The gags almost write themselves. FReepers, you've got plenty of material to work with here. Have at it.
What? Who interviewed the guy, a muslim with a scimitar?
Mr. Wolfson went on to add, “Barack Hussein Obama II is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.”
Well, seems to me that they now make news instead of reporting the news.
Also, it seems to me that they did that very thing in Germany about 60-70 years ago.
Why? Its a waste of good bandwidth. Just like with the "Professors" and "Academics" they develop a theory and to hell with contrary evidence.
I’ll bet dollars to donuts that this a union shop.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Drill....and every segment benefits!!
Guy runs a small group of 5 hotels staffed with illegals. Can’t imagine why he likes Obama.
These were probably all union-controlled businesses.
That's why I have a simple rule for our company: "When we want to grow, we have to go...to Asia."
Just in case anybody is unsure where the “reporters” stand within the political spectrum, here’s another quote from a “random” business owner: (He credits the federal stimulus effort with helping to keep some smaller firms afloat.)
Riiiiiight!

No, it depends on you to set standards of service and enforce them!
“In order to do business in today’s environment, government regulations are necessary and we must deal with them.”
translation: Only when you are screwed are you free.
Yeah, I’ll buy that if you throw in a free Starbucks.
Somehow, this became a question of whether we should or shouldn't have any government regulations whatsoever. The latter is the definition of anarchy. Nobody is claiming we don't need any government regulations at all.. I'm okay with being told to drive at 65 mph on most highways. I would not be so sanguine if Obama told me not to drive above 5 mph, which is equivalent to how he is choking the economy.
I'm okay with the government prohibiting McDonald's from putting rat poison into their hamburgers. Telling them not to exceed a certain calorie count is another story. Read my tagline.
From the article:I never want to do business with Mr. Wolfson's company. Ever!
"Government regulations are not 'choking' our business, the hospitality business," Bernard Wolfson, the president of Hospitality Operations in Miami, told The Miami Herald. "In order to do business in today's environment, government regulations are necessary and we must deal with them. The health and safety of our guests depend on regulations. It is the government regulations that help keep things in order."
Anybody who says that is not trying to deliver the best quality to their customers. They are trying to do the bare minimum to get by. What he's saying is that his business is so shady, if the Government didn't force him to operate in a healthy, safe manner, he would endanger his guests to make more money.
After 40 years in Miami real estate, developer Bernard Wolfson, president of Hospitality Operations, is bringing a first to the market -- the city's only LEED hotel, a Hampton Inn in Brickell.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies intended to improve performance in metrics such as energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.

How the hell did they do “random”? That sounds like a flat out lie. Loaded dice would be more honest.
Obviously this establishment serves a fine cup of Koolaid.
