may happen, but better yet will be how many democrats use this come the next election cycle if things aren't better... Dear voter we are sorry you are still unemployed and have lost everything but your republican congressman did his damnedest to make sure we couldn't put through any people or measure to make sure that happened. They wanted to screw you to keep lining their pockets, please don't vote for them ever again...
I live in a city in which one of the largest businesses has had workers who have been trying to join a union for several years. Management, of course, bitterly opposes this.While I can see valid arguments on both sides, one thing is clear. Management has intimidated some openly pro-union workers. That must stop. Workers must be free to determine whether to unionize without interference of management.

So maybe Obama needs to take a page out of Bush's book and do a recess appointment.

This is more proof that the GOP is the party of corporatism & does not represent the majority of Americans, just the rich elitist ones.
