A surreal fog hangs over U.S. labor unions' enthusiastic endorsement
of Barack Obama. When AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka
announced the labor federation's recent endorsement, the
exaggerated pro-Obama comments likely surprised union members
everywhere. Has President Trumka paid any attention to the labor
