Rough road ahead for Obama, unions as compromises loom
President Obama and labor unions are entering a new and difficult stretch in their relationship as the White House looks to find common ground with Republicans on issues like trade and the deficit.

Unions praised Obama this week for insisting that talks continue on a free trade agreement with South Korea after negotiators failed to win concessions from that country on automobiles.

But union sources say that praise is tentative, given that the talks are continuing and Obama has made it clear he wants to present a deal to Congress.

Labor is decidedly more concerned about how Obama will proceed with the recommendations from his debt commission. The two chairmen of that body this week proposed sweeping reforms, including changes to Social Security that would lower benefits. Unions blasted the recommendations as an assault on workers.

Reminds me of Simon Cameron's wonderful aphorism:

An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.

The Unions thought they had assured an ascent to power and now they are finding that their "made man" is a clueless ninny with no comprehension of what he is doing. A wonderful moment of Schadenfreude...
