CEO emails 7,000 employees: Defeat Obama or else By Chris Isidore @CNNMoney October 9, 2012: 5:37 PM ET

David Siegel, CEO of Westgate Resorts, warned employees that they may lose their jobs if President Obama wins re-election.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Surprise. David Siegel, the resort CEO who is building the biggest private home in the country, really, really doesn't like President Obama.

And while Siegel hasn't sent any money to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, he has gone a step farther to support him.

On Monday he sent an e-mail to all 7,000 employees of privately-held Westgate Resorts, many of them in the battleground state of Florida, warning them their jobs are at risk if the president is re-elected.

"The economy doesn't currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration," he said in the e-mail.

"If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, as our current President plans, I will have no choice but to reduce the size of this company," he says in the nearly 1,400-word e-mail. "Rather than grow this company I will be forced to cut back. This means fewer jobs, less benefits and certainly less opportunity for everyone."

I admire this guy, because if Obama wins the IRS and other federal agencies will be all over him.

He’s brave, and we could use many more CEOs like him. Most are cowards.

Excellent post. In the world of liberal envy, business people make “windfall profits” every year. They have no idea that the line between profit and loss is often razor thin.

Boeing did the same basic thing: They cut medical benefits for the class of people that votes for Obama and told them their medical will be ObamaCare once implemented. Boeing then increased benefits for the rest of the company insurance programs.

Imagine being able to tell 7000 people this. All Barry can do is tell women that if they vote for Romney, he is going to take away their condoms and their Big Bird Show.
