Della Femina Restaurant is sold (because of our hustler/socialist president)
The Independent (East Hampton) ^ | April 21, 2011 | Jerry Della Femina

Posted on 04/21/2011 1:18:36 PM PDT by dead

...From the very first "Yes We Can" and "Change You Can Believe In," I decided that this country was falling in love with an attractive, great-speechmaking hustler/socialist who, if he got into office, was going to pursue his agenda to destroy the best health care in the world and re-distribute wealth. Yours and mine.

I told my friends that from that moment on everything I owned – my houses, my advertising business, my newspaper and my restaurant – was for sale.

A lot of people have come around to my way of thinking, but there is no way in the world that Barack Obama won't be reelected in 2012.

If you think that Obama's plan for over-taxing everyone but the 46 percent who don't pay any income tax (including his friend Jeffery Imholt and General Electric) will stop after he's re-elected in 2012, you are naïve.

Why does this so go against my grain? Maybe it's because of where I've come from to get to where I am. I've been broke, so broke with a wife and kids and no job that I had to borrow money from my parents, who didn't have it for themselves but always managed to come up with it for me.

I got lucky and worked day and night and built a great advertising agency. I have employed thousands of people in my lifetime. I've been good to them and they have been good to me.

I'm just not ready to have my wealth redistributed. I'm not ready to pay more tax money than the next guy because I provide jobs and because I work a 60-hour week and I earn more than $250,000 a year.

Why am I dropping out? Read a brilliant book by Ayn Rand called Atlas Shrugged, and you'll know...

Excerpted from a larger article, by legendary ad man Jerry Della Femina, about the closing of his famous celebrity-magnet restaurant.

Alot of support for his point in the comments. The ones who attack him are mainly of the "you can afford it!" variety. In other words, no real counterpoint, just class envy.

Did Jerry Della Femina, staunch abortion supporter, vote for Infanticide Obama in spite of knowing he’d be an economic disaster?

This guy is a classic. Who else could come up with a line like this for an advertising campaign.

Thanks so much for the post.

Jerry and I competed for clients on three occasions -- he won two and you might say I lost the other (a client that was convinced it should commit suicide).

He writes so very, very well. Yeah, he's a liberal. But you could do business with the man. He's a good guy, whose heart is in the right place. He may be a Hillary fan, but he clearly recognizes that Obama is a friggin' disaster.

Wish I'd made it to his place...

The “Jerry Della Femina” stories are becoming all too familiar. I pray the nits who failed to recognize this fraud, Obama, will try to re-elect him again. Stupidity is hard to cure.
