The war on coal was declared by Obama during his first campaign and nothing has been done to make it look any better other than "fracking" for natural gas which the EPA doesn't like, either.

Supporters of Obamacare should be concerned and angry that it didn't turn out the way they thought.
But those supporters should be glad that the businesses are just following Obama's orders.

REVENGE.

Surely you people can read the links about people having to lay off workers because of the impending disaster of Obamacare. When they see what Obamacare will do to them they have two choices other than just closing their doors. They can lower the number of employees or just drop their insurance policies and have to pay the fine for so doing. You are doing some great deflecting but you haven't said anything about what I say.

So basically, companies are still hiring even though Obamacare is going to destroy the world. Good to know.



Once again--the reason nobody takes you seriously. Keep calling your Fellow Americans fleas and parasites.
Nope, just for revenge. Isn't that what Obama called for?

Have you seen the Rush rant about voting for real or voting for Santa Claus. Too many of the younger generation that came on for Obama were doing just that. I consider the handing out of contraceptive measures to be a form of Christmas giving that we never had before. Santa Claus may have to change his suit to one like Obama wears.

I did see where Rush said "My brain tells me that we're going to win big on Tuesday, and if I don't know what I'm talking about, why are people listening to me"

Welp, here's the CD "joke of the day". There was no health care law back in October 2009.

No crystal balls were needed since they could plainly see what they would have to do when Obamacare takes over. They were all ready, just in case he did win with his Santa Claus promises.

But Kat, it seems that Santa Claus Obama is the main reason for most of these layoffs. Yesterday and Wednesday were lefty celebration days and now it is time for them to see what they really voted in.
