"Now that theyre not working at the White House, some of the biggest names from the Obama campaigns Plouffe, Messina, Gibbs, LaBolt are working against unions."
"WASHINGTON President Obamas innovative, take-no-prisoners campaigns crafted an elite force of operatives, skilled in the political arts. Now that theyre done helping Obama, however, it appears they have a new goal: weakening and defeating organized labor.
On Tuesday, Obamas former top White House adviser and 2008 campaign manager David Plouffe signed on with Uber, the company known for its slick app and on-demand cars and efforts to break taxi-union holds on urban transportation.
Plouffe joins former top Obama campaign and White House communications strategist Robert Gibbs and Obamas national press secretary for the 2012 campaign Ben LaBolt, who are using their talents in a campaign against the power of teachers unions.
Along with them is Obamas 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina, who went to London to work for the reelection of Englands Conservative Party government, which is campaigning on a platform that includes new rules English labor says would make it close to impossible to go on strike."

You can get more work that way with a career like that.

(55,981 posts)Advisers are chosen because their ideologies parallel those of the President. The President is a conservative. Almost all of his appointments are conservatives.

They have zero principles or scruples.
They have zero loyalty to any cause.
Their quest is for money and power.
