Shocking Headline of the Day: AFL-CIO to Endorse Obama
In a headline/news story that should surprise nobody, the AFL-CIO is set to endorse Barack Obama and start spending for the upcoming election.
The AFL-CIO’s endorsement will unite all of labor’s support behind Sen. Obama. The group of unions that left the AFL-CIO three years ago, known as the Change to Win federation, endorsed the Illinois senator in late February. Unions across the labor movement have said they will spend a record $300 million to help elect Democrats to the White House and Congress this fall.
Unions are expected to focus on shoring up support for Sen. Obama among white working-class voters. “Organized labor can play an important role to bring those voters over to Barack Obama, and that could be decisive,” said Peter Francia, a professor of political science at East Carolina University.
Like him or not, I certainly don’t see any “change” in this Chicago politician.
I guess this was a sarcastic post, Unions always vote for the Democrat.
