Vegas Employer: Obama Won–So I Fired 22 Employees
KXNT Las Vagas ^ | November 7, 2012 | N/A

Posted on 11/08/2012 6:12:59 AM PST by Freeport

LAS VEGAS (CBS Las Vegas) — A Las Vegas business owner with 114 employees fired 22 workers today, apparently as a direct result of President Obama’s re-election.

“David” (he asked to remain anonymous for obvious reasons) told Host Kevin Wall on 100.5 KXNT that “elections have consequences” and that “at the end of the day, I need to survive.”

Here’s an excerpt from the interview. Click the audio tab below to hear even more from this compelling conversation: . . . I’m just one guy with 114 employees — well was 114 employees — watch what happens in the next six months. The Dow alone lost 314 points today. There’s a tsunami coming and if you didn’t think this election had consequences, just wait.”

I bet that it will be illegal to do so in the near future

Have you considered going to P90X?

DRUDGE - Even McDonalds sales are way down. People don’t have the expendable cash anymore. I believe our affirmative action president has broke the piggy bank.

I like it! I assume you are aware that three of the main characters in Atlas Shrugged attended the fictional Patrick Henry University.

I work for a company that provides technology services for healthcare practices, labs and hospitals. Late Wed morning we got notice from 2 mid-size practices that they were closing down completely and today we just got another. I know there were more than a few this year who have stated that they are holding out hope for an Obama defeat so I expect quite a few more. The physicians have had enough of the cuts in medicare and tax increases, it’s just not worth it to them to work anymore. Believe it or not, the margins aren’t huge for these places, especially the family practices. So far this week it looks like around 25 physicians and somewhere around 60-70 support staff have lost their jobs and we lost the clients. As this grows larger, we will be letting some people go as well. Christmas is not going to be pleasant this year, that’s for certain.

The next time you run across some unemployed Obamaton complaining about not being able to get a job, tell him or her to ask Obama for one.

Agreed however I hate the plyometrics and yoga.

I’m a runner and the plyo is murder on the knees.

He went to the parking lot and noted whose cars had Obozo bumper stickers........

Saw a blurb yesterday on a small business, I think in Georgia, where the anonymous owner had scouted out who had Obama bumper stickers and lo and behold 8 of those people got pink slipped yesterday.

Call me a mean SOB, but it kinda warmed my heart to read that.

I let a part-timer go yesterday. He made it easy by being 10 minutes late...again. I was going to wait until after Christmas, but changed my mind following the election.

"Layoffs are coming at my company as well. We have already started the list ... won’t be a merry Christmas for many."

On the bright side, when they can't pay their bills, they will quailfy for an Obama-Phone.

I have bad knees from years of basketball. So I just ride my elliptical machine for an hour on those days.

I had forgotten that fact, so a bit of subconscious or serendipity at work. Thanks!

I’m canceling my health club membership shortly. It has to be done in writing, so I’ll add something like “It’s the Obama effect”.

Since Tuesday night I have debated canceling my membership but it is the only thing that is keeping me sane. I will be spending very little on anything that isn't an absolute necessity.

They'll immediately find work as IRS agents.

"I call February to be a bleak, bad month."

There will be a good number of suicides in the upcomming months. Nothing like a depressing christmas with no gifts under the tree to set the stage for putting a revolver in the mouth.

Great post. Atlas needs to not only shrug, but not be found in the area.

The nation has tipped.
