Teamsters endorse Obama

The Teamsters Union today endorsed President Obama for re-election with the enthusiastic support of 1,500 members gathered at the annual Unity Conference.

Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa threw the question out to the assembled Teamsters:

Do we want to endorse Barack Obama for president?


The response: A resounding "yes" and a standing ovation.
