Obama priming for Big Labor?

Even more layoffs and closures over the past few days...here's a sample...

• Texas Instruments to cut 1,700 jobs to reduce costs
• Denny's to charge 5% 'Obamacare surcharge' and cut employee hours to deal with cost of legislation
• Merillat to close its two Atkins plants
• GameStop Plans to Close 200 Money-Losing Outlets
• Hostess Brand to Liquidate, Lay Off 18,500
• Wal-Mart Workers' Black Friday Strike
• Banks may shrink for good as layoffs near 160,000

Besides more government dependency, anybody suspect that Obama might be priming the economy for more public sector union infusion? Obama did just meet with the union thuggery, I mean, leadership.

Addressing the Hostess liquidation, Jennifer Rubin has a different take on it...

Is there any wonder (pardon the pun) that Big Labor is at a low point in membership and public support? The notion that it’s better to send 18,500 people to the unemployment lines and dissolve — not merely sell, but break up and eviscerate — a venerated company is the sort of zero-sum mentality that should send American workers fleeing from organized labor.

I don't know...maybe it's the same phenomenon as people shouting for more individual expression (i.e., liberty) then running to Big Government for it!

ADDENDUM: Laughable. AFL-CIO thug Richard Trumka blames Bain Capital for Hostess' liquidation after union workers bled the company dry...don't let his rhetoric fool ya, he knows it was the union's fault too!
