Wayne Madsen is an independent investigative reporter who was/is based in D.C.
In his for-subscribers-only post of June 15-17, 2012 (which somebody put online in pdf format), Madsen writes that all is not well for Obama within the Democratic Party.
Not only is Obama “facing a major revolt from organized labor over the decision to hold the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina” because the unions are unhappy that the convention is being held in the Bank of America stadium, which is a notorious anti-union, right-to-work employer.
Madsen also claims that there are rumors of a “dump Obama” campaign launched before the convention. Former President Bill Clinton is reportedly offering up his wife, Hillary Clinton, as a possible candidate to forestall the possibility of a Mitt Romney win and a rout for the Democrats in November.
Already, unions have withdrawn their “financial support” for Obama’s renomination convention. There is also the probability that union members will be joining Occupy protesters in demonstrating in Charlotte during the convention, something that would have been unheard of at past Democratic conventions. Wisconsin and national union leaders are still miffed at Obama for failing to campaign for Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in his race to unseat the anti-union Governor Scott Walker in the recent recall election. The unions blame Obama in part for Walker handily defeating Barrett.
If Madsen’s report is true, then we should expect more unrest from within the Democratic Party as we get closer to the Democratic National Convention!

Another birthday present? Oh, Eowyn, it’s just what I’ve always wanted! LOL
All wrapped in a big ribbon! LOL
The problem could be that Hillary gets nominated. People love her–anyone think that she could beat Romney?
Oh no, DW. I didn’t think that far! Groan…. LOL
Between women independents, Hispanic women, dead voters, and die-hard Clintonites, yes. SRM will ratchet up the Republican’s “War on Women” to ensure that!
I think Hillary might develop “heart problems” like Breitbart if she tried to cross the White House Posse. Unless somebody at the White House developed “heart problems” first. Colonel Mustard in the library with a candlestick.
Some prominent dems my duck the jackass convention in NC:

Interesting, to say the least.
What scares the wee out of me is that Broom Hilda would probably be the dem nominee if Obama is thrown under the bus, and that could spell doom for not just Mittens in November, but America itself shortly thereafter.
Like the old adage goes, be careful what you wish for – you just might get it.

I remember when he was beating Hillary in the 2008 primary and I laughed and I laughed…little did I know the joke was on me. I haven’t laughed since.
Like I have said before, it is reminding me more and more of 1968. An acquittal (OR conviction, frankly) for Zimmerman later this summer could trigger race riots and Lord only knows what else.
Aimeslee, I was afraid of that too but I heard them talking about it a couple of weeks ago and they said there’s no way it will go to trial before 2013. Hope so.
Yeah they love Hitlery. They are so deluded, they will put one bad guy out just to get a another.
There’s lots of talk of the Dems losing the Senate this year… what if we combined these and wound up with a Clinton working with a GOP Legislature… It worked once…
Obama is much too arrogant to drop out. No amount of criticism has stopped him yet.
