Obama Won So I Fired 22 Employees
2012-11-08
[Las Vegas.CBS Local] A Las Vegas business owner with 114 employees fired 22 workers today, apparently as a direct result of President Obama's re-election.

"David" (he asked to remain anonymous for obvious reasons) told Host Kevin Wall on 100.5 KXNT that "elections have consequences" and that "at the end of the day, I need to survive."

#13  TW, in response to your question the other night - the guys I was with were Marines and some Sailors. It's been an interesting week at work...

#12  The expression is right, Cretinous Humungous. Separately, Colin Powell would never have lowered himself to stump for votes from the common folk. He is not a natural politician, though as a general he had to do high level politics. Sadly, Condoleeza Rice is even less inclined to politics. But as neither were able to control the State Department staff, it didn't bode well for their ability to control the rest of the executive bureaucracy, should they have somehow managed to have gotten elected.

Yes, he does, Redneck Jim.

#9  I always wished Colin Powell was your first Black President. Maybe now there would be less hysteria over Obamas skin colour if Powell had.

I'm sorry but I can't help seeing an ostridge when I see obama.

#6  They tried Carolina but the NLRB Obama union appointees said no they couldn't move. Another nail in the coffin of the former land of freedom. Papers, papers, we want to see your papers [except at the polling station].

#5  I think Boeing moved their HQ to Chicago to put some distance between them and the union. I figure eventually they will move their manufacturing elsewhere.

#4  Boeing moved to Chicago because the business climate in Washington state was less than optimal, to say the least!

#3  If he closes his business because it become unprofitable due to costs to operate it wouldn't have been 22, but 114 plus himself.

#2  Remember, Boeing IS based in Chicago.

#1  Boeing did the same thing on a larger scale but they seemed less spiteful and more than a bit corrupt in the way they handled it.
