Your subconscious bias is so strong you don't even know when it's happening.

From the article you posted, Spence...

""the White House looked at several ways to make the union plans eligible for subsidies "

Spence, maybe it was the Treasury Dept who told the unions "no". That was after the White House attempted to find a way to give the unions what they wanted.

You are acting as if the immediate answer was "no, that wouldn't be fair". If that were the case, I would commend the President for that. But according to you own source, the White House wanted to give the unions a kickback. And it's that fact, which clearly shows that Obama, despite his campaign promises, wants to give kickbacks to his political allies.

Now you're just making things up.

Again Spence, a direct quote from the link that you posted...

"the White House looked at several ways to make the union plans eligible for subsidies "

Absolutely, I luv the guy.

What I don't luv, is that his vote counts the same as mine...
