OBAMA - INDEBTED TO THE UNIONS!

Dear Conservatives,

With all the attention on the Republican National Convention this week, I thought I'd release a reminder about the Democrat incumbent.

Barack Obama wasn't shy when he was running for President that he "owes" the union bosses.

In my latest column at The Daily Caller, I've compiled a list of what Big Labor has received for its Billion Dollar bet on Obama. Here's a sample:

1. Hiding union boss expenditures. Obama started his term strong. Shortly after getting elected, Obama appointed forced-unionism partisan Hilda Solis to run the Department of Labor. Solis, in combination with numerous Obama executive orders, promptly rolled back any (albeit modest) progress in union boss transparency and disclosure that had been made the prior eight years. Now it is even more difficult for workers to know where their forced dues dollars are being spent.

2. Neutering the watchdog. Obama’s first budget slashed funding for the Office of Labor and Management Standards (OLMS), the federal agency that enforces union disclosure laws. It’s one of the few areas of the budget that Obama has proposed cutting.

3. Fox guarding the henhouse. Obama appointed union lawyer Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the federal agency that administers and enforces federal labor law. Becker was never confirmed by the U.S. Senate because of bipartisan opposition to his nomination. Obama appointed him to the NLRB via recess appointment.
