Dear Employees:

As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees have already and will continue increase in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead.

This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.

So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change....... I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

THE BOSS

10 people got laid off yesterday at a friends company, they just came in and said leave.
I don't think jokes about people getting laid off are funny either. Sorry, too close to the bone for alot of people, even people on here, including myself while Bush was still in office and the crash hit. hmmm, how'd that start?

I just got laid off myself.

Your right the economy started to tank when President Bush was in office. It happened in 2006 when the Dems took control of the house and the senate and started massive spending. Then not to mention Obama spending more in the first 6 months in office then President Bush spent in over 8 years as President.......

Just saying...........

There was no major spending other than Bush's stimulus through 2007-2008. And Obama hasn't even touched Bush's spending yet.

You are being lead astray by the right wing hate machine.

Second of all, you don't know me you have only seen what I have been posting (mostly from political forums, which we obviously don't agree on) so don't EVER call me a liar. The one thing I do have is integrity and EVERYONE who knows me would be happy to verify that.

Third of all,, what do you really know about politics? What you watch on tv or read in books? I've been there. I have gone to Non-Partisan and Partisan campaign schools. I have managed local campaigns. I have worked on local and national campaigns inn some form (either paid or volunteer) for the past 5 election cycles. When candidates who know me are going to announce running for office I am asked to join the campaign BEFORE the announcement. I choose not to be in politics full time because of BS bickering and partisan stupidity just like this. That is why I got trained to so Loss Prevention and Investigative work and only help on campaigns on a part time basis.

I have recieved awards from NUMEROUS people in our government for my integrity. Including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senator John Ensign, Congressman Dean Heller, Frmr. Congressman and current Governor Jim Gibbons...Just to name a few.

So do ever call someone out and accuse them of lies when you don't know them.

The stimulus and bailouts under President Bush were pushed by Harry Reid and Pelosi. They were the force behind it, and in the spirit of Bi-Partisanship President Bush signed those into law realizing his veto would have been over ridden anyways. Don't get me wrong I was furious with President Bush for doing that, just like I am furious with Obama doing that.

With that being said it still doesn't amount to the massive spending Obama has done while in office. It still doesn't explain how come Obama has spent more in the past year then President Bush spent in over 8 years.

Have you gone to the Government website and read the bills that were passed under President Bush or President Obama? I have. I continue to do so everytime I learn of a new one.
