But...but...but, Obama has a plan. He said we've comeback from the brink! Oh yeah, and Romney is an evil, rich, capitalist!

I know this going to effect everybody, but i hope there will be some special suffering under this fools plans for those who voted for him a second time knowing what they did. They will get no sympathy from me!

It will only get worse. A bizarre anti capitalist EPA will continue to spew regulations that will inhibit entrepreneurs of all sorts. The economy will contract and Obama will usher in a lower standard of living for all.

Anybody still wondering why the Stock Market is tanking.

This is just the beginning.

Remember that old TV show “You asked for it”

Well America “You Asked For It.”

Fear not, ignorant citizens... We don’t need a thriving and productive private sector, we only need the jug-eared moron to demand the Treasury print more money. Obamanomics, or if you prefer Hoponomics, is the rule of the day... equal outcomes for all, means nothing more than we all suffer equally.

This is good, I am hoping that even the bogus math they use to quantify unemployment will not be able to keep us below double digit UE.

I will gladly say a prayer for any in the layoff list who didn’t vote for Comrade Zero. I have no empathy for those in the list who did. Elections have consequences.

My husband read a book “Shadowbosses” He was saying that with Obamacare, the unions will be running it. They also plan to get rid of “right to work laws” and Obama will do it.

We are not socialists now. We are communists.

Much suffering is on the way. We will sit back and eat it because we always have. It ain’t gonna be pretty.

Every single person who is out of work heads for the government. It is not that handouts are inherently bad, but rather that at some point (that point should be short) people like those out of work need some help. The problem with government today is that the compassion and what I call stewardship of voting blocs require the masses to become a massive user of this assistance.

So today your post gives us just that many more (about 50% of every group) headed into the government trap of assistance.

I must repeat what I said yesterday in a post/thread and that is Republicans/Conservatives, etc., can and should educate themselves on the various forms of public assistance and take advantage of it - you should benefit from the elected government and not just those who voted for it. In this small way, perhaps the sheer numbers of opposition taking the bennies will prevent yet new programs from cropping up - there has never been a government program that died, but there are always new proposals to create more social programs when the money is there - just take your just dues and the very welfare that is already available - prevent more programs and overload the current programs.

Can’t be more specific but just got word that a medical group which was planning to expand into a new high tech field, met after the election and killed the expansion due to worries about aspects of Obamacare. So jobs, money, and new treatment facilities will now be lost.

And Bush will still be getting blamed along with the Republicans in congress. And they won’t do a damn thing to stand up and defend themselves. Whitey can’t blame the poor black man who is president. The culture refused to hold this man accountable because of his skin color.

My nephew was laid off from Motorola after 20-some years....one of 4000 layoffs in the company's staff......with more in the offing.

His whole department was moved lock, stock and barrel to Poland.

Isn’t it amazing that hundreds of thousands voted to end their employment willingly for the sake of ideology?
