A business man going by the name of Bill Looman, has a company policy: "We are not hiring until Obama is gone." Reported from Think Progressive, the man stated: Now I'm not a business man myself, but I don't think not hearing people in tough economic times to protest the man who's trying to make things better, is a good idea. On a side note, I don't think you can complain to the same man for not creating jobs or some crap excuse, when you refuse to hire anyone. As you read the article, you'll see that he's much crazier then he seems, as noted on his Facebook page, his anti-Obama views are so extreme that... But it gets much more loony: thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/11/27/376148/georgia-not-hiring-until-obama-gone/$10 says Looman'll say that the fact Obama will give tax-breaks for hiring workers at the moment Looman decides not to hire proves Obama is against him, or some similar crap like that. |

I've looked through a bunch of this Looman guy's nonsense on his facebook page.
To make a long story short, Barack Obama is personally making his life a living hell.
Looman doesn't ever bother to explain how or why Obama wants to destroy him, but it probably has something to do with the fact that he is a muslim. Seriously, we could make an entire STDT section based on his insane facebook ravings.

Hey, more incentive to re-elect Obama. Nuts like this shouldn’t be in business.
Of course, I suppose those people he does currently employ would pay a price, too. If we can start getting some quality jobs created, though, it could work out better for them. Y’know, cause they could hopefully wind up working for someone who isn’t batshit.

The market will punish him for his stupidity. Other companies will hire employees and become marginally more profitable compared to him, putting him out of buisness. At least in a perfect market.

Well, he'd better not fire or lay off anyone then, considering that he won't get any new employees till at least 2013, and probably not until 2017.

First of all, the perfect market just doesn’t exist. That’s perfection for ya. Second, this kind of boneheaded move is bound to get him even in the imperfect market that exists. Though I wouldn’t necessarily put it past him to somehow manage to hang on longer than any sane person would want to even try to do. |

We get to elect our politicians (to an extent), why can't we choose our bosses?
It's pretty funny how crazy these people go when there is a non-white president. Their whole world is falling apart and it's bloody hilarious.

Oh, you guys think he's actually going to stick to his word even if he suddenly decides he'd make more money by hiring people. How cute. |

More irrational than the average conservanut. That alone makes him more likely to stick to his word. |

More irrational than the average conservanut. That alone makes him more likely to stick to his word. Seems more likely he's just showing off. That's largely what politics is about. Unless he's a total moron (which would raise the question of how he came to be owning and running a fairly large and successful business in the first place) he'd know full well that he can say shit like this without having to even think about following through because the average voter doesn't have nearly enough of an attention span to ensure that he does. |

I'd like to follow this story very closely, I love watching people who are insane AND stupid AND pigheaded get their just deserts. -giggle- It's like that one-episode-a-season of South Park where everything lines up and Cartman gets called on his bullshit from all sides without becoming a karma hoodini.
