If You Were Running For President Would You Want The UAW On Your Side?

UAW President Bob King, defending the 2009 auto industry bailouts before a national television audience, said the government-financed bankruptcies of General Motors and Chrysler weren't "universally popular" but were "absolutely right."

CarMax co-founder Austin Ligon joined in the effort, touting the government's 2009 cash-for-clunkers program.

King, speaking Wednesday night to delegates at the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., said a rejuvenated auto industry is leading the nation's economic recovery.

That's a tricky question, because the people who aspire to be politicians don't have the same scruples that normal people do. They'll whore themselves in any way to get elected, be that with unions, "family values" groups, gay & lesbian rights groups, the religious right...anywhere where the vote is.

Guru Steve says the people who get elected excel at one thing only: Getting elected!
