The IAMAW "Leader" speaks

Tom Buffenbarger speech at Clinton rally.

This speaks for itself. What an idiot.

Both Buffenbarger and Roach are an embarrasement not only to IAMAW members, but to all union folks, regardless of affiliation.

Borrowed from this blog:

Hillary Clinton supporter Tom Buffenbarger, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, went off the deep end last night in true Zell Miller-esque fashion, as his introduction of Senator Clinton turned into a 12-minute tirade against Barack Obama.

Buffenbarger derisively dismissed Obama as a mere "wunderkind," a "man in love with the microphone," and "a poet, not a fighter." He repeatedly and pointedly called him "the junior senator from Illinois" (as if Hillary isn't the junior senator from New York?). He compared Obama to "Janus, the two-faced Roman god of ancient times." And then he really got going:

The Barack Show is playing to rave reviews, sold out on college campus after college campus, standing-room-only crowds to hear his silver-tongued oration. Hope! Change! Yes, we can! Give me a break! I've got news for all the latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust-fund babies crowding in to hear him speak! This guy won't last a round against the Republican attack machine!

Heh. But the most offensive and ridiculous line, IMHO, was Buffenbarger's blatantly anti-intellectual argument -- repeated twice -- that Obama can't "fight" for the working class because he was "the editor of the Harvard Law Review." I guess Hillary's stint as an editor of the Yale Review of Law and Social Action establishes her credentials as a real union stiff?

Here is one for old Buffoonenbarger: (BTW I do not have a choice for Prez yet)

Crap, haven't heard from 'Buffy for quite awhile.'

Thanks for the laughs

If I were to have a propensity to throw a swing vote 😛

I would vote, for, NOT Billery.

Let's hope and pray that there will be someone in the final election to actually be proud to vote for.

Not looking promising so far... 🙄

Wonder how IAM feels...looks for all intense purposes that they've backed a loser.But on the other hand,they backed U management too....

Instead of burning Obama for "polishing his speech," perhaps Buffenbarger should have polished his own speech.

He does not have to, he's an 'appointed' official of the IAM.

I think the proper term for them is "unelected" :down:
