Bush Intervenes in Port Lockout

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush took the first step on Monday toward forcing an end to a lockout at West Coast ports, citing concerns about the fragile U.S. economy, but top Democrats and union officials blasted the move as heavy-handed and demonstrating anti-labor bias.

The lockout of ports handling $300 billion a year in trade had raised widespread fears of new disruptions in the faltering U.S. economy. Some 200 ships carrying food, manufacturing equipment and retail goods sit idle off the West Coast.

Is it my imagination or do the Dem's automatically take a contrary position to anything and everything the GOP says or does? Haven't they been complaining about Bush's lack of action regarding our faltering economy? So, now he does something and now they start yelling he's anti-labor.

Again, being an independant I'm no fan of either party.  But this is getting ridiculous.
