This article, if true, is very disturbing for progressives to understand.

"Now that they’re not working at the White House, some of the biggest names from the Obama campaigns — Plouffe, Messina, Gibbs, LaBolt — are working against unions."

"WASHINGTON — President Obama’s innovative, take-no-prisoners campaigns crafted an elite force of operatives, skilled in the political arts. Now that they’re done helping Obama, however, it appears they have a new goal: weakening and defeating organized labor.

On Tuesday, Obama’s former top White House adviser and 2008 campaign manager David Plouffe signed on with Uber, the company known for its slick app and on-demand cars — and efforts to break taxi-union holds on urban transportation.

Plouffe joins former top Obama campaign and White House communications strategist Robert Gibbs and Obama’s national press secretary for the 2012 campaign Ben LaBolt, who are using their talents in a campaign against the power of teacher’s unions.

Along with them is Obama’s 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina, who went to London to work for the reelection of England’s Conservative Party government, which is campaigning on a platform that includes new rules English labor says would make it “close to impossible” to go on strike."

1. Hell they were fighting unions when they were in the administration...

Now they're just getting paid more to do so.

2. No surprise. Political advisers are rarely activists.

They simply do their job without subscribing to any particular ideology.

You can get more work that way with a career like that.

4. Where in the world did you come up with that?

Advisers are chosen because their ideologies parallel those of the President. The President is a conservative. Almost all of his appointments are conservatives.

3. They behave just like mercenaries.

Their services can be attained by the highest bidder.

They have zero principles or scruples.

They have zero loyalty to any cause.

Their quest is for money and power.
