Obama was "fired up" and so were the voters, and so now, the mass firings begin. Here's a collection of today's headlines. Please say a prayer for the families who will be suffering. Had Romney won, many of these companies would now be hiring.

I hope all those who do lose jobs voted for Maobama. After all, it would only be “fair”.

[Old Sarge]

And according to the maps, Wilkes-barre/Scranton went blue!

SCHADENFREUDE, Baby!

MFH, it looks like somebody’s been following your threads!

On another dim note I think the job losses here in the NYC/NJ area as a result of this storm are going to be larger than one might think. Not just seasonal workers at the Jersey Shore, much more than that.

Of course construction, etc. will be doing quite well for quite a while, so there’s that.

and killed the expansion due to worries about aspects of Obamacare. So jobs, money, and new treatment facilities will now be lost.

And that is something that rarely makes the news or is difficult to grasp by the electorate. While we look at people who actually lose their jobs, we sometimes fail to comprehend or communicate the number of jobs that are never created in the first place.

It's easy to quantify a layoff. More difficult to quantify a job that was never created. The latter in many ways being even more damaging than the former.

You know what, put me on that ping list. I want to be able to prove to the scoffers here that I was right.

[moovova]

Well, the good news...at least based on the election statistics...

Every other one of those laid off voted for Obama.

The bad news?

The rest voted against Obama.

(Unless, employers are able to identify the Obama voters. That would be sweet.)

[Cowman]

I worked in the pharmaceutical research industry for 15 years. I lost two jobs in three years as the companies were closing sites and tearing down buildings to save on property taxes.

And both companies are now building massive facilities in China.

They never came right out and told me that I was losing my jobs because of Obamacare but I could tell by the business volume picking up when it looked like he was going to loose and slowing down when his numbers went up.

R&D is moving to the third world — thanks blue states

[Venturer]

Makes me wonder how many of those fired voted for Obama.

You think the last 4 years were bad?

You aint seen nothin’ yet

[Eye of Unk]

I am willing to bet in most cases the layoffs have a high percentage of liberals in it. And even though its against the law to fire a person for their political leaning there is nothing to prevent a company from letting everyone just go, there is no law forcing a company to keep its doors open as well.

[driftless2]

"Bush will still get blamed"

I wonder how long Obama will use that trope? I guess it never gets old with those people.

[Michigander222]

Hey is the media mentioning any of this (haven’t turned on my tv since Monday..seriously thinking of putting it at the curb).. Or is the media still in “the economy is recovering” mode? Uggg

[ziravan]

This list is the exact list in more or less the exact order it was posted here over several threads overnight. I think this is a FReeper inspired article.

[NoGrayZone]

"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."

I CANNOT believe you posted that! I JUST got off the phone w/ the big boss, who was just checking in on my mental health.

Anywho, he said accountants all over the country are sending out "packages" to people explaining what we can TAKE BACK. At first I protested because I didn't want to be a moocher.

Then he explained "it's not mooching, it's YOUR money and we will find a way to take it back". Also said it's a great way to deplete the moochers "resources" at a quicker pace.

He said we'll be receiving a package in a couple of days from our accountant and we are going to comb through it to see what we can TAKE BACK WHAT WAS OURS IN THE FIRST PLACE!

I'm all for it now. If I'm still working and I can use their commie system against them, I will.

Boss also told me once we figure it out to go ahead and tell everyone on "my blogs", facebook, etc about it and how to do it.

I think he's worried about my mental health, lol.

I’m reminded of a line from Atlas Shrugged: “Brother, you asked for it.”.

[Oldexpat]

My brother’s company helped all their employees who qualified to get on Medical for their families health insurance. It was cheaper than their own insurance,but they are also laying off people to get the headcount down for Obama care.

Thanks a lot for that ray of sunshine. I’ve bookmarked the site, and will make a daily visit to boost my spirits. /s

(Seriously...great site. Thank you for posting.)

The sheeperals will wonder what hit them,
but to 0bama and his elitist ilk,
this is exactly as it “should be”.

People should depend on the gov’t,
not private capitalist entities,
for their livelihood.

[VanDeKoik]

“Hey is the media mentioning any of this (haven’t turned on my tv since Monday..seriously thinking of putting it at the curb).. Or is the media still in “the economy is recovering” mode? Uggg
“

I now dont want them to mention it.

Let the fools go about with a O-grin on their faces only to wake up one day and see the everything on fire.

I will be in my nice lawn chair enjoying some of my food supplies laughing as they run around screaming.

[ArrogantBustard]

The economy will contract and Obama will usher in a lower standard of living for all.

And that will be neither an accident nor a failure.

It will mark the success of 0bama's agenda. His goal is clearly to put America on a par with his native and beloved Kenya.

He is a communist, the goal of communism is equality in misery ... (except for the party elite).

All animals are equal (but some animals are more equal than others).
