The list of worker abuses by Hyatt Hotels is so big that if it were a person, it would most likely be compared to Ricardo Blas Jr., at 481 lbs, the largest athlete competing in London, or to an NFL lineman.

The rest of the news today seems to be revolving ‘round Romey. Here are some highlights.
“Romney, who has run a militantly anti-union campaign (even airing television commercials that promote so-called "right-to-work" laws and assaults on public employees),” met with a former labor-backed Polish president to gain support in union friendly states with large Polish populations, such as Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. Problem is, Poland’s largest labor union rebuked Romney, pointing out its continued support of American labor unions in their stand against the GOP’s attacks.

This is the second week in a row the Fact Checker has had to examine how the Romney campaign is misusing one of the president’s quotes. With all the job creating experience Romney touted in the GOP primary, we at least expected to hear something regarding his plans to put people back to work. Guess we will have to settle for a campaign against the president’s grammatical errors instead.

Considering John McCain said that Sarah Palin would be a better candidate than Romney in the 2008 race, we can’t wait to see who Mitt picks for his running mate. From known union busters to the mastermind behind George W. Bush’s economic policy, the potential VP field is packed with politicians whose political bent is for the 1 percent.
