Ben Nelson opposing Obama nominee to National Labor Relations Board

Remember how Obama's DNC gave $500,000 to Senator Ben Nelson via the Nebraska Democratic Party? That was in late December.

So, how's that's working out for them?:

In a move that will further irritate his Democratic critics, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) announced on Monday evening that he would not just oppose but also help filibuster President Barack Obama's nominee to a key labor relations agency

In a statement from his office, the Nebraska Democrat announced that he would oppose cloture for Craig Becker's appointment to the National Labor Relations Board, all but assuring that confirmation won't take place.
