The layoffs for said company were announced 3 months ago and anticipated for far longer than that, due to a patent expiration, an entire team was laid off... although most of them are now being shuffled to other divisions.

Hopefully the vast majority of the layoffs are people who voted for Obama.
Obama owns the economy now...after 4 years he can't get away with "blaming Bush" any more.

Hoping you don't lose your house, cars, marriage, savings, children's college education, etc. because you voted for an idiot!!!

Gee, I'm hoping you don't have a stroke due to your temper tantrum. From the sounds of it these hospitals and doctors may not have the equipment to take care of you.

Wait until all the defense layoffs are announced. Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed, SAIC, CSC, and on and on it will go. Northern Virginia will be devastated with these losses along with our housing values. In a larger issue, our counties defense and military will be severely cut back and will leave us weaker in the future to defend against known and unknown threats.

Thanks. (I completely understand.)

To clarify and confirm, while maintaining the confidentiality Newtoli entrusted me with, one of the companies on the list did indeed announce layoffs in 2008 and specified reasons for the layoffs having nothing to do with Obamacare or Obama's policies.
