Anonymous attack from White House on labor backfiring big time

That attack from the White House had backfire written all over it from the moment that I read it in the news. Nothing like another Dem President kicking his base in a move that will curry no favor from anyone on any side of any aisle.
As for the tuna post... With the amount of oil gushing there, still, it will probably hurt their breeding cycle for years to come... If they manage to survive this man made disaster.
And cool!
"Dr Christian Ramp and colleagues of the Mingan Island Cetacean Study group based in St Lambert, Canada have been studying whales in the Gulf of St Lawrence since 1997."
I grew up in St. Lambert. Seems to me they might actually see more whales if they headed up towards Gaspe, though, rather than hanging in the 'burbs of Montreal? lol :)
