How I could support Obama
Via a US News article on the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF):
If Barack would make that same deal with me, he'll have my vote. Unfortunately, I don't think that offer is on the table.According to an internal memo, a recent independent poll shows that members
rated Obama higher on "pocketbook" issues and, overall, believe that "Obama has
a better record or will be a better president when it comes to fire service,
labor, and IAFF issues," according to union president Harold Schaitberger. And
that includes, most importantly, he said, Obama's support for collective
bargaining "and his opposition to mandatory Social Security for our
members."
