Some decisions are easy

A good friend of mine has a small business employing 30 people. He has resigned himself to the fact that Barack Obama along with a Democratic House and Senate will probably take full control after this election.

Like most businessmen he is already planning for the future and estimates that with the additional taxes and fees the Obama administration promises, he will have to raise his prices 8%. In addition, he believes that he might have to layoff as many as 6 of his employees. He is in a quandary since all of these employees are like "family". I can appreciate his position having had my own small business for many years with as many as 25 employees - they were all like my family.

He could not decide how to choose who he would have to let go, so one day he went out into the parking lot and noticed that 8 of his 30 employees had "Obama" bumper stickers on their cars. Those 8 became his "layoff list".

Sometimes business decisions can be easy.

HaHaHa, I love it! Justice with a smile.

Seriously, I cannot believe the number of people that I would not have considered ignorant that are supporting Obama. I think that it's a direct result of government schooling, combined with a propoganda like media. It's that "long-range planning to get your result" that William Ayers figured out when he left bombing and went to writing school curriculum with Obama. The same type of long range planning that (possible scenario) jihadists use when they have little boys all over the United States being raised up to be the President....as one of them. I'm just sayin'.......

With regard to those Obama supporters, someone once said "you reap what you sow". However, it's sad that others may suffer from people who'll make a poor decision tomorrow based on promisees that can't possibly be kept. I have a brother who has a Ph.D. He's been in the academic world all his adult life and figures the government should provide just about everything. In this case, so much for higher education and what is being taught in our schools.
