"Unions" actually endorsed Scott Walker, and as I've stated before, 40% of union households plan to vote for his reelection. The fact that he turned on them as soon as he was sworn in, notwithstanding, they actually endorsed him. You seem fixated on Pres. Obama fixing all that ails unions. Union membership didn't begin its decline under Pres. Obama. Isn't it the job of union bosses/organizers to increase their membership?
I don't dare underplay the significance of unions and what they've meant to the establishment of the middle class, but you seem to be under some misapprehension about the duties of the POTUS. As I told you in another thread, you seem obsessed with style much moreso than substance. Just because this president doesn't do breathless, spittle laced, redfaced, foam-at-the-mouth stump speeches like a Bernie Sanders, you figure he isn't doing enough. That's complete & utter bullshit.
