In a rare instance of corporate criticism of a president, Staples Inc. on Wednesday said that President Barack Obama

all / most big , major, companies are doing this . It’s the commonly accepted result of the mandates of Obama care .

Hey BamBam, shut your pie hole. You’ve never run a corporation, or anything for that matter. You embarrass yourself every time you open your big trap.

What business does the government - Obama - have in telling private business how to conduct themselves? Obama does nothing for our economy except pass unconstitutional “executive orders” to ruin us.

[Alex Murphy]

That was easy

Obama responded: “I haven’t looked at Staples stock lately or what the compensation of the CEO is, but I suspect that they could well afford to treat their workers favorably and give them some basic financial security, and if they can’t, then they should be willing to allow those workers to get the Affordable Care Act without cutting wages.

Translation: I don't know whether this story is true or not, but let me take this opportunity to provide yet another anti-capitalist rant against yet another U.S. corporation.

...

Shouldn’t we be looking at Obama’s compensation, specifically his luxurious vacations while he’s putting us in record debt, and demanding to raise taxes?

You reap what you sow, obama. Obama is solely responsible for the destruction of the full-time (40 hour+) job.

The unintended consequence of the ACA is that employers can drop healthcare liabilities altogether, force employees to become part-time employees, and eliminate all overtime pay to boot.

“It’s unfortunate that the president is attacking a company that provides more than 85,000 jobs and is a major taxpayer,” he added.

It's certainly unfortunate, but it's to be expected when the Gangster-in-Chief is a Socialist looter.

D’oh!

Barack must think Mitt Romney still runs Staples. His idiot minions do too.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Next time Obummmer takes over the TV for a prime-time address, look for him to come armed with figures on what all of Staples’ top execs are earning.

[grumpygresh]

0bama should be happy because an increase in part-time jobs inflates employment numbers. Part-timers are also more likely to qualify for Medicaid or heavily subsidized 0bamacare thus fostering government dependency.

[Phillyred]

Read later, off to Staples.

[Izzy Dunne]

Staples denied that its part-time employee policy was the result of the Affordable Care Act.

Why would they deny it?

[b4its2late]

He’s destroying the US from within, and allowing our enemies to gain strength. What a turd our country has as a leader.

“What business does the government - Obama - have in telling private business how to conduct themselves? Obama does nothing for our economy except pass unconstitutional “executive orders” to ruin us.”

All part of the fascist government he is creating.

“Read later, off to Staples.”
