If Obama backs down in the face of this Hoffa thing, I am going to lose my fucking mind.

In addressing the crowd before Obama’s appearance, Hoffa said there has been a war on workers. “And you see it everywhere, it is the tea party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people is we like a good fight. And you know what? They’ve got a war, they got a war with us and there’s only going to be one winner. It’s going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. We’re going to win that war.”

Hoffa added: “President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these son of a b----- out and give America back to an America where we belong.”

The Tea Party, and by that I mean the GOP, is demanding an apology from Obama over these comments.

Hoffa was 100% correct in everything he said, down to the last word.

If an apology is issued, I'm going to be sick. An apology will perfectly encapsulate everything wrong about this administration's approach to the "loyal" opposition.
