ABOUT THE SEIU AND STERN, I WROTE THIS LAST SUMMER - YES... SUMMER:
I have long argued that the Democrats are the party of the SEIU and AFSMCE - huge unions which represent people who work FOR the bureaucracy. They scratch each other's backs: the Democrats fight to get them more jobs and raises, and the unions fight to get the Dems reelected.I WROTE THIS LAST WINTER! YES LAST WINTER, WHEN THE SEIU ENDORSED OBAMA:
This "coalition" is a VERY BIG PART OF THE CHICAGO MACHINE AND THE OBAMA COALITION.
THE OTHER SHOE WILL SOON DROP.THE ASTUTE BLOGGER TWO WEEKS AGO WEEK:
- THEY [THE SEIU] COULD'VE LIVED WITH ANY OF THE THREE LEADING DEM CANDIDATES: ALL PROMISED TO EXPAND THE GOVERNMENT'S ROLE IN HEALTHCARE AND THEREFORE DIRECTLY BRING THEM RICHES.
- OBAMA IS PROMISING THEM THE MOST - WITH EXPANSION OF TAX-PAYER FINANCED HEALTHCARE AND HIS "GREEN CORPS".
- IT'S A QUID PRO QUO PAYOFF TO THE DEMOCRAT/UNION MACHINE - TYPIFIED BY THE CHICAGO MACHINE WHICH ANOINTED OBAMA.
- THE OBAMA-REZKO RELATIONSHIP SPEAKS VOLUMES - ABOUT OBAMA.
- AND IT EXPLAINS WHY AND HOW OBAMA ROSE SO QUICKLY THROUGH CITY AND THEN STATE POLITICS AND INTO THE SENATE.
- AND IT EXPLAINS WHY TED KENNEDY IS SO ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTING HIM
- IT'S NOT JUST CLINTON-FATIGUE, OR CLINTON HATRED.
- IT'S THE OL'TIME CORRUPT, ELECTION-STEALING, PATRONAGE JOB-GIVING CHICAGO DEMOCRAT PARTY MACHINE, FEELING YOUNG AGAIN - FEELING WELL-OILED, AND EAGER TO GET CONTROL OF THE WHITE HOUSE SO THEY CAN:
Can you imagine what will happen if PRESIDENT OBAMA signs a nationalized healthcare plan bill passed by HARRY REID and NANCY PELOSI!?!?
- GET CONTROL OF FEDERAL PATRONAGE,
- GET CONTROL OF THE POWER TO INCREASE FEDERAL UNION WAGES,
- AND - AS TEDDY BELLOWED SO LOUDLY DURING HIS ENDORSEMENT SPEECH -
- GET THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CREATE THE GREAT-GRANDMOTHER OF ALL FEDERAL TEAT-SUCKING PATRONAGE PROGRAMS OF ALL TIMES: NATIONAL HEALTHCARE.
It'll probably be run by a Kennedy and a Daley - for their benefit and the benefit of and their SEIU/AFSCME cronies.
WITH REZKO'S FALL CAME BLAGOJEVICH'S FALL. THEY WERE VERY CLOSE ALLIES. AS WERE REZKO, BLAGO AND OBAMA.
OBAMA'S FALL IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK...
Ha. As always, "Reliapundit" shows himself to be the least reliable pundit around, and the most likely TO WRITE POSTS IN ALL CAPS LIKE AN AOL OUTCAST. :-) ROFL!!!1
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit early to say Blagojevich and Rezko will lead Fitzgerald to Obama, dontcha think? Particularly since Fitzgerald said in the press conference that they are making no allegations against Obama.
But I see the right wing blogs are falling over each other to insist that Obama is corrupt because Blagojevich is corrupt. Well, we'll see, won't we? It's pretty sad that the M.O. of the right-wing "movement" has become "by any means necessary," including gross distortions and outright fabrications, to harm their perceived enemy. "Reliapundit" is a true believer in such tactics, if not a particularly competent practitioner of them.
SKYLIGHTS; IT'S OBVIOUS YOU DIDN'T READ ANY OF THE LINKS.
ReplyDeleteWHY NOT DO A LITTLE RESEARCH BEFORE EXPONERATING OBAMA.
HE AND REZXKO GO WAY BACK - IN CORRUPTION.
AND OBAMA DID FAVORS FOR BLAGO AND VICE VERSA. AND THEY BOTH WERE TIGHT WITH REZKO.
I SYTARTED BLOGGIN ABOUT OBAMA;S CORRUPT WAYS IN 2005.
AS FOR ALLCAPS:
THEY DON'T BOTHER YOU OR ANYONE ELSE IN THE NYTIMES HEADLINES, SO WHY SHOULD THEY IN MY POSTS!?
IT'S INCONSISTENT.
CRITIQUING ALLCAPS IS THE HOBGOBLIN OF SMALL MINDS.
WUOFU.

Union Official Allegedly Served As a Go-Between for Governor
ReplyDeleteBlagojevich Apparently Hoped for Job Leading Labor Group

Among the revelations contained in the complaint brought against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich
yesterday was the description of an official with the Service Employees International Union acting as an
apparent intermediary between the governor and Barack Obama's camp in discussions over Obama's Senate
seat.
The alleged role of the SEIU official was surprising, given that the union had not figured publicly in
the investigation into Blagojevich (D). But on another level, the SEIU's apparent involvement is an
indication of the extent to which it has, under the leadership of its ambitious and controversial
president, Andrew L. Stern, become an omnipresent force in Democratic politics.
With organized labor holding such high expectations for the Obama administration -- notably, hopes for
legislation fiercely opposed by business leaders that would make it easier to form unions -- officials
of other unions were hoping yesterday that the SEIU's apparent involvement in the Illinois scandal would
not undermine their cause in Washington.
The U.S. attorney's complaint states that Blagojevich mused aloud with his advisers about the
possibility that he could seek a high-paying job with Change to Win, the coalition of seven unions --
dominated by SEIU -- that broke away from the AFL-CIO in 2005. Blagojevich and his chief of staff
wondered aloud about a "three-way deal" in which he would appoint Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett, a
Chicago businesswoman believed to be the woman identified in the complaint as "Candidate 1," to Obama's
Senate seat; Blagojevich in return would become Change to Win's executive director; and Obama would
reward Change to Win with pro-labor policies.
The complaint also states that on Nov. 12, Blagojevich spoke by phone with an "SEIU official" who was in
Washington and with whom Blagojevich had met a week before on the understanding that the official was an
emissary to discuss Jarrett's interest in the Senate seat. In the conversation, the SEIU official is
alleged to have said that Obama now wanted Blagojevich to consider candidates other than Jarrett.
Apparently undeterred, Blagojevich allegedly suggested that SEIU could assist in the formation of a
nonprofit political organization that could employ Blagojevich while also assisting Jarrett. The SEIU
official agreed to "put that flag up and see where it goes."
SEIU leaders, who were gathered yesterday at a Denver hotel to discuss the "card-check" legislation that
would make it easier to form unions, declined to comment yesterday, saying through a spokeswoman, "We
have no reason to believe that SEIU or any SEIU official was involved in any wrongdoing."
A spokesman for Change to Win said: "No one connected with Change to Win ever considered, discussed or
promised any position at Change to Win to Governor Blagojevich, his staff or his advisers. In the
affidavit released by the United States Attorney, a position at Change to Win is discussed only in
conversations between the governor and his advisers."
The complaint's wording suggests that the SEIU official who allegedly talked with Blagojevich was Stern,
because it quotes the governor's chief of staff as saying the official "could make" the governor the
head of Change to Win, a level of authority that only Stern holds over the coalition. But the SEIU
official with the closest ties to the Obama team is Tom Balanoff, head of SEIU's Illinois chapter. A
labor source who was not authorized to speak publicly said that although Balanoff had planned to be in
Denver, he was not at the meeting yesterday.
SEIU officials did not return repeated calls yesterday.
Stern has emerged as a central player in the labor movement by pressing aggressively to expand union
rolls, along the way irritating AFL-CIO leaders, whom he accused of being complacent, and leaders of
some SEIU chapters who accuse him of cutting deals with business and government that enhance his profile
while undercutting local chapters. Among his victories was Blagojevich's decision to let SEIU, and not
the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, organize Illinois' child-care workers.
Stern resisted attempts by some SEIU chapters to endorse Obama early in the primaries, because Stern
also liked former North Carolina senator John Edwards and hoped to preserve the union's resources for
the general election. But Stern went along with a full endorsement in February, and the union invested
heavily in the general election -- though it probably played less of a role in key Rust Belt states than
the AFL-CIO did. A former SEIU official, Patrick Gaspard, was named Obama's political director.
Richard Hurd, a professor of labor relations at Cornell University, said it was doubtful SEIU would have
conspired with Blagojevich, because it knew how relatively weak his ties to Obama were and because it
was doubtful that Change to Win would hire him.
"They don't just create high-paying jobs like that. It doesn't even make sense. It sounds like someone's
pipe dream."
But, depending on what else emerges in Illinois, SEIU's role could affect labor's agenda, he said: "If
there turns out to be a connection with SEIU, it's not going to be a great thing for labor."
GREAT STUFF MARTOV!
ReplyDeleteSTERN AND THE SEIU ARE BIG BACKERS OF THE WORKING FAMILIES PARTY - AND THEY WERE BEHIND THE NEW PARTY, TOO.
Contrary to rW mythology though during the campaign the New Party of the 90's was a pretty dismal failure at buildfing a leftist third party see a book published by a leftist publisher, south end press on leftist 3rd parties, http://www.southendpress.org/2004/items/DemocracyUn
ReplyDeletehttp://www.southendpress.org/2004/items/DemocracyUn/Praise
I understand that Hillary Clinton used Obama's gun to kill Vince Foster. None dare call it conspiracy! Pass it on!
ReplyDeleteand what rw'ers like you fail to see since you are not on the Left is that Andy Stern is a perfect example of what the communist sector of the Left would call (and though i am a anti-Communist leftist rather hostile to Communists of any kind would agree) of a "class collaborationist opportunist" who thinks that there can be a deal between the capitalist class and the working class benefitting us proles when what is the case (and andy stern when he was in sds in the 60's knew this, as he knew it in the 70's when active in a small socialist group called the new american movement which merged with democratic socialists of america in '82 or so) is that there can be no social compact between the bourgeoisie and management and the proletarion masses, so take that mr. reactionary, heh ;-)
ReplyDeleteMARTOV - I CAN SEE YOU ARE A TRUE BELIEVER IN SOCIALISM.
ReplyDeleteI WA RAISED AS A SOCIALIST BY TWO CARD-CARRYING MEMBERS OF THE CP.
I KNOW BACKERS OF THE NEW PARTY, AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A SOCIALIST AS YOU COULD GET IN THE USA AT THE TIME.
THE SEIU PEOPLE WERE BEHIND IT - AS THEY ARE THE WORKING FAM PARTY.
SEIU WAS AN ORIGINAL BACKER OF OBAMA - WHO ONCE RAN ON THE NEW PARTY LINE.
NOT LEFT ENOUGH FOR YOU TRUE BELIEVERS BUT MUCH TOOOOO LEFT FOR MOST AMERICANS.
REZKO AND BLAGO GO WAY BACK - AS FAR BACK AS OBAMA AND REXKO.
REZKO'S CONVICTION CAME FOR SELLING JOBS IN BLOGO'S ADMINISTRATION.
THE SEIU WAS BROKERING A DEAL FOR BLOGO AND OBAMA ON THE SENATE SEAT.
THIS IS CORRUPT.
OBAMA IS A LEFTIE - LIKE BREZHNEV.
A CORRUPT ONE.
ONE DAY - WHEN YOU GROW UP, MARTOV - YOU WILL SEE THE LIGHT AND SEE LEFTISM IS A FAILURE AND IMMORAL AND ALL LEFISTS LEADERS CORRUPT.
GOOD LUCK.
I SAW THE LGIHT.
YOU CAN TOO.
BTW: I TOLD ALL MY SOCIALIST FRIENDS THAT KUCINICH WAS THE REAL THING AND OBAMA A CORRUPT PHONY.
BUT THEY WOULDN'T LISTEN.
THEY FELLATED OBAMA.
AND NOW WE'RE STUCK WITH HIM.
UNTIL HE'S INDICTED.
heh, in small letters not your CAPS WHICH IS SHOUTING DUDE, as one who travelled through the Stalinist paradise of the "German Democratic Republic, " and Czechoslovakia on a European tour in the summer of '79 as a "teenage Marxist"(get the joke, movie buff?) and who though only 18 at the time knew Brezhnev and all that squalid set of bureaucrats to be everything evil that the anti-Stalinist Left AND the anti-Communist Right said he was and the societies his stratum ruled over, since I had read Solzhenitsyn's volumes on the GULAG camp system, what you TYPE IN CAPS are obvious bromides...and as for UFO Kucinich, please the guy is a lunatic

POWER LINE:
Obama has been a loyal soldier in the Democrats' corrupt Cook County machine. Obama's first statewide campaign was as an adviser to Blagojevich. He endorsed Blagojevich for re-election and offered to campaign for him. In August 2006, the Associated Press quoted Obama saying, "We've got a governor in Rod Blagojevich who has delivered consistently on behalf of the people of Illinois."
No doubt Obama would now say that the Rod Blagojevich who tried to sell his vacant Senate seat "isn't the Rod Blagojevich I knew." Maybe it's time to take notice of the fact that Barack Obama is either 1) an astonishingly poor judge of character, or 2) a politician who swims comfortably and successfully in what must be America's most corrupt pond. This is, apparently, the "change" that millions of Americans voted for.
HERE'RE SOME CAPS FOR YOU: FUCK YOU AND YOUR LEFTIST HORSE.
THANKS TO YOU LEFTIES WE GOT FANNIE MAE AND THE MELTDOWN.
AND THE ARMS RACE.
AND MAO AND POL POT / HUGO / FIDEL/ MUGABE / KIM IL SUNG / KIM JONG IL / AND SO ON. ARAFAT WAS A LEFTIE, TOO. AHMADINEJAD IS A SOCIALIST, TOO.

Obama & Emanuel Are So Close With Blagojevich That They Led His Campaign For Governor
ReplyDeleteIllinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, taking an oath next to Barack Obama pre-2008, allegedly said, "I want to make money" off the power to pick Obama's Senate successor. (NY Post)
Rahm Emanuel said that he and Obama were top advisors to Blagojevich during his run for governor. The Roaring Republican reported:
Ryan Lizza reported in the New Yorker that Obama received “his first high-level experience in a statewide campaign” while advising Blagojevich during his campaign for governor. Additionally Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s current Chief-of-Staff also was a top strategist for that campaign. From the report:
He and Obama “participated in a small group that met weekly when Rod was running for governor,” Emanuel said. “We basically laid out the general election, Barack and I and these two.” A spokesman for Blagojevich confirmed Emanuel’s account...
The American public saw through the wingnut right's guilt-by-assocation garbage with Wright, Ayers, etc... and they'll see through this transparent effort to.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a little early for TAB to be helping bring about Obama's second term?
Skylights: Pretty "astute" observation on the machiavellian nature of what's currently occurring. Reliapundit's own words speak for them selves. Check out the archives for this blog before he deletes them or deletes this comment (Reliapundit loves him some censorship), particularly his "turnabout is fair play entries" and his post attempting to associate that marine's murder with Obama. Sad, sad stuff. It certainly places his "socialism" and recent "Blagovich" efforts in some important context.
