Laborers’ International Union president: if Obamacare is not fixed, then “it needs to be repealed.”

Obama is quickly losing labor support for his train wreck signature piece of legislation. Frankly speaking, they were idiots to support it in the 1st place. They trusted Obama and democrats to give them a sweet deal, but the quick underhanded way democrats had to pass the law didn't allow the time. 
(CNSNews.com) – Terry O’Sullivan, president of the 600,000-plus-member Laborers’ International Union of North America (LiUNA), often referred to as the Laborers’ Union, said that if Obamacare is not fixed, then “it needs to be repealed.”
At a convention in Las Vegas of the AFL-CIO, with which the Laborers’ Union is affiliated,  O’Sullivan took to the podium to endorse a proposition and then launched into a criticism of Obamacare, how it is hurting union members’ health coverage, and demanded it be fixed, adding that if it is not fixed, labor will make the issue a “big fricking deal.”
“If the Affordable Care Act is not fixed, and it destroys the health and welfare funds that we have all fought for and stand for, then I believe it needs to be repealed,” said O’Sullivan. “We don’t want it repealed, we want it fixed, fixed, fixed, and I commend Richard Trumka and the AFL-CIO for leading that charge. ”
