AFSCME head Gerry McEntee takes on Obama’s White House (count us out) 10-17-09.

The president of one of America’s largest labor unions, Gerry McEntee, has emerged as a major obstacle to the White House’s efforts to maintain a unified front in the health care debate.

The veteran president of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) has crossed lines that few labor leaders – even those who quietly agree with him – would go near.

McEntee led workers in chanting a barnyard epithet to describe Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus’s health care bill, which would levy a new tax on expensive health care plans. He published an op-ed in U.S.A. Today warning, in terms that could be used against Democrats in the midterms, that the plan could tax the middle class and cost workers their health care. And he blew off a plea from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and published an open letter promising to “oppose” legislation that contained the tax – published over the objections, several labor officials said, of other union presidents whose names appeared on the letter.

“We have had just about enough of his gratuitous slaps,” said a senior White House official Friday, calling the politically charged language “outrageous and unacceptable” from an ally — even from one that had, the official noted, devoted substantial resources to health care efforts.

Do you believe the nerve of these Aholes in the Obama WH?!  "We've had just about enought of this..."   What does that mean?  Will McEntee be fitted with an iron mask and thrown in a rat filled dungeon?  The folks in O's wh don't have enough sense to PRETEND to support American values and rights ...like free speech.

BTW, AFSCME, under McEntee's leadership endorsed HILLARY in 2008.

FreeSpirit, these people put a foreigner in the White House!  Do you know what kind of power that indicates?  And not even a qualified foreigner!  One who is a clueless, nasty #@%&$%#smile.gif!!  And Congress sits by and does nothing!  I'm sure they think they could do ANYTHING and get away with it at this point.

Oh, they are soooo wrong.evileye

Obama probably wants him beheaded with a dull knife. These people don't know the difference between a constitutional repulic and a dictatorship, they're making enemies wherever they go and that will have consequences.

stamp that!!

The thing that scares me most is that they are getting away with it.  None of the socialist party, erm, democrats, seem willing to do the right thing.

I am glad to see the Union stand up to Obama and his thinking he can just run all over people.
