No matter what Obama does, the lefties will defend it. He could Nuke Israel and they will defend him. I get it. You can't stop posting about how he is the creator and can do no wrong. Those of us with our eyes open know better. It will become clear to everyone as time goes by, just like it did with his twin...Jimmy Carter.
If that were true, it would certainly be myopic on the part of those defending Obama's actions.
Just as it would be equally myopic to blame Obama for things that are clearly not his fault.
I got off the phone with my dad a little while ago and he says there is a lot of talk in the construction industry to start lay offs to save for all the tax burdens and price jump in material costs under Obama... My family has been in the business for over 50 years... Don't get all crazy, that's just what he told me.
Well I just found out that my coworker's boyfriend was laid off today, along with many of his coworkers. He worked for a small business. The owner said that given the outcome of the election, he needs to cut costs now, in order to cover the extra expense he will have under the new leadership's ecomomic plan. Needless to say, my coworker's boyfriend and the business owner are not very happy. The disastrous stock market reaction to the election is giving us clear signals as to what the future will hold for business around the country, INCLUDING here in the Triangle.
Has anyone else been told of any layoffs happening in the Triangle, resulting from the election results. Both ones that are happening now or projected going forward? I think this will be a game changer for the Triangle. I don't know if things will look the same here going forward. I wish the best of luck to everyone in the Triangle that ends up out of work.
Sounds an awful lot like one of those emails going around...

Sounds to me like your dad is a first class moron...

It's not Obama's fault per-se...it's the policies he is promising that is causing AK-47 prices to skyrocket (if you can even find them available -- I can't even get on the horn with one of them for my newest member of the family supposedly being shipped), employers to lay people off, etc.
It's the mandate itself, led by Obama in tow with Pelosi/Reed and almost a supermajority in the Senate and huge Congressional membership. Blind party backing all the way, and it's showing in the market, layoffs, etc.
Well let's see, the "reds" here said this would happen, along with the economy worsening in general. The "blues" said the market would jump 1,000 points after the election. Who's right so far? Certainly not the left.

The "reds?" What is this, 1953?
Anyway, I guess we can turn out the lights on the "Land of Milk & Honey." And we thought it was going to be the socialist regime that destroys the job market when it's really a bunch of weak-willed "businesspeople" folding up the tents based on what might happen. Merry Christmas, now here's your pink slip.

I can assume those asterisks are something rude. Uncalled for.
As for skyrocketing AK-47's, it sounds like the market at work. Demand up, supply down, price up. Ah, capitalism.
As for the mandate, all I can say is that's democracy for you. Occasionally the people elect someone you're not crazy about to be POTUS. I'm sure not crazy about the results of 2000 or 2004, but we all survived. And we shall again.
Obama isn't the President. Not yet. If bosses are laying people off, they're doing so because they're overstaffed and looking to cut costs. Because the economy sucks. And that's one we can't blame on Obama just yet.
