Obama '08?

Also, you are misstating WHY they are blocking the appointment.

I would not mind seeing a timetable for accepting responsibility. Is there some time, or some event after which the Democrats are going to take responsibility for the state of the economy?

The message from the unelected bureaucrats at Obama's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to American workers couldn't be more clear: sit down and shut up.

Last week three Boeing employees, with free legal aid from Foundation staff attorneys, filed a motion to intervene in the NLRB's outrageous case against Boeing for creating thousands of new jobs in Right to Work South Carolina rather than forced-unionism Washington State.

At the urging of the NLRB's Acting General Counsel, an administrative law judge has denied their motion to intervene -- effectively telling the workers, "You have no stake in your jobs."

Incredibly, even though the Acting General Counsel is seeking to force Boeing to move over 1,000 jobs from South Carolina, the administrative law judge ruled that the Boeing workers who would lose their jobs have no "legitimate direct interest" in the outcome of the case.

Foundation attorneys have already appealed with the full NLRB and filed a motion with the judge to stay proceedings until the Board rules on the appeal.

But rest assured, even if the Obama appointees stonewall on these requests, your Foundation will not relent.

We will pursue every opportunity in the press and the legal process to expose this case for what it is: the latest outrageous example of political payback by the Obama Administration to the Big Labor bosses who spent hundreds of millions of dollars in 2008 getting Obama elected.

"This is our Wisconsin," one IAM union official told the press, inadvertently revealing it's once again all about Big Labor's lust for forced dues.

Government-sector union bosses threw a tantrum in Wisconsin after Governor Scott Walker pushed for and ultimately signed a Right to Work law for most government workers, cutting off the forced-dues pipeline that corrupts the political process.

But due to South Carolina's popular and longstanding Right to Work law, IAM union brass can't seize a dime from the Boeing workers in Charleston.

That's why the IAM union hierarchy is asking the NLRB to move those jobs 3,000 miles away to Washington State.

And if that's not bad enough, if the NLRB rubber stamps this despicable union-boss greed, job providers across the country could be forced to get approval from union bosses before they expand their businesses.

It's a blatant attack on the rights of workers and businesses alike.

And as the economy continues to struggle, it's the last thing we need.

"If I lose my job, my family will be devastated," explained Dennis Murray, one of the Boeing workers seeking to intervene.

But Big Labor and the Obama Administration don't want Murray and other Boeing workers to tell their story.

You laughed your butts off, because Mark Steyn doesn't know what he's talking about; it's all blather with nary a solution for the current economic problems. That's easy! Easy to complain when you're not the one under the gun to find solutions for all that ails this country.

McKibben noted that solar panels at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue weren't an entirely new idea. In June 1979, Jimmy Carter became the first president to install solar panels, remarking that he thought the solar devices would remain a useful fixture at the White House well into the 2000s. But when Ronald Reagan took office, he brought in a new set of ideas about energy and quickly ridding the White House roof of the solar devices.

The Energy Department remains on the path to complete the White House solar demonstration project, in keeping with our commitment, and we look forward to sharing more information -- including additional details on the timing of this project -- after the competitive procurement process is completed.
