Obama has come out in a strong condemnation of the office
supply company Staples. He says they
should be ashamed of themselves for deliberately cutting employee hours to be
under 30, so that Staples does not have to pay health benefits. “I haven’t looked at Staples stock lately or what
the compensation of the CEO is, but I suspect that they could well afford to
treat their workers favorably and give them some basic financial security.”
COMMENTS:
The facts are: (1) Staples is on the verge of bankruptcy and
is merging with Office Deport; (2) Staples initiated its part-time policy back
in 2008, long before ObamaCare was ever conceived; (3) having part-time jobs
makes it easier for college students to bring in some income, and (4) he’s the
one who wrote the law the way it is, so that it encourages businesses to cut
hours. This guy has never had a good
word to say about anybody except, of course, Kamala Harris of California.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What do you think about the fact that both the House and
the Senate passed the Keystone Pipeline Bill?
(Georgia ~ Kerrville, TX)
A. That’s not the real question. The real question is this: Obama is asking Congress for some so-called
war powers; how will they respond when he vetoes the Keystone Pipeline?
Q. Do you think it was fair for NBC to suspend Brian
Williams for six months? (Kelly ~ San Carlos,
CA)
A. What’s NBC? Who is
Brian Williams?
Q. The Pentagon spent over $500,000 on Viagra last year plus
more on Levitra and Cialis. What is
going on? (Jennifer ~ Santa Fe, NM)
A. The money was budgeted for “Troop Support.” How’s that for a tongue-in-cheek
response? Evidently, it is true that our
military is getting soft.
