Does Obama have corporate sponsors or not? My friend and I were talking about how all of these endorsements can lead to a conflict of interests. Whose agenda do you really push if you're being funded by corporations AND labor unions? The interest of the corporations directly conflicts with that of the labor unions in most regards. Even when workers and labor unions are having their demands met, it is still in the best interest of corporate profit and capitalism. So that is one thing that some of us question when it comes to politics.

The only reason I'm asking this about Obama specifically is because his supporters basically had a parade when he was endorsed by the labor union.

I thought the Teamsters was a really big deal.....now I am wondering....

Eh--all of this stuff is only as important as we make it.

I wasn't moved either way, except that it made my eyebrow raise. You can't be everything to everybody.
