Pres. Obama Should Be An Audacious Advocate For The Unions

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on March 11, 2011, signed a bill into law that will end most of the rights of state employee unions. It seems as if a certain segment of the U.S. population will not be happy until the employer/employee dynamic is what it was in the late 1800's. What has been surprising is Pres. Obama's near silence of the situation in WI. No groups were as supportive of then candidate Sen. Obama in 2008, other than Obama's own political machine, than ACORN and the unions. Pres. Obama owns a debt to these groups, but it appears he has thrown them under the bus. Pres. Obama, since he has been in office, has not mentioned the bill to allow anyone to form a union, Employee Free Choice Act, let alone fight for it. Pres. Obama seems to have sat back and watched the Republicans destroy ACORN. Now it seems he is sitting back and watching once again as the Republicans destroy the unions. Pres. Obama should be an audacious advocate for the unions. He promised while campaigning in 2007 that he would put on a pair of comfortable shoes and picket with the unions. Maybe the Pres. couldn't find a pair of comfortable shoes because he has yet to join Michael Moore, Ed Shultz, and the unions in WI in the picket lines. I am not an endorser of unions. Picketing and protesting is contrary to the Islamic methodology. However,I desire for Pres. Obama to support the unions because in this slavery driven capitalist society, unions are currently the only way for the worker to receive some semblance of justice. Pres. Obama needs to fight as hard as he possibly can to protect the rights of the workers. I pray to Al 'Ala (The Most High) that Pres. Obama will be on the side of justice and stand with the people.
