Great orator Obama doesn't want to talk about NLRB-Boeing

That great orator, President Obama, promised a "new kind of politics" when he ran for office three years ago.

Well, there's something he doesn't want "orate" about. The NLRB's attack on Boeing.

From USA Today:

President Obama and aides don't want to talk much about a big legal dispute between Boeing and labor unions.

"I don't know all the facts," Obama said at this week's news conference. "That's going to be up to a judge to decide."

That echoes comments aides have made about a flap that in many ways pits Obama's top political priority -- more jobs -- against some of his biggest political backers, labor unions.

Republicans have made a cause celebre of the recent decision by the National Labor Relations Board blocking Boeing from opening an airplane plant in South Carolina.
