Obama Radical Big Labor Nominee Loses Vote – Sen. Brown Votes No

Thanks to numerous BigGovernment.com readers taking action, along with other concerned Americans, several national organizations, and Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) hold on Obama’s NLRB Nominee Craig Becker — several senators changed their positions and voted with the senate’s newest Senator, Scott Brown (R-MA) to continue debate on Becker’s qualifications to serve as one of five National Relations Board Members.

President Barack Obama’s nomination of Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board has failed on a 52-33 vote. The nomination required 60 votes to proceed. (Politico)

The two Democrat Senators who voted against cloture are Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and Ben Nelson (D-NE).

CAUTION

Though Craig Becker’s was put on hold as a result of the cloture vote; President Obama may still appoint Becker to national Labor relations Board as a recess appointment to the Board as early as February 15^th if congress keeps its current schedule.

However, Sen. Harry Reid’s focus and use of valuable legislative time on Big Labor paybacks like Craig Becker and Patricia Smith combined with the DC snowstorms may force Reid to call off the February recess to refocus on JOBS; well at least, his Big Labor Jobs Program.
