(Politico) — The International Brotherhood of Teamsters endorsed President Obama Monday, calling his likely Republican opponent Mitt Romney a “vulture capitalist” whose election would amount to a “fox guarding the henhouse.”
“He represents everything that is wrong with our financial system. He made his money as CEO of Bain Capital by destroying U.S. businesses, sending good-paying American jobs overseas and filling his pockets with millions while putting workers out on the street,” Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa said in a release.
The organization’s endorsement comes with a promise to put “boots on the ground” in all fifty states.
“Working families know who is fighting for their rights, and it sure isn’t Mitt Romney,” said Teamsters general secretary-treasurer Ken Hall in a statement. “President Obama has worked hard to make sure that Wall Street is held responsible for ruining our economy, enacting the most sweeping financial reform package since the Great Depression.”
