LETTER FROM THE BOSS:
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%.
But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me, since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change, I gave it to them.
I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic........

That's really funny anonman! Where were you when George W. was running up the deficit?
I see also that you're a supply-sider Kool-Aid drinker. Read this:
And fire all your low-wage workers who pay a higher total marginal tax rate than your higher-paid workers.
Maybe you're mad at Obama for starting the extremely expensive Iraq War?
Maybe you're mad at him for letting Lehman collapse, letting Fannie and Freddie and Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch and AIG take all of those risks and just about collapse?
Maybe you're mad at him for destroying the industrial base?
WAIT! That wasn't Obama! It was....
Maybe you liked George W. because he tried to fix the health care system that's bankrupting your small business?
Or maybe you liked him for flooding the economy with money to prevent it from collapsing further?
Or maybe you liked him because he cut wasteful weapons systems?
Or maybe you liked him because....
OH WAIT! That wasn't George W.! It was....

You know, evnyc, I voted for George I against Dukakis as the lesser of two evils, but overall he wasn't a bad president. George II, on the other hand, will go down in history.

I was still in grade school for George 1 vs. Dukakis. I did participate in my first sixties-style school walkout while he was president, though, over the Iraq war. I was in middle school. In retrospect the teachers were probably the instigators.

Your boss is an idiot and a wingnu- no one but a freeper or dittohead would fire employees for having an obama bumper sticker. what a loser. better yet why not waterboard the employees with bush/cheney or mccain/palin bumper stickers!
