It amazes me how blatant the Obama administration is with the total disregard for this Nation’s laws. You know President Obama if you don’t like the laws on the books then be a leader and work with those in the Congress to have the law changed or repealed.
I believe you will see how this process is played out as when Mr Romney takes up residence in the White House as his promised first order of business will be to repeal the widely unpopular Affordable Healthcare Act (Tax).
See the rest at the Dryer Report…. and leave a thought behind. No unmatched socks please.
The Rio Norte Line 
You do realize also that Obama who made a video about the Stafford Act, had voted against it prior to that now famous racist speech. Simply stated … Obama speaks to one race of people totally different than he does another.
Silly me, I thought all men were created equal.
It’s the primary (and only) function of a “community organizer:” to cause unrest and disorder by setting people against each other. After all, unless you have the conflict, then no one has any need to “organize.” 🙂
Reminds me of The Women of Brewster Place.
No Augger,
The basis of belief for the statist/Marxist/modern Democrat believes some are inferior, or favored, to others, so “the one” will decide who gets a head start and take from those they dislike and give to those they favor.
Oligarchy re-created.
The result ? A new dictatorship !
Ummm. So let’s look at what we are REALLY talking about here. The CEO of a corporation (lockheed-martin) who receives 82% of their income from amercian taxpayers, playing political games. Threatening to layoff thousands of workers days before the election. Because of the mandatory budget cuts that will go into effect Jan 2nd due to the political games played with the debt ceiling.
And let’s not pull punches here. He has backed off this move not because of the WARN actm but because of assurances from the DOD that there would be no cancellation of contracts on Jan 2nd.
But still. Let’s see. The mandatory budget cuts, a whopping $50 billion, would return the military budget to it’s state in 2007. Still more then the next 17 nations combined. Under Bush. At a time when not even defense hawks were claiming the military budget was to low. But because the tea party and the far right of the GOP are currently trying to pass a law to override these cuts, cuts their own intranciance on budget matters mandated, this CEO went beofre congress preaching gloom and doom, and threatening, yes threatening the american government and its taxpayers with massive layoffs if they did not get their cut of the taxpayer money.
And of course, he knows damn well that his companies projects like the, to be polite, “troubled” F-35 Joint Strike Fighter are on the chopping block regardless.
And of course, we still have congress trying to end this cut. and Romney, who if elected, promising to increase the military budget by $150 billion. So there is no reason for a CEO to threaten to slash jobs, When cuts to their funding are not forthcoming, and if the, eventually do, he has no idea what area of the company they will impact. But of course, he is free to threaten to cut them in a key swing state, bamkig on the ignorance of americans for who is really responsible for these mandated cuts.
Talk about “entitled americans” sucking at the public teat. Are you honestly going to try and tell me you believe that Roberts Stevens actions were that of a patriotic american?
Like I said before, so much dumbass packed in such a little space:
I wrote about it here:
This is a law.The 60 days are timed from the date of sequestration, not the election. Romney is not president so the companies have to act by law if they anticipate a mass layoff. Having experienced a mass layoff after 9/11, I know exactly of what I speak and I also know of companies that got fined for not doing so.
The defense industry employs over a million of those taxpayer sucking employees who not only protect but engineer ideas and build things for America – on the other hand, we have 46.68 million people on food stamps. According to a March 2012 report by Deloitte:
The Defense Department budget is 19% of the federal spend, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid make up 43%, other mandatory spending and interest on the debt adds another 19% – so federal spending that creates nothing and is required for “maintenance” equals 62% of the spend.
The Administration is clearly bribing companies to ignore the law:
The only federal “jobs program” that you leftist morons hate is the only one that actually produces something – defense spending.
Well Utah, I leave the keyboard for a few drinks, and you beat me to the punch. (talk about backspacing) 🙂
“And let’s not pull punches here.” – yes, Drugs let’s not pull punches here. Utah understated “so much dumbass packed in such a little space”.
All you really did, is leave us the room the point out that the corrupt Obama administration, fearing the political ramifications just prior to an election, decided to lean on Lockeed-Martin to break the law.
At White House Request, Lockheed Martin Drops Plan to Issue Layoff Notices
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/10/at-white-house-request-lockheed-martin-drops-plan-to-issue-layoff-notices/
But I suppose you, and some others here feel that the Obama administration has risen above the laws that the of us have to live by.
Nice job.
Thanks, Augs. I’m on my second cup of coffee and re-energized by the ass-whuppin’ that Mitt gave the Won.
I’m just having another late night fit of insomnia here.
You’ve just about inspired me to take a Scottish vacation before it gets too cold.
Too late. Cold and rainy here today. Best time here is late spring early summer…but as long as you bring a raincoat, Scotland is unimaginably beautiful anytime of year. If I didn’t have to watch SEC football at 2 am on Sunday morning, I would stay…
Ok damnit! How are you getting photos in to the comment boxes?
I go back after posting the comment and open it with the edit command – in the edit menu, there is a button for “img” or image – click on that and then paste in the location of the pic and Bob’s your uncle, there it is. There is an HTML code that you can input directly but I don’t ever remember it.
Oh, I see. Editing is an option I get only for threads that I am the original poster on.
Can’t edit comments in other folk’s threads.
See what happens now, I just moved you guys to “editor” status.
That could be dangerous as Augger will put words in my mouth.
So,
Will the CEO’s take the honest course of action and inform their employees of our Presidents actions ?
O is very likely to stiff all of them after the election IF he stays in power.
O is not a man of his word. Just watch. Are these CEO’s going to protect their employees, or a ghost of a man who is threatening them.
The Mr. Smith…. I was going to be way more succinct …. laws matter. You I like your approach as well…. bury him with facts and leave him like so much CRAP at the dump.
All Evil needs to succeed is for Good to stand aside.
So drugboy, do you think that the release of the bin Laden movie two days before the election is a CEO playing political games?
Hmmmm.
No industry enjoys more tax breaks per dollar of revenue than Hollywood. The bankrupt state of California just gave Hollywood 200 million in tax breaks while raising corporate taxes on other businesses.
Again, so much dumbass in such a small space…
Gosh, am I the only one who loved the clip? I should like to know what Bogart flick that was.

Thanks, pal Joey!
