Now attacking Obama, why did the Pro-Clinton AFSCME Pres. denounce healthcare mandates in April?

[TeamJordan23]

Makes you wonder you really is behind the AFSCME negative attack ads; especially when their Pro-Hillary President was against healthcare mandates in April. And now they have attack fliers against Obama for same issue and pretending it to be from the Edwards campaign.

The dissident union members, indeed, pointed out that AFSCME's national health care resolution passed earlier this year declared that individual mandates are "incompatible" with the principles and interests of the union membership.

And in congressional testimony last April, AFSCME President Gerald McEntee also denounced individual mandates as they would force families to "pay much higher prices" for health care policies.

But AFSCME President McEntee is a long-time loyal supporter of the Clintons and though his union went through an extended process of internal consultation before acting it was a foregone conclusion that it would eventually put its heft into Hillary Clinton's corner. He was an early supporter of President Bill Clinton's candidacy and emerged as the most important pro-Clinton labor leader during the 1990's.
