AP is reporting this afternoon that former SEIU leader Andy Stern is under investigation by the FBI and Department of Labor in connection with certain alleged no-show jobs he is said to have created at the union. No show jobs at labor unions are violations of federal law. As you may recall, Stern resigned his position at SEIU a few months ago saying that he wanted to spend more time with his family. This news certainly would indicate another potential reason for the resignation. Of course, Stern remains one of President Obama's principal confidants. Andy Stern is a member of the deficit commission (how funny is that) and some other presidential advisory boards. My guess is that he may be resigning those posts soon as well.
I find it very interesting that SEIU and ACORN who were Obama's biggest boosters in 2008 have now both gotten themselves into potential legal problems. Isn't it great the way the Democrats ended the culture of corruption? What do we have now? The ruling kleptocracy? The theocracy of thievery? The robbery republic?
