U.S. Capitol official: Obama wrong on janitors' pay cut

"[A]ll the folks who are cleaning the floors at the Capitol -- now that Congress has left, somebody is going to be vacuuming and cleaning those floors and throwing out the garbage -- they're going to have less pay," Mr. Obama said. "The janitors, the security guards, they just got a pay cut, and they've got to figure out how to manage that. That's real."

~~SNIP~~

"The pay and benefits of EACH of our employees WILL NOT be impacted," Elias wrote.

"There was a specific mention in the news today by a high ranking official that said 'The employees that clean and maintain the US Capitol will receive a cut in pay' (not specific quote but very close to it)," Elias continued.

"This is NOT TRUE," wrote Elias. "Therefore, I request that you please notify all of our employees about the importance of ignoring media reports."

The lying communist didn’t seem to mind when I took a pay cut thanks to his payroll tax hikes and the 0bamunistCare induced increases to my health insurance.

Why don’t we cut Obama first? First in war, first in peace, first in the pay cut line...

Paying off Obama’s corporate whores, sending billions to the Muslim Brotherhood and to Africa.

Sorry, the Treasury belongs to Muslims and globalists now.

"...importance of ignoring media reports"?

Does he mean the ones quoting the media's selected boy-king? I suppose that is about as specific as he could get about telling people to ignore his "boss". I hope this isn't lost on anyone, but, of course, the "media" will ignore the veiled reference to their king and try to blame the Repubs (for anything they can think of).
