U.S. President Barack Obama singled out office supply giant Staples Inc as undercutting his healthcare reform law and said large corporations should not use the health insurance issue as an excuse for cutting wages, the news website BuzzFeed reported.
"It's one thing when you've got a mom-and-pop store who can't afford to provide paid sick leave or health insurance or minimum wage to workers
but when I hear large corporations that make billions of dollars in profits trying to blame our interest in providing health insurance as an excuse for cutting back workers wages, shame on them, Obama said in an interview with BuzzFeed.

Besides....who cares what Staples does?? If Obamacare is so good, then those employees with less than 30 hours per week can use that. Where’s the problem??? /sarc

Who said it was unintended? Killing the economy is all part of the goal to make people dependent on the government. Dependent serfs are obedient serfs.

Obama has no idea what the purpose of a corporate retailer is. It’s not a social welfare agency.

Government fails. Government attacks business to deflect blame.
Rinse and repeat.
The GOP story should be simple...bad government policy hurts people. The health care law was bad policy top to bottom.

This POS could not manage a McDonalds store. He simply does not understand how a business works.

Typical Obama ploy. When something goes wrong, blame others. Corporations are among his favorite targets.

Have we ever had a regime in this country that goes after private people, and private organizations and corporations by name? We are in a Banana Republic.

Business is supposed to bend over and take it when Dems want to redistribute their profits to buy votes, and damn it, bathhouse Barry is mad!

The system has been destroyed because of illegal aliens. Send them home. If they want to come back, they need to go through the process for legal entry into our country and wait their turn in line.

Shame on obama for making false promises, screwing up our health care, and causing so many innocent people to lose their jobs or be cut back to just part time work

Hey Bozo - you didn’t build it, THEY DID. You don’t know how, THEY DO. Screw off. Their business doesn’t exist to fulfill your political desires. Go build your own business.
