It's On Girl!

AFL-CIO president Richart Trumpka just said that Obama has aligned himself with the teabaggers:

The most powerful union official in the country offered reporters his harshest critique of President Obama to date Thursday, questioning Obama's policy and strategic decisions, and claiming he aligned himself with the Tea Party in the debt limit fight.

"This is a moment that working people and quite frankly history will judge President Obama on his presidency; will he commit all his energy and focus on bold solutions on the job crisis or will he continue to work with the Tea Party to offer cuts to middle class programs like Social Security all the while pretending the deficit is where our economic problems really lie," AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka told reporters at a breakfast roundtable hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

Trumka dismissed Obama's recent job creation proposals -- an extended payroll tax cut, patent reform, free trade deals -- as "nibbly things that aren't going to make a difference," and said the AFL-CIO might sit out the Democratic convention if he and the party don't get serious.

"If they don't have a jobs program I think we'd better use our money doing other things," Trumka said.

I do not think that Barack Obama has the slightest clue just how disappointed his "base" is with him, and if he did, I think that he would be dismissive of the fact.

Get ready for President Bachmann. (honest to God, how did the 'Phants find someone scarier than Sarah Palin?)
