Well I believe that point was in 2008!
Why, 2008? Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama both squabbled for the nomination all the way to Dianne Feinstein's house in San Francisco who negotiated a truce. Even though Hillary had far fewer points she would not drop out, so Obama literally bailed her out to force her to drop out.
Hillary who had illegally accepted Chinese campaign donations and was in debt after being forced to return them, she was bought off by Barak being promised a Secretary of State appointment. The unions had nothing to do with Obama. Why? Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy were pushing the nationalization of all police, firemen and First Responder unions under one roof one day after 9/11 on 9/12/2001. The entire nation would be held hostage during a national crisis under a threat of a strike.
This was organized crime. The Mafia has been behind both the Clinton and Kennedy families.
Even the police unions recognized this threat and would not back Hillary Clinton. But they did not jump on the bandwagon for Obama either. There was turmoil after 9/11/2001, Enron collapsed, then Enron's accounting firm Arthur Andersen Accounting and Consulting both collapsed - deemed a conflict of interest; then the other 50,000 corporate clients of Arthur Andersen went down like dominoes, many of whom the AFL-CIO had invested pension funds in, like World.com.
The mainstream media made a blackout on this chaos and corruption in the AFL-CIO.
At this point, the Teamsters, Food-workers Union and the SEIU broke off from the AFL-CIO and formed their own club. President John Sweeney of the AFL-CIO gave back his stock in World.com, he and his pension accountants accused of insider trading just before their collapse. Sweeney was re-elected President another term, nevertheless. By 2002, Putin fired Arthur Andersen as the consultant to the Russian Ministry of Finance, a position held since 1972, gifted to the USSR by Richard Nixon under Detente.
The Sarbanes Oxley Act "T***h in Accounting Act" was passed by Congress, but it only pertains to the private sector when keeping a double set of books, one for the IRS, the other for Wall Street. Sarbanes Oxley does not pertain to the government or GSEs whose bookkeeping methods took a brain surgeon to square.
Snakes, snakes, I see snakes everywhere.
