Labor Day couldn't have come fast enough for labor unions in this country. They really have their thongs in a wad right now. Why? Because they haven't seen the payoff that they expected for getting all of these Democrats elected. What do they ultimately want? They want Democrats to pass their card check bill. Pass the card check bill and the labor unions can go on their merry way, bullying workers into a giant unionized work-force. And it seems as though the White House pandered right to them. Joe Biden himself promised yesterday that the card check bill would make it through Congress this year. Barack Obama says that "every American owes something to America's labor movement."

Well .. someone had better work on getting this message across to the American people. Polling this morning shows that labor unions are enjoying the lowest approval rating since you kicked the last slat out of your cradle. Only 48% of Americans harbor positive thoughts about labor unions. The purple-shirted thugs from the Service Employees International Union and their actions at the townhall meetings haven't helped labor's image.
