I'm not a fan of Obama at all but this was caused by a strike not Obama.
Well the strike happened because the Union was asking for more pay because of the bad economy. But this has going on before Obama so I agree with you on that. A bad economy was going to happened regardless of which president would've been elected.

"I don't want to lose my job. It's Christmas time," said 23-year-old Daniel Smith, who makes $11.64 an hour at the plant. "But if I have to take the cuts they're talking about I can get more from unemployment."

...and there you have it. 18,000 new Obama supporters were created today. Go UNIONS! YAY!
