Obamanation - A Sad Reality Coming True

[DanicaFan]

Well, just 1 week after the election... The truth of Nobama rears its ugly head...

Stock Market down 800 points.
New jobless claims of 439,000
Thousands of more layoffs announced.

Hostess going under. It's that darn union. I know if I worked there, no union would of stopped me from keeping my job. A good worker doesnt need a union.
Companies facing huge fines because they refuse to get "Obamacare" because stuff that is in it goes against thier beliefs. This is unreal. Companies going bankrupt, having layoffs because they cant afford the Obamacare. This is going to get real bad. I hope all the people that voted for him are happy. Those that did, deserve to be broke and jobless... You reap what you sow!

Well, Obama's plan is really taking a hit because the hardworkers are losing thier jobs and that means there is less money to take away from them and give to the lazy man who refuses to work. What's his answer now ?

Oh well, Im off to sign my petition to secede from this United States of Obama.....lol Have a great day.

He's the best of a bad bunch. Its the same in any country. At least you didn't end up with a war monger who was intent on offending your allies like Romney. The world is in a bad place right now and nothing is going to repair an economy overnight.

Obama is the worst of the bunch! He is a flawed socialist, liar, and a coward. He had 4 years to make some type of improvement in this economy and he didnt! He made it worse.

I knew the crazy train would be back once the circuit breakers tripped during the election were reset. Hostess is a tough call since they wanted to cut their hardworkers' pay by 20% and simultaneously make them pay for 30% of their healthcare, so an overall loss of maybe 25-30% of total compensation. Hostess has been through a few bankruptcies in the last ten years and companies regularly do it not because they're in any kind of poor financial health as much as using it to throw out contract agreements, like we saw with American Airlines. Hostess claims they're going to liquidate assets this time, but let's see what is really done. Look on the plus side. Obama didn't bail them out!

Companies facing fines for not following new health care rules only seems to apply to some select Catholic institutions (not mine, by the way) that think discrimination in the name of religion should be protected. We've already established the boundaries of faith versus regulation, and they want to make political hay about it let them eat the cost. And since those laws aren't even in force yet no one has been fined anything and there's plenty of time for these institutions to start following the law. If anything it shows how out of touch Vatican appointed organizations, particularly Bishops and Cardinals in the US are at odds with the majority of Catholic hospitals, universities, charities and churches, let alone worshipers.

The only companies that have made any kind of plan or threat to lay off or close because of the health care laws are currently making petty threats to hurt their workforce before (again) anything is being enforced. A pizza chain owner has claimed he'll lay off thousands of his own people rather than lose what he (using what math) estimates is $.14 from a $15 pizza. Of course the costs of reducing staff and the extra pay everyone else will need isn't factored in because it is just posturing on the owner's part. Another owner of several Denny's restaurants in Florida says he is immediately adding 5% to every bill in protest of healthcare he may need to pay in the future. Again it's nothing but a cynical posturing stand, with the added bonus of jacking up prices for a little while. Both of these blowhards will make their noise and then get in line like everyone does when new rules are put in place, just like with food handling and preparation standards, desegregation, workplace safety and collective bargaining.

So far Republicans still haven't figured out how to react to another crushing defeat. Staying the stupid course isn't going to get them any additional support, but at the same time that's where they get their money and bodies in the street, so they're kind of stuck in a corner they painted for themselves. Jindal and Rubio have at least made public disagreements with an embittered Romney who claimed the election was determined by urban takers, so there may be hope. But those two have also gotten a lot of mileage from the crazy train so it's too early to see if there will be a real change of direction.

Let's celebrate!

You guys that dont see what is happening around you and that is the country falling apart because of Obama's policies...its because of 1 of 2 things....

1. You are in denial and refuse to accept it. It's called accountability.
2. You are delusional. Maybe its because of the Obama Kool-Aid you are drinking....lol

[race aficionado]

....lol

Yeah, lol

You live in a country which, for all its flaws, is a democracy. The people have spoken and you'll have to live with that. If you think you can do a better job, put yourself forward for office. Don't sit on a forum having a whinge, get off your backside and go and make a difference.

What we see in you is someone not sufficiently intelligent to put forward anything other than deeply trite, rent-a-quote arguments. Look at how you write. Look then at how, for instance, Gregor-y writes in his contribution a few posts up. There is an intellectual chasm between you. Do you realise this?

[DanicaFan]

Well BDunnell..... Some things dont really need much of an explanation. They are self-explanatory...lol

Just like what Im saying. Look around, watch the news. This country is falling apart and Obama will and is making it worse.

@DaveB,... You are wrong, Democracy and Capitalism, although not perfect, are the best systems to live under.

You're such a cry baby. You remind me of those Ivy League kids I met in college who would literally cry because they never had to do their own laundry.

"This country is falling apart..." No it isn't! Just because you're a sore loser doesn't mean the country is in the toilet. You always question Obama's ability to lead, but I've seen plenty. 1) Stabilizing an economy on the brink of a financial abyss. 2) Dealing with Iran through sanctions rather than military action (Republican-backed). 3) Killing Osama bin Laden, which is something that Bushwhacker was never able to do.

My advice? Keep crying. I'll keep smiling. Also, I may also suggest that you curl up into a ball.
