I am watching MSNBC right now and the ticker at the bottom says: "President Obama urges the CEO's to hire the long term unemployed."

That is probably the most fruitless effort anyone can take. He should not waste his time. Those CEO's are not going to pay any attention to that at all. None, zero, nada!

So he either knows that, and is just saying that for public consumption, or he is very naïve.

The message of the article was: "the poor people lost". Unions are LOSING members, not gaining them. Unions are a non-factor in all but teaching and public employment.
