Why is SEIU union boss the most frequent visitor to the White House?
Why is the boss of the big SEIU union the most frequent visitor to see President Barack Obama? What goes on at those meetings?
[As a registered Democrat, I received a solicitation the other day, from President Barack Obama, to give money to help the Democratic National Committee. It said:
“Your support today is critical to the DNC’s ‘Organizing for America’ project, which is dedicated to fighting the entrenched Washington vested interests with the most powerful tool there is — real people. That’s why I am counting on you to help me CHANGE [his emphasis] politics as usual.”
Another part of the letter:
“I don’t need to tell you that we are up against corporations and lobbyists who are used to getting their own way — with hefty profits at stake.”
I guess the big unions don’t count as lobbyists, especially when they don’t need to walk the lobbies — they find themselves very welcome in the White House in personal meetings with the President.]
