Change the Teamsters can believe in

I find this Wall Street Journal story by Brody Mullins and Kris Maher shocking: "Obama says Teamsters need less oversight." Mullins and Maher report:

Sen. Barack Obama won the endorsement of the Teamsters earlier this year after privately telling the union he supported ending the strict federal oversight imposed to root out corruption, according to officials from the union and the Obama campaign.

Obama holds himself out as a new kind of politician who refuses to play the old games. This story should blow Obama's pretense up several times over.
