Blackmailing California: Obama’s Payback is a Bitch (for the taxpayer)

On Friday, I ran the post Mafia-style President Pays Back His SEIU Muscle, Puts the Screws to Calif.

This is corruption on an immense national scale.

Much needed cuts were made in February to the SEIU, the unionized home health care workers, as
part of the budget approved by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and state
lawmakers.

The Service Employees International Union, which represents the
workers,
said in a statement that it had asked the Obama administration to
intervene.

SEIU and Obama on Obama’s own website:

“SEIU’s members are temperamentally suited to Obama; he
is a longtime friend of Chicago’s SEIU Local 880 and worked closely
with the union as an organizer and later as a state legislator.”

SEIU paid for door-to-door canvassing for Obama, voter identification and registration, phonebanks…an expenditures document.

Atlas reader Laura S. provided updated figures for the obscene sums that SEIU spent on getting Obama elected. I under reported the $13,355,389.00  in dirty money paid to Obama during the election.

All the  figures are right off the FEC site.

SEIU spent $18,818,358.97 through December of 2008 on
behalf of Obama.
$13 million dollar figure was only through
August/2008–actually SEIU spent $18,818,358.97 through December of 2008 on
behalf of Obama.  Total on FEC site.  I did not add it myself.

This does not include the $$$ SEIU spent against McCain.
