Translation: There was a fair amount of arm-twisting going on to get Comcast to backtrack on their first statement. The revised statement was ‘unsigned’. LOL! (Actually this stuff is quite serious...)

Obviously Comcast was jacked up against the wall for telling the truth. The Leftist California Government undoubtedly forced them to lie about the reason they will shutter those offices with some coercement I’m certain. It’s the Democrat way.

Just yesterday, Campbell’s soup announced the closing of a 700 employee plant in Sacramento. CA businesses have finally had enough.

Holy cow!!

“”It is unfortunate that Comcast’s announcement to eliminate jobs in California inaccurately placed blame on the state, but I am pleased to see the executives at Comcast taking responsibility and correcting the statement,” said Mike Rossi, the governor’s senior adviser for jobs and business development, in a statement.”

Are we in time-warp Germany?

Meanwhile you got all the six-and-seven figure "beautiful people" up there in Silicon Valley sipping their lattes and tapping away on their MacBooks or iPads, as they prepare to go to work at places like Google, Facebook and Apple. These upwardly mobile high tech workers are going to vote for Obama and socialism overwhelmingly five weeks from now.

Don't they realize that they are voting to destroy their way of life? At some point, things are going to get so bad in California that all these companies are going to have to pull up stakes and find somewhere else to operate their businesses.

ComCast’s dealing with them just further legitimizes an illegitimate government

Also telling is the jubilant acceptance of the loss of jobs and industry by the governor, as long as the rationalization does not shed a "bad light" on his policies, "That turnaround was greeted warmly by the Governor's Office."

Why?

Three words: socialist sh*t hole.

And if Obama wins a second term, that’ll be the new name of the (former) United States.

...after state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, and the Governor's Office interceded, Comcast backtracked, saying its initial reasons were "incorrect."

"We've always been at war with Eastasia"

That turnaround was greeted warmly by the Governor's Office.

Turnaround??? Not one job was turned around to stay, simply the company was bullied into retracting the real reson from the press. And Jerry is pleased. Ha!

The country club Democrats in California smile to think that there will be less traffic on “their” roads and fewer people on “their” beaches.
