Obama Co-Opts the Labor Movement
Shamus Cooke, Truthout: "When governments fall deaf to social reality, it's up to working people to get loud. Obama's jobs speech proved that the Democrats - like the Republicans - suffer from massive hearing loss, unable to listen to the millions of people suffering from the intractable jobs depression. After mounting pressure from labor and community groups, Obama promised a paltry $447 billion for his American Jobs Act ... Such an insulting 'solution' to the deepening recession must be shouted down in the streets, but labor and community groups don't seem up for the challenge."
