Cmon man ! Dont put words in my mouth. I did not blame or say anything about Obama in my post and why would I ? He has nothing to do with the liquidation of the company (at least directly). I blamed the Unions and rightfully so.
Why we even have unions in this day and age eludes me. Unions were formed during the days when factories had horrible working conditions and hours, no health and safety laws, child labor (basically a form of paid slavery). Their purpose was to protect the poor workers who had no say and level the playing field. In this day and age we have enough rules, regulations and restraints that prevent employer abuse.
Unions have devolved from organizations that protect the average working man to the largest, most powerful and disgustingly rapacious special interest groups in the country.
They cost taxpayers billions of dollars, their members are over-paid and under-worked, they ruin public education etc... Everywhere they go they cause destruction. Look at the heavily Unionized cities in the rust belt ... look at cities like San Bernardino ... all broke !!
But the worst part is that they have the power to swing national election outcomes. They handed Obama Wisconsin, Ohio ... fuck even Michigan. It does not matter ... Liberal , conservative or anything in between ; Unions are evil and they need to be stopped.

18,500 jobs GONE. Sad for the country but I LOVE IT ! Those greedy, socialist, union thugs had it coming. This is just the beginning though ... wait till Obamacare and we'll see more of this.
Wow, you are really filled with hate aren't you?
If Obama saves companies and jobs, he is a socialist thug who is interfering in the market and isn't letting free market economics take it's course.
If Obama doesn't do anything and let's the free market economy take it's course, he is a socialist thug who is causing companies to go bankrupt.
You right wing nut jobs are really sad and pathetic.
Do you think it's possible that company wasn't being run efficiently, nobody was buying their shitty, unhealthy products any more and they deserved to go bankrupt?
