Obama Caught Trying To Hide Job Losses Before Election
Obama is not working
The Obama administration issued new guidance intended for defense
contractors Friday afternoon, reiterating the administration’s position
that the companies should not be issuing layoff notices over
sequestration. The Labor Department issued guidance in July saying it
would be “inappropriate” for contractors to issue notices of potential
layoffs tied to sequestration cuts. But a few contractors, most notably
Lockheed Martin, said they still were considering whether to issue the
notices — which would be sent out just days before the November
election.
But the Friday
guidance from the Office of Management and Budget raised the stakes in
the dispute, telling contractors that they would be compensated for
legal costs if layoffs occur due to contract cancellations under
sequestration — but only if the contractors follow the Labor guidance.
The guidance said that if plant closings or mass layoffs occur under
sequestration, then “employee compensation costs for [Worker Adjustment
and Retraining Notification] WARN act liability as determined by a
court” would be paid for covered by the contracting federal agency.
Senate Republicans, who accused the White House of trying to hide job
losses after the first guidance, said Friday that the new OMB statement
“puts politics ahead of American workers.”
“The Obama
Administration is cynically trying to skirt the WARN Act to keep the
American people in the dark about this looming national security and
fiscal crisis,” Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and
Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) said in a statement.
“The president
should insist that companies act in accordance with the clearly stated
law and move forward with the layoff notices.” The fight over WARN Act
notices began in June when Lockheed Martin CEO Bob Stevens said his
company might send the notices to all 123,000 of its employees.
Some companies were hesitant to follow Lockheed, but several others
told McCain in letters earlier this month they might send the notices,
too, despite the Labor Department guidance.
But the new
guidance would appear to address one of the chief concerns from the
companies — that they could be liable to compensate employees who were
laid off if the companies don’t issue the notices.
The GOP
senators complained, however, that this tactic would push the cost of
the layoffs onto taxpayers. A Lockheed Martin spokeswoman told The Hill
that the company is still reviewing the documents. source- The Hill
For every year that Obama has been president, 1.3 TRILLION dollars has been added to the US National Debt.

I
remember how shocking this was at the time. He died in 2005 of Kidney
Failure. I wondered why he hated Jim McMahon so much. He had decided
before the game to crush him. Had his name written on a towel. Kidney
problems can come from e
nvy of men. This passage speaks to that:
Psalm 72:21 For my heart was grieved, embittered, and in a state of ferment, and I was pricked in my heart [as with the sharp fang of an adder].
22 So foolish, stupid, and brutish was I, and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.

"A
democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a
permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up
until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves
generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."
In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh ,
had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior.

Obama’s anti-business, anti-growth, anti-jobs, anti-energy policies
Obama’s anti-business, anti-growth, anti-jobs, anti-energy policies have given us the worst recovery in history, and the worst UNEMPLOYMENT for the longest period since the Great Depression. And those lousy result have been purchased with the most massive wasted corrupt spending and nation destroying DEBT in all of history. Obama is killing our economy almost single handedly. Meantime to pay for Obama’s insanity the Federal Reserve is pumping sugar in our veins. Hundreds of billions of funny money making every dollars in every persons pocket anywhere in the world worth less. A massive Obama tax that hits the poorest Americans hardest. Yet even with the funny money pouring into the system oil prices have ceased to rise and have started to fall back even as we found out growth in Q2 wasn’t just bad it was terrible. The numbers under Obama always seem to get worse after the headlines die out. Obama is taking our nation down the path to utter economic catastrophe folks. If Obama is reelected in a year or two the 25% UNEMPLOYMENT in Spain may look good to us!

To
my friends who are self identified 47%ers: There is probably nothing I
can say or do that will convince you to vote right. I don't intend to.
My focus is to make certain the 53% who Romney identified as worthy of
his focus in this election are going to vote right this time...not
voting as many of them did last time. To vote that way is the
definition of insanity...doing the same thing again but expecting a
different result. So, Relax. I'm not coming after you. Vote whatever
you believe you can without searing your conscience any further. It is
for those who still have ears to hear...I will reach out to them.
47%?...you are not on the radar screen. Romney was right.
Because
you won't hear about any of this on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN or MSNBC today
or tonight you need to know that recession is on the horizon...worse
than before. They are so desperate to keep Obama in the White House
they are doing whatever
they can to hide
the truth. It's pretty rough. Making up Polls is one thing, we all
laugh at them on the right. BUT keeping data like this quiet so it
won't upset the voters is criminal. BUT, now at least YOU my friends
know what is really going on. OBAMA FAILED BADLY. The economy is in the
tank and sinking. The stock market goes up because people don't know
what to do with their money.
In case you did not hear that clearly, we will transcribe it as best we can.
“Everybody in Cleveland, low minorities, got Obama phone. Keep Obama in president, you know. He gave us a phone, he gonna do more.”

“Everybody in Cleveland, low minorities, got Obama phone. Keep Obama in president, you know. He gave us a phone, he gonna do more.”
The person shooting the video
asks, How did he give you a phone? To which the woman replies: “You
sign up! If you on food stamps, you on social security, you got low
income, you disability…”
The video includes a cut at that point and picks up with the filmer asking “What’s wrong with Romney?” Without blinking, the passionate Obama supporter says:
“Romney, he sucks! Bad.”

Question: Should a church be involved in
helping it's members access government programs such as food stamps,
section 8, free cell phones or any number of other governbmen services,
supports and subsidies? Is that mercy or manipulation? Are they
setting people free or intensifying bondage to the system? Church
leadership that encourages such things needs to rethink what they are
doing. WWJD seems like the question that needs to be asked. I don't
think HE would
Thinking about the teachers strike and the Refs, the essence of strikes should be:
On the workers side, if you don't pay us more we won't work. Strike
On the employers side, if you don't work, (strike) we may just fire the whole lot and start over if we think we can. Reagan and the ATC
With the Refs they proved they were that valuable. Strike ends. Labor wins.
Why did the teachers strike n

Why did the teachers strike n
ot
end with the whole bunch being fired? With the refs it was proven they
could do the job better. With the teachers in the CPS they have proven
they are far less then indispensable...yet they won. Do you suppose
that politics had anything to do with this? Just asking. If they made
me king..things would be different...chaotic, but different. I don't
guess I'll wait up for the call. LOL
Who
here has a job?’ he asked hopefully, looking around the room. Fred
Armisen, who had the honor of playing the president in seasons’ past,
raised his hand and said he was a manager at Burger King.
‘A manager at Burger King? There you go – have it your way!’ Pharoah said, then asking, ‘I bet you were behind the counter four years ago?’
Armisen glumly replied: ‘I was the vice president of Bank of America.’

don't know if I would go this far. I do think there is a searing of an
otherwise tender conscience by sanctioning something you shouldn't. I
