R/31; –the language is, the gov’t-paid nurse training is thru hospitals, and is only available to hospitals that have contracts with SEIU.

I know –doesn’t sound possible does it. yet that’s exactly what some of the better newsfolk analyst types were evincing some shock over, during the wkend.

Andy Stern, a long, long, longtime associate of Bill Ayres, is the president of SEIU. When the White House finally broke down and acceded to practice and published the visitors list awhile back, Andy Stern had logged in 22 visits –most of which, it was reported, were closed door meetings with Obama (as of the list’s cutoff, which iirc was already some few months past-current when the list was released a couple weeks ago).

brings to mind: the hush hush scandal of underfunded union pension plans –could half of the 20 largest unions really be underfunded by up to half? THIS may be why Andy Stern gave Obama’s campaign $400,000,000 of his rank and files’ hard-earned money, and the reason he keeps dragging Obama off into private skull sessions. Stern wants to take over some or all of the other unions, it is said, and is trying to ‘show power’ –possibly via the ObamaCare bill (half the SEIU rank and file are healthcare workers).

Of course, if unions weren’t a third of the media-DNC-unions Tammany-like troika, the media would be screaming bloody murder about an underfunded pension problem of such magnitude.
