Has any other president...?

Question

...had as many law suits filed against them as Obama has so far?

The latest law suit is NRTW Sues Obama Administration Over Disclosure Refusals dealing with the Unions.

(This is only part of the article)

On the campaign trail in 2008 and since he took office in January, Barack Obama has repeatedly made promises of a new era of openness and transparency.

So just how closely has Obama Administration stuck to that promise? It hasn’t, at least not at the Department of Labor (DOL).

Yesterday, the National Right to Work Foundation filed a federal lawsuit to compel the DOL to release information related to high-ranking officials’ contact with union operatives.

The suit seeks disclosure of high-ranking DOL officials’ connections to powerful union lobbying interests. Conflicts of interest appear to exist with regard to Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, who previously held a key leadership position at the Big Labor-front group “American Rights at Work,” and Deborah Greenfield, a DOL appointee who previously worked with the AFL-CIO to overturn the same union disclosure guidelines she now oversees.


At another part of the article it reads:

SEIU Union Boss to Boy Scout: How Dare You Serve Your Community

Union bosses will do whatever it takes to line their pockets – including threatening to file grievances against Boy Scouts for serving their communities and reducing the “need” for forcibly unionized government jobs. A Pennsylvania union boss railed against an eagle scout for cleaning up a public trail, and threatened to file legal actions.

Union Bullies Boy Scout for Dastardly Good Deed

A 17-year-old Boy Scout worked more than 200 hours to clear a path in his local park so that people could enjoy walking and biking along the river.



Bad move Boy Scout. Now grown men who didn’t get around to doing it for a paycheck are after you.



Kevin Anderson, a junior at Southern Lehigh High School, a varsity soccer player and a Boy Scout hoping to get his Eagle Scout badge, spent 250 hours over several weeks creating a path on the partially complete 165-mile Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor that runs through Kimmets Lock Park in Allentown, reports The Morning Call.



"I decided to do my part in completing this part of the trail. In that way, others could enjoy walking along the river, without having to walk on the busy road," Anderson said in an e-mail, says The Morning Call.



But once the city’s municipal union caught wind of this do-gooder breath of fresh air, it put up a stink at Tuesday’s city council meeting. Nick Balzano, president of the local Service Employees International Unions said its considering filing a grievance against the city for allowing such good, free-of-charge, work to happen.



"We'll be looking into the Cub Scout or Boy Scout who did the trails," Balzano told the council, reports The Morning Call.



Anderson’s act of carving out a 1,000-foot path is not seen as good community service by the union because it was the only group to suffer layoffs in the city’s current financial downturn.



"We would hope that the well-intentioned efforts of an Eagle Scout candidate would not be challenged by the union," said Mayor Ed Pawlowski in an e-mail Friday. "This young man is performing a great service to the community. His efforts should be recognized as such."

Answer 3

yes, boy george had tons of lawsuits filed under the Freedom of Information Act, mostly because he was so against transparency the suits were necessary. And denigrating unions is folly, as history has shown it was union organization that led to a higher standard of living among all americans, not just union members. No, i belong to no union, and i oftentimes think they wrong, but the fact remains, unions have done more good than bad--much more. Read about their formation and draw your own conclusions, if you can, it's always better to do your own thinking, rather than to let others do it for you.

Answer 4

Obama's problem is he thinks he is king, not president. There are laws the President has to follow as well.

Answer 5

Republicans will do absolutely anything to destroy the president. It would be strange if Obama weren't sued thousands of times. It's in their genes.

Answer 6

This administration is a complete JOKE!

Answer 7

Its a tactic to keep him from doing his job and waste money.

A typical neocon move.

They're just biding their time until they can create something to use as grounds for impeachment.

Answer 8

When you try to change things for the better, people are going to get mad at you. Fact of life.

Answer 9

This is the kind of hissy fit cons like to pitch when they have no political power or support. Obama is not named as a defendant in any of those fraudulent suits.



Remember cons wasted 8 years making crazy accusations against Clinton but after 8 years and $50 million tax dollars wasted all they found out was that Clinton likes BJs.



You = LOSE.

Answer 10

It sure would be nice to see your sources.

Answer 12

More to come.

Answer 13

Answer 14

No other President has had whiny Teabaggers to deal with.

Answer 15

Hard right wingers stuck in old beliefs. They fear change and don't know what they're talking about.
