Obama is found of saying that he will usher in a new era of bipartisanship and bridge the divide between the parties. But it is worth asking: why didn’t he do so it in the three years in the Senate and with each passing year move farther from the political center? Did he ever cross swords with any liberal special interest group or reject the entreaties of Big Labor? If his record on union issues (e.g. opposing the Colombia Free Trade Agreement, favoring repeal of NAFTA and seeking repeal of secret ballot union elections) gives you any hint the answer is: never.For Obama's amazing connection to socialist Senator Bernie Sanders,click on this.
