Valerie Jarrett, a senior advisor to the President, said Obama will sign a memorandum to ensure federal employees have access to at least six weeks of paid sick leave when a new child arrives.

That phrase irritates the h3ll out of me.

Yep, it sure looks like 0bama is going to try using his pen and phone for a memorandum on this.

“That phrase irritates the h3ll out of me.”

This is the one that does me in:

“Valerie Jarrett, a senior advisor to the President”

From where does the money to pay these people for sick leave COME?!?!!? Doesn't Congress have to approve of the expenditures?!?

The only thing that they can think of is to give somebody else’s money away.

The president will also call on Congress to offer six weeks of paid administrative leave.

If a federal employee wants to burn their sick leave for maternity I am fine with that. Its their leave and they own it.

But granting admin leave is insane and will only lead to employees further abusing their sick leave balances for golf and shopping.

Heck if I put my liberal hat on I would call it discriminatory since no gay men will be able to participate.

*
I’d be willing to give him almost 2 years of mandatory paid leave.
No ‘pushing’ needed.
It would be “mandatory” that he leave of course.

I’ll second that even though crazy Biden takes his place, at least Joe doesn’t hate our nation.

It makes sense because it is soooo easy to do! It is sooo easy to buy parasites and their votes, and then charge it. It’s a no brainer.

That’s the problem with commie third worlders like Obama. They love giving away OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY to their sick, lame and lazy friends.

We knew that when Clinton signed the original FMLA that it would be only a matter of time before they would demand to be paid for as well.

Meanwhile the IRS says our refund checks will be delayed...

Haven't gotten a refund check in years, I don't like giving the Feds an interest-free loan.
