WWe Chairman Vince McMahon Dislikes Barack Obama
http://rajah.com/base/node/14856 ^

Posted on 01/20/2009 3:05:25 PM PST by chevydude26

"Perhaps the main reason World Wrestling Entertainment laid off a number of employees this month is because Vince McMahon himself believes the economy is going to take a turn for the worst this year, mainly due to his negative reaction to Barack Obama winning the United States presidential election. McMahon has been telling people he expects unemployment to hit 10% by the end of the year. While the economic woes haven't greatly impacted his company thus far, the cuts were made in preparation for what he expects to happen."

Vince McMahon knows whats about to happen...and the sad thing is that most companies are reacting in this way because they are afraid of obama's redistribution of wealth.

no this isn’t an on air storyline...this is him laying off a large number of the performers due to the incoming obama administration...

in fact many other companies did the same which is why we have a 7.5% unemployment rate all of a sudden

The McMahon’s are Republicans, or so I read. He knows what is about to happen, he isn’t taking any chances

As much as I dislike steroid operas, I might just have to tune in if old Vince is going to treat the messiah with anything less than fawning reverence.

Maybe he’ll get The Rock to put the smack down on a 0 lookalike.

If anyone can spot a huckster, Vince McMahon can.

Maybe Vince is afraid Obama will start his own wrestling show. Michelle does have the physique of a young Andre The Giant.

Lol. I remember when Raw came to St. Louis a couple of years ago. Vince's song "No Chance" started to play and he came out to the ring. He took the microphone and said, "people keep saying Mr. McMahon is going to hell. Well, when the driver picked me up from the airport we got lost and ended up in East St. Louis. I thought I had went to hell."

There was some laughs mixed in with the boos. Even though he played the bad guy.

I took my airless paint sprayer in today for repair about 8:30 or 9 am. I asked them about the turnaround time. They said it should be ready by noon, which it was. They said when painters are busy, we are busy. When they’re not, well, ...

I watch carefully as I drive around, and I see more closed businesses here and there all the time. The economy is stagnant. Both businesses and people and being very careful about spending money. Everyone with functioning brain cells knows that we are really in for it with this nimrod in the White House, and with the nimrod party well in command of Congress.

I occasionally still watch a WWE program or two and I happened to watch a little Monday night. They showed a clip of President Bush receiving a World Title belt (I believe because of the support the troops efforts WWE does). Not a coincidence I am sure.

Also a couple of subtle shots at Bambi in the commentary and by a wrestler.

Vince supports the troops with entertainment every year even after the surge.

Compnies everywhere are starting to lay off in anticaption of what they expect him to do to corporate taxes. That means that when those 20 somethings that voted for Prez 0 get laid off they can think about the change they voted for. I think that by this summer unemployment will be worse than 10%!
