Hell, he has to pay them back somehow. I mean, without the support of the union bosses he might not be where he is today. What’s a little taxpayer money to union workers to pay them back?

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Friday issued an executive order backing the use of union labor for large-scale federal construction projects.

The order encourages federal agencies to have construction contractors and subcontractors enter project labor agreements. Those agreements require contractors to negotiate with union officials, recognize union wages and benefits and generally abide by collective-bargaining agreements…

It is the fourth union-friendly executive order that Obama has signed since he’s been in office, and one of about a dozen orders put in place by Bush that labor leaders have urged Obama to repeal.

“Project labor agreements are a win-win for everyone involved,” said James Hoffa, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. “Contractors get highly trained, skilled labor with fixed costs, and workers are fairly compensated with their rights and safety protected.”

The goal of this spending bill is, of course, to pay back Democratic supporters for getting Obama and Congressional Democrats into office. ACORN is even benefiting from the stimulus.
