BillD,

"I don't see much that Obama has done to please them."

Oh? You seem to have your eyes shut. Look at his payoffs to the unions- re GM alone.

As a stockholder, I get nothing.

The Union got 20some percent.

Stockholders represented a much larger amount of the investment in GM, but got the shaft. Union ( that paid heavily into Obama'a campaign) got a big payoff.

Show me ANY example of a payoff of that magnitude in relation to the Bush administration.
