Obama wants defense contracters to ignore the 60 day notice required by the WARN law in firing employees. In compensation, Obama promised to cover any litigation costs using tax payer dollars. Quoting: Renegade (Me too) [link to www.foxnews.com] I suppose Obama is afraid he will lose votes. The legal 60 day notice would require defense contracters to give notice before elections. Obama would rather just fire them at the first of 2013 with no notice. Not a problem ... he can throw a few billion tax payer money at any litigation. This is wrong. Telling people to break the law. This is dirty and so twisted. Anything to win or keep a vote. No lengthy thoughts necessary, this is clearly without question a political ploy at our expense. It is illegal and will ultimately either help vote this evil tyrant out, create more means for impeachment or cause the populace to rise up against tyranny. Sick...just sick how bold and brazen this guy is. America...you should be OUTRAGED! You summarized very succintly. Thanks. I am outraged. Who is John Galt? |

User ID: 3677166 United States 10/03/2012 09:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i still think this is a huge story which is being ignored. from fox news: "Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., also said it was "troubling that the Obama administration would openly encourage the violation of federal law and offer to pay the legal fees that resulted." Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., claimed Obama was trying to prevent layoff notices from hitting mailboxes "right before the election." "This is typical Barack Obama politics -- being supportive of the WARN Act when convenient and against it when it creates political downside," Graham said. "This is the most outcome-based White House in memory." Lockheed Martin has reportedly already backed off threats to issue thousands of layoff warnings ahead of the election, in response to the administration's latest assurances and guidance."

Quoting: davvi I too, feel encouraged to violate federal law, as should everybody! Our dear leader has made it very clear that rules are meant to be broken. So go forth, ignore the laws, just tell the cops Obama said it was ok. /sarcasm (maybe) |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 904160 Why would someone vote for a party who constantly says that they hate you and want you to be unemployed? They have suppliers in America... the fun toys they build, are made with parts from here an overseas.... Jobs lost. |
