Americans oppose Obama regulations, especially those from the NLRB

Obama claims he is focused on jobs. But his White House cares more about job-killing regulations. But ordinary Americans are wising up.

From Fred Wszolek writing for Townhall:

But anti-regulatory sentiment is best reflected in response to the NLRB's complaint against the Boeing Company for opening a new non-union facility in the right-to-work state of South Carolina. According to the Tarrance Group, "78 percent of voters side with Boeing in agreeing that a business should be able to open a facility in any state, and that the government should not be involved in the decision about where Boeing or any company locates new plants."

The result of the Tarrance poll is fully supported by this week's Rasmussen poll that demonstrates the depth of the opposition to Obama's labor board with 59 percent of union members agreeing that Boeing should be able to operate its South Carolina plant.

It appears that President Obama is in tune, at least rhetorically, with the sentiment of the American people. He recently stated in his address to a joint session of Congress that "[w]e should have no more regulation than the health, safety, and security of the American people require."

Yet when it comes time to stand up for workers and businesses, the president's words are hollow and he is nowhere to be found. Instead, union bosses seem to be calling the shots. American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) President Richard Trumka even brags about speaking with someone from the White House every day, including weekends.
