You would generally expect a presidential candidate to be wishy washy in commenting on something as controversial as the GM strike. To his credit: Senator Obama has taken a stand, and he's come out firmly in favor of the UAW. Here's what he had to say (as published in the Detroit Free Press.)
I stand with the 73,000 United Automobile Workers who are striking. ... The
demands the union is fighting for -- job security, the health benefits they were
promised -- are things that all workers should expect and that UAW members
deserve. General Motors owes it to the UAW to come back to the bargaining table
so that union members can go back to work.-Senator Barack Obama
