Barack Obama | Labor Day Message | Labor Unions | The Daily Caller: President Barack Obama took his re-election campaign on the road again Monday with a short partisan speech in Detroit aimed at reversing his sagging support among union households, blue collar workers and swing state Midwest voters.
Obama cited Democratic President Harry Truman’s come-from-behind presidential victory in 1948, lambasted GOP leaders for their criticism of unions, and declared that unions are “the cornerstone of the middle class … America cannot have a strong, growing economy without a strong, growing middle class and without a strong labor movement.”
Obama’s speech tried to showcase his financial support for the auto industry and his support from union allies, including AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.
