One of my employees (salary under $30,000) said she doesn't expect Obama to keep his tax cut pledge and would be ok paying another $2,000 in taxes per year.
One other person declared that this campaign had nothing to do with race and was offended that anyone would make a suggestion that it was.
“Have a nice day”.
A homeless guy asked me for money today, I said, call Chicago, your new President will hand you some cash”
I posted on my Facebook account the fact that I was looking ahead to 2010. On of my lib contacts - one who has been critical of Bush since day 1, commented, “Apparently you didn’t listen closely to McCain’s concession speech.”
I wrote back - McCain has to be gracious. I have to look ahead.
Another one - “I finally feel like we have our country back.”
I teach at a high school in an affluent suburb of Atlanta. We had black students entering school this morning shouting “Black Power”! and “Obama Power” in the face of white students. We had to clamp down quickly or it could have become very ugly.
It appears you are over paying this employee. Tell them that that their 2,000 cut in pay will be used so you won’t have to lay off a fellow employee. or that you are cutting their pay by 2,000 to give it to a lower paid employee so you can help spread the wealth.
Family members imagining that I would want to chit chat about the election as if it wasn’t profoundly evil thing.
All the liberals at work think all their problems are now solved! lol Everyone else I know who didn't support Obama feels awful today.....
"At least we will be getting FREE healthcare now."
Seriously, they think this is gonna just happen. Pathetic.
“Bring on the socialism!”
I couldn’t handle it - I called in sick because I feel sick.
This morning, there were thousands of liberal hippy college students still celebrating outside my apartment. One of the drugged up losers yelled out:
“OBAMA IS THE HOPE OF THE WORLD!”
Apparently he figured that Obama would rapture him all the way up to Marijuana.
It’s somber at work today. Nobody has brought up the election, which tells me they probably are Republicans who want to lose themselves in their work today.
I thankfully have not had to talk to any obamabot yet..I know it will come though. My middle schooler came home today and said that the black kids at school were gloating and acting cocky. I tried to explain that they have a lot to be proud of since the black community has had an ugly past in America and that I hope this heals some of those wounds for them. I explained that we don’t agree with his political policy at all, but that it is understandable that the black kids are happy. Inside I’m thinking that they need to realize that obama would not have one if it weren’t for white votes.
phhhtttt !!
Someone sent me a link to an endless rant on DailyKos.
No, I’m not going to post the link. Excessive vomiting can lead to dangerous dehydration and I can’t be responsible for that.
Somebody told me that people finally voted how Jesus would have voted.
If you have to lay someone off, you know who can be first in line...
There is also something far more terrifying. My own mother is a neonatal nurse, she works with premature babies. She voted for Obama. She voted for the man who will murder her patients!
Never underestimate the power of a charismatic dictator. A demon can foil anyone who isn’t vigilant. Not that you have but just saying.
Perhaps you should give her an immediate $2,000 salary reduction to let her get a head start in household budgeting.
