the Senate."
Asked how badly he wanted filibuster reform, he replied: "Very badly."
Andy’s just upset that being the most frequent visitor to The White House isn’t buying him as much shit as he originally thought it would. Stern is an anti-capitalist a-hole who will do anything and attack anyone that gets in the way of his Marxist agenda.
Andy Stern is nothing but a two-bit gangster with access to The White House. I encourage everyone to read Michelle Malkin’s book Culture of Corruption if you want to know about Andy Stern and his SEIU union.

Union Thugs Block Blood Delivery At Local Red Cross
Employees of the American Red Cross in Philadelphia went on strike last Thursday to protest wages.
Union thugs even went so far as to block a blood shipment from reaching its destination to save lives. The Teamsters Union along with SEIU (Obama’s favorite union) blocked at least one delivery during the day and only relented when they were told the blood was needed to save a two-year old boy.
The American Red Cross obtained an injunction against the unions to prevent strikers from blocking further blood deliveries.
The union workers went on strike just after midnight when their contract expired. The Teamsters claim they’re protesting working conditions that endanger the blood supply.
Oddly enough, endangering the blood supply bothers them, but endangering lives by blocking blood deliveries does not.
Sounds like more union thuggery to me.
Video: Home Health Workers In Fresno Threatened By SEIU Thugs
The gangsters in the SEIU are at it again! This time in Fresno, CA where they were determined to “represent” home health workers. The workers could either willingly vote for SEIU or SEIU came out to their home and voted for them. SEIU is President Obama’s favorite union. He brags about working with these f*cking jackals his entire life. The person with the most White House visits since President Obama took office is none other than SEIU mob boss Andy Stern.

SEIU Thugs Now Targeting Boy Scouts For Too Much Volunteering
The organized crime family headed by Mob boss Andy Stern — also known as SEIU — is now targeting Boy Scouts Of America.
It seems President Obama’s “call for service” didn’t include encroaching on labor union turf.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, labor unions should be busted up.

Why Unions Want ObamaCare
If you’re wondering why labor unions are so committed to passing Obama’s health care reforms — here’s why.
It’s all about the money.
Black Conservatives Hold Protest At NAACP Over Kenneth Gladney Attack
We all remember a couple of weeks ago when Obama’s thugs in the SEIU attacked Kenneth Gladney who was selling “Don’t Tread On Me” flags outside a health care town hall.
Since that time, Gladney hasn’t heard a peep from Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, or the NAACP. Gladney was called a “nigger” by the black SEIU gangsters just prior to his beat-down in the street.
The sad truth is that black conservatives aren’t considered black people by folks like Sharpton, Jackson, or the NAACP. They don’t defend “Uncle Tom’s” like Gladney. To radical black activists and race hustlers like Sharpton and Jackson, Gladney deserved to get his ass kicked for conspiring with “white devils” (i.e. conservatives).
Fortunately, they are other groups willing to stand up for black conservatives. Groups like Move-On-Up.org who represent black conservatives, republicans, and moderates.
Move-On-Up.org held a protest and press conference outside the NAACP in St. Louis. Gateway Pundit has all the details.
The Ugly History Of The SEIU
I’ve made no secret of my disdain for labor unions. It’s so transparent what their real motivations are and it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with “the working man” or any of the other tired union clichés. Unions are about amassing as much money and power as they possibly can legally and illegally for the sole benefit of the scumbags at the top.
Labor unions have also become the military wing of the democratic party. If the democrats can’t get the public to go along with their agenda peacefully, they dispatch the union thugs to crack some heads.
Amidst the current health care debate, one union in particular is front and center. It’s Barry’s favorite union — SEIU.
SEIU is so deep in the Obama administration that SEIU boss Andy Stern has a seat in the White House whenever important policy debates on issues like health care take place.
Michelle Malkin has a column up on Townhall today laying out the ugly and violent history of the SEIU.
