I can't wait until Nobama wins. His election will mean I can quit my job and expect a check in the mail each month.

It will be hard for me to learn that staying at home, not pulling my weight and otherwise being a drain on society is the way of the future but what the heck I am willing to give it a try.

Luckily we have all these fine Democrats on board who have done a fine job of showing us hardworking Americans how to get something for nothing.

Just think, every week is a week of leisure, no more commutes to work. No stress trying to pay the bills. Nobama will be there to take care of me.

I will say I am a little worried that Nobama will turn over the US to the UN but why should I care as long as I get my handout, er, check.

Gee, we agree on something. I can't wait for Obama to win either. It would mean I might actually not get laid off.

If people like you would look past the end of your nose, you would see that the whole world is watching and waiting to see if this country is going to make the same colossal screw-up it did in 2004. If McCain somehow wins, you will see companies just go ahead and start cancelling orders left and right and the layoffs will come fast and furious right before Christmas. My company (headquartered in Europe) will be one of them.

And do you think your buddy John McCain will care? Think again.

People are not asking for something for nothing. People work hard in this country every Gawddamn day of the week only to see their wages not keeping up, their living standards falling, their health care benefits being cut and their kids not being able to afford college anymore. That is even assuming they have a job that has not been shiped off to child labour in China by the robber barron class.
This while the CEOs of the companies they work for get richer and richer and the Wall Street tycoons take more and more of the nation's economy. We need to empower the working people in this country to grow the middle class again. Nobody is asking for something for nothing. People are asking for fairness.

If you think Obama or even McCain might guarantee a job then you're a fool.

If you have any funds in a 401K/403B or some such, be sure to close that account (pay early withdrawal penalties if need be) before you quit -- the sooner you quite, the better. Obama plans to nationalize all 401Ks along with the banks (You did see today's headlines in the paper, didn't you?), so he will be giving your 401K money to all of those poor dope dealers and crack head mamas who did not have their own retirement plans.

ROTFLMAO. I would not guarantee that you wouldn't get laid off, BUT I can pretty much assure you that the Obama regime will get you laid on.

Silly. Since Obama is communist, that means we'll all have to work in the rice paddies all day. Also, since he's Muslim, we'll have to all wear turbans while doing it. Don't you people know ANYTHING?!?
