And so it begins..

[Ciexyz]

The first of many such announcements.

[dfwgator]

The Big Shrug has begun.

Oh my GOSH, when was this ever disclosed?/sarc

Oh my GOSH, suppose Obama has some explaining to do?/sarc

Think the Media knew this before the election?/sarc

Think we need a Supreme Court interpretation on the "Label Disclosure Act" for products to extend to Candidates and all Media outlets?/s (if that is what the label disclosure is called)

[My Favorite Headache]

North Virginia is going to basically morph into what the District of Columbia looks like....because nobody is going to have a high paying job or will be able to afford living there.

Gonna be a lot of desperate people out there very shortly.

Ugly has arrived.

[Arthurio]

This is what they asked for.

[Sarah Barracuda]

What’s that saying...oh yeah now I remember..Elections Have Consequences

[ArmyBratproud]

This would have been announced over a month ago, but Obama told all the union shops and other companies to hold off on notifying people about layoffs until after the election.

Nevermind the fact that, law requires a timely and multi month notification of layoffs.

That some management took an early hit is a bad sign. When it hits the union gimps, they’ll be awoken to a hell of a sad reality.

DOD probably provided 50% of California’s wealth since the 2nd WW. Those times are gone.

DING DING DING!!!! You hit it Annie...... they need disclosure labels a la prop 37!!! We need to know what’s in the BS the media feeds us!

My current DoD contract gig is in San Diego as I have to be onsite to do it. CA is getting my state income tax even though I'm a resident of Idaho. If the spigot goes dry, I'm going to be packed and headed home to Idaho overnight. The financial drag of renting a room, paying the high cost of living on the San Diego economy and high CA sales and income taxes are unsustainable if the paycheck stops. The jackasses in CA put Obama back in office. I won't have a moment's reticence to head directly home. I've had to be away from my family since June 2009 because of Obama.

“This is what they asked for.”

Well they can enjoy the free birth control.

[annieokie]

I’m as Serious as a heart attack on that one. I do believe that something needs to be done about FULL DISCLOUSURE from the Media, and before any election takes place, or they can be held accountable via class action lawsuit.

“This would have been announced over a month ago, but Obama told all the union shops and other companies to hold off on notifying people about layoffs until after the election.”

Boeing unions were a big deal since they didn’t like the idea of a SC plant.

[eyedigress]

The furthest west I stayed loyal to was Arizona. It dried up.
I did bid on contracts in SD.

My wealth tripled in Tennessee. North Carolina is now my place of residence and the work is non-stop. DOD and civilian.

[antceecee]

We should be able to sue... after all we PAY to view their so called service via cable! Need to file class actions on them all.

[eyedigress]

BTW, that AZ gig was 7 years running the LAFB B&G range for the tech side of the house. Don't be afraid of relocation. Lot's of very nice country and good people. It pays at least as well as anywhere, taxes are much lower. 3hrs from the beach and 3hrs from this......11/04

November 3rd.....
