Our friend Seth Borden has a nice article about Senator Barack Obama’s relationship with organized labor. Seth points to an article in the Investors’ Business Daily, in which the Senator makes his relationship pretty clear:

"So I owe those unions. When their leaders call, I do my best to call them back right away," he wrote, adding, "I don't consider this corrupting in any way. . . . I got into politics to fight for these folks, and I'm glad a union is around to remind me of their struggles."
