"And understand this: If American workers are being denied their right to organize and collectively bargain when I’m in the White House, I will put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself, I’ll will walk on that picket line with you as President of the United States of America. Because workers deserve to know that somebody is standing in their corner."

Item #52 on the list of progressives disappointed by Obama's not walking the walk.

A guess: the risk of Republicans gaining a 2012 talking point of 'big bad socialist federal government stomping on states' rights' if Obama gets involved.

We haven't had a liberal President since Carter, and he was no FDR.
