Unions - Welcome to the Obama White House!!!

Got to keep reminding myself not to get overexcited...

But, man, I have been following the last 10 days of this new administration, and honestly, this new administration keeps blowing me away. They're clear about what they want to do, and its not just making the right sound bites. They are doing the right things. But still when I hear the POTUS say "The labor movement is not part of the problem, it's part of the solution" (about 6:40 into the video), or the VP say "To our friends in organized labor: Welcome back to the White House", boy, that sure does sound great.

A task force for the middle class? BAM!
The Lily Ledbetter act signed into law? BAM!!
Gitmo closed? BAM!!!
Reversal of the Anti-abortion funding policy? BAYYYAAAMMMM!!!!

Talk about ending not just the farcical "War on Terror", but also ending the war on the labor movement, the war on women, the war on science...

(a personal favorite : Michael Griffin, the NASA chief? His ass is grass. Deservedly so.)

Lily Ledbetter's (finally fruitful) efforts reminded me of Rosie the Riveter:
