the union's view legislative bit dense and the appointment as labor secretary hilda solis, who is very sympathetic to the unions. obama has failed to embrace their agenda. he said if it passes he will sign it, but it does not sound like he has been enthusiastic about getting it passed. guest: he has not been enthusiastic at all. during the campaign in states like pennsylvania where there were a lot of union voters, he was all gung-ho for employee free trade act. he promised to support it when he was president. he just has not delivered. i spoke to a member of the u.s. chamber of commerce who is against the bill. his point on this was accurate. this is a divisive issue. obama does not see it as a legacy issue like health care or the economy or some other issues that he wants to work on that he sees as more important. frankly, i think supporting unionization from the broader economy is a hard thing to do, but that is his calculation. this will split the senate and make a lot of people mad. obama doesn't like to make people mad. he has not fought for the bill and it has been disappointing
