Vegas Employer: Obama
Won–So I Fired 22 Employees

CBS News, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:Drive, 11/8/2012 9:55:23 AM

LAS VEGAS— 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” (snip) “I’ve done my share of educating my employees. I never tell them which way to vote. I believe in the free system we have, I believe in the right to choose who they want to be president, but I did explain as a business owner that I have always put my employees first.

This is only the beginning.Now their State Senator "Old Harry" anounce that there are going to be additional taxes coming our way.
Maybe the hispanic enployees fired who based on election result data indicate that the hispanics vote help put Obama over the top will now get a free cell phone for their vote.

If I owned a business and I had to let some employees go, the owners of the cars with Obama bumper stickers would go first.

Consequences. Yes.
The people who voted for Obama are about to learn what that word means, as the man they re-elected sets out to erase the American Dream, while giving his followers the finger.

What do you think the Chicoms been doing since Obama gained the presidency in 2008? Offloading treasury bonds slowly but surely and acquiring tangible assets elsewhere. With another few more rounds of quantitative easings, the US dollar is going to be worthless and be no longer useful for international trade. When that happens, the bottom is going to fall out for the US economy and we'll probably start seeing the barter economy come back the way it was when the USSR fixed the rouble at a ridiculously unrealistic rate. Americans may end up trading with Canadian dollars!

People shifting to gold are voting with their pocketbooks to insure against that day.

As more and more businessmen shrink or close their businesses, they will be called "unpatriotic." The leopard will not change his stripes. It will never be his fault.

As I work through my grief, I can only imagine how painful it is for people still in business who were waiting for a Romney victory to put positive growth plans in place. Their futures remain insecure and frightening. The very fabric of our country is changing right before our very eyes, and evidently we are powerless to stop it.

Obama will switch from funding sham solar companies and instead give the money to the employees of the closed businesses to buy and run them, with great fanfare and talk of fairness. Then they'll go out of business and that won't be reported.

My husband sent out an email to his company letting employees know what the current administration had done and will do to their company and industry if reelected.

Never did he tell people how to vote or whom to vote for, just exercise your right to vote. He wanted people to have the facts. Several employees were 'offended.' Many, many responded with emails thanking him. Someone called the paper but the reporter determined there was no story. There wasn't.

We'll see what transpires down the road now that the leftists who hate business are still in charge.

Sad days ahead for a lot of clueless people who voted for going Forward.

BHO does not care. He will use this crisis, just like all the others he amplified. It's not his policies, it's the mean businessman. Of course his team was vindictive and incompetent at the same time when they forced the closing of auto dealerships that were profitable, but who had not donated to his campaign. That was not a big deal to your liberal neighbor because it didn't affect him that day. In fact he thought it was a pretty good idea.

I am thinking about putting together an organization called Conservatives on Food Stamps. If we make it easy for people like us to get signed up for every government program possible, we can add enough weight to the system to bring it crashing down. We're at war and we need to crush the opposition's infrastructure.

Food stamps? Just chine up!
Obama phone? Just chine up!
EBT? Just chine up!
Disability? Just chine up!
Medicaid? Just chine up!

I'm just getting started. We need all 60 million Romney voters on the rolls.

Yep, elections have consequences...was at the vets yesterday, the receptionist said everyone that had come in was madder than "heck" about the outcome. Another person came in, and she was also upset. Said she had a business, but would be closing it at the end of the year. Vets were also upset. They were planning on buying a new digital x-ray machine, but they said now they would not spend the money. Sad day and years ahead for America.

My sister-in-law works for a very small, family run company. Last month they laid off one driver and one office worker. The boss has also indicated that all positions at the company might be reduced to part-time jobs.

I know it doesn't sound drastic, 2 layoffs, but I also know that this will be happening all across the country.

My husband goes to a little hair cutting place owned by a Vietnamese woman. We voted early, and he started talking to her about the election. She said she had voted for O, as had her (union/Vietnamese) husband. My husband asked her why, when she had a little business, she would vote for Obama.

"Oh he take care of us! Obama take care of us!"

So when he paid, my husband asked for ones in change. He held out four dollars and said, "This was going to be your tip. But since you voted for the person who will take more of my money, I have less to give you. So I'm keeping a dollar." She was shocked, absolutely shocked, but then swallowed and said, "OK".

And PS, as nicely as she cuts his hair, I am advocating that he find a barber who voted for Romney.

I'm thinking Peru, great economy and they are again rejecting The Shinning Path Marxist Movement, Obama's cousins.

With SS and SSI, I can live good and put away the new business I just started this year as a no go (write off). Sorry to the 'folks' who might have made a living with me.

And to the young who voted for Obama...you now have signed up for child support paid to the Government on yourself for the rest of your life (Obama Care). Put that with your student loans and that will be about 5 grand a year you owe to Uncle Sambo. Your starting wage will be below 40,000 (if you can find a job) and with taxes, inflation, insurance, student loans, and other hidden cost deducted you will have about 25,000 left so there will be no home loan, no BMW, no boat, and very little Starbuck latte double bama for you.

Live with it idiots.

Layoffs are only the beginning, small businesses provide 70% of the jobs in this country. Even Pravda won't be able to spin the unemployment numbers. Pyrrhic victory, anyone?

If Romney had been elected, the exact opposite of what posters are describing would be happening. Employers would not be laying off, they would be hopefully looking ahead to perhaps expanding their businesses. The stock market would not have fallen, it would have sky rocketed. People would not be posting that they are in mourning for their country.

The red states must be as inhospitable as possible to layabouts, freeloaders and illegals. Let the blue states pick up the slack. We will be default become two countries.

Scrapping equipment key

KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan — Facing a tight withdrawal deadline and tough terrain, the U.S. military has destroyed more than 170 million pounds worth of vehicles and other military equipment as it rushes to wind down its role in the Afghanistan war by the end of 2014. The massive disposal effort, which U.S. military officials call unprecedented, has unfolded largely out of sight amid an ongoing debate inside the Pentagon about what to do with the heaps of equipment that won’t be returning home.

A Pennsylvania man allegedly threatened to kill his mother because he believed she tried to “poison” him by serving pork, “which was against his Muslim religion," investigators report. Joshua Lee Coffey, 25, confronted his mother Sherri last week in the family’s home in St. Marys, a central Pennsylvania city. Coffey accused his mother of “attempting to poison him,” noting that “the meat he was given to eat was pork, which was against his Muslim religion," according to a probable cause affidavit.

MSNBC´s number-one Obama fanboy, Chris Matthews, was obviously disappointed with President Obama´s letdown of a speech in Germany Tuesday. Rather than place the blame where it belonged -- on the empty rhetoric, hypocritical platitudes, and crowd 95% smaller than the one Obama captured in ´08 as a presidential candidate -- Matthews blamed it on the sun blotting out Obama´s teleprompter:

The FBI uses drones for domestic surveillance purposes, the head of the agency told Congress early Wednesday. Robert Mueller, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, confirmed to lawmakers that the FBI owns several unmanned aerial vehicles, but has not adopted any strict policies or guidelines yet to govern the use of the controversial aircraft. “Does the FBI use drones for surveillance on US soil?” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) asked Mr. Mueller during an oversight hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee. “Yes,” Mueller responded bluntly, adding that the FBI’s operation of drones is “very seldom.”

On fertility, and the flauntingly

Distilled to a slogan, politics of late goes something like this: “I’m more fertile than you are.” It seems fecundity is emerging as the best argument for public office, policy or even citizenship. What was once an unconscious appraisal — Is this person strong, healthy and vital? — has morphed into the sort of explicit review one usually associates with an X rating. While male politicians have always strutted their stuff as a demonstration of virility and strength, most women until recently have had no such comparable public measures.

It would make things so much easier for everyone if Edward Snowden were working for China. And that’s certainly a possibility. His decision to flee to Hong Kong — a Chinese vassal — was an odd one, given that China is hardly a bulwark of transparency and civil rights. It’s a bit like complaining that Boston is too Catholic and then moving to Vatican City in protest. hen there’s the nature of the crime itself. Informed sources I’ve spoken with are generally aghast at what they say is the scope of information

Two top officials at the State Department´s Diplomatic Security Service (DS) -- the federal law enforcement agency that protects American diplomats and investigates allegations of criminal misconduct by State Department employees -- gave sworn testimony earlier this year that appears to be evasive at best, and untrue at worst, according to evidence obtained by Fox News. The officials are Scott Bultrowicz, who until Feb. 1 served as director of DS, and Tracy H. Mahaffey, who remains the executive director of DS. In videotaped depositions conducted this past February,

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
