Obama ignoring the law for re-election?

Back in August, the Labor Department advised defense contractors against giving layoffs to employees who would lose their jobs if sequestration took place. This advisement is possibly against the law, as the WARN Act requires a 60-day notice for all federal contractors who lay off employees. The Administration argued that since sequestration is uncertain, layoff notices would not be appropriate.
Why is this news? Because as Senator John McCain Tweeted on Friday, those layoffs would have happened today. Four days before the election, possibly one million Americans would have been laid off, as per the law.
We can’t be certain of the President’s intentions regarding his decision to ignore the WARN Act, but considering that he decried employers who ignored it back in 2007, this is almost certainly a political ploy.
This is another reason the Tea Party is so necessary. Tea Party Patriots doesn’t like the Budget Control Act, which enabled sequestration. We opposed it prior to its passage last year. However, if Congress can’t even slow spending as proscribed in the Budget Control Act, how can we count on our elected officials to actually cut spending? The fact is that the record spending over the last five years must stop, but if we let Congress overturn the Act without actually implementing it, we allow Congress to fully avoid its duty to return to fiscal responsibility before it’s too late.
How can this election be right? Obama are someone has rigged the Electric Ballot machine’s ballot’s machine. This election needs to be stopped, and have the FBI does some checking on all those machines. That is what I voted on and I Do Not want my vote going to him. Thank you for all the good work you guys have done . Thank you and please see what needs to be done. Get Shiref Joe. God help us if we have him for 4 more years.
Thanks so much.
Millie are you insane? How could Obama have rigged the voting machines? More importantly why would he even need to. He is ahead in both the popular and the college vote. The reason why the republicans will lose is because y’all dont believe in evolution or science. Whenever your people appear on television its a bit embarrassing. In time you will learn that
healthcare is not a bad thing.
The WARN Act does require 60-day notice to federal contractors who lay-off employees, True. Have they been laid off?? No
Was there a need to give notice to someone and they in-fact have not been laid off? No.
Stop reaching, and putting so much effort into trying to twist something into a critique of Obama and his administration lol… You seem desperate.
A person of Color is The President of the United States
A person of Color is the Most Powerful Person on Earth….
Deal with it, or at least have the courage to say that you guys have racial superiority issues. If he were white like us, there would be no complaints and he’d be the best thing since sliced bread. However, he’s not. He doesn’t look like us, so screw him and our country??
I’m not personally willing to throw my daughters future away because the person who’s best for the job isnt my color. I have racist friends that I don’t agree with but I respect for being honest and manning up to how they truly feel. This tea party label is crap…. Cowardess. The country is diverse. Deal with it. Old white men aren’t the sole demographic anymore. Deal with it. The republican party is headed for its demise. Hallelujah
