Obama and SEIU Flashback - Obama: SEIU's agenda is my agenda

In a September 17, 2007 speech to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) membership, presidential candidate Barack Obama revealed more than solidarity with the SEIU admitting they share a common agenda -- "your [SEIU] agenda's been my agenda," and that he consults with Union before debating health care and immigration issues. 

Obama makes those admissions at the about the 3:16 mark in the video to the left.

So why isn't Obama in Madison instead of tring to back away from the demonstrations he and his campaign organizations supported?
