Waco, GA – A west Georgia business owner is stirring up controversy with signs he posted on his company’s trucks, for all to see as the trucks roll up and down roads, highways and interstates:

“New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone.”
“Can’t afford it,” explained the employer, Bill Looman, Tuesday evening. “I’ve got people that I want to hire now, but I just can’t afford it. And I don’t foresee that I’ll be able to afford it unless some things change in D.C.”
well if he has so much business I am sure the other companies are more than willing to take that business and if needed hire more workers
Can’t blame the guy.
he is just saying publicly what every employer in the US is thinking
WOW hopefully they will be hiring in Jan 2013 and not waiting until Jan 2017.
That’s what happens when you live/work in Waco. A wacky name for a place!
What a moran this man is. How can he ignore the fact that g w bush is the one who propeled this recession. When he left office the economy was already a total mess. Does this guy really care about the economy and the true facts about it or he is just out there for some childish recognition.
He really dosnt deserve to ever hire again.
If everything goes the way that I think it might be able to go in this election, I look for Mr. Obama to do a Grover Cleveland. I think that if Huntsman gets the nomination (quite a possibility if he gets New Hampshire), then Obama will be out of office and of course, as Obama is a very intelligent leader, I look for him to be reelected in 4-8 years ahead of us. That would be interesting I think. Grover Cleveland did exactly that and was our 22nd and 24th president of the USA. Maybe Obama will be 44 and 46th.
That’s the way to do it!
Kol Hakavod,
Hope Obama sees it.
to # 1 being president while or before the economy is bad doesnt make it your fault , obamas policys are to say the least not helping the economy, george bushs policys did not have a hand in destabilizing the economy
It’s stupid to blame Obama and to think that once he’s gone everything will improve. I agree that Obama is to be blamed for some of the problems but Congress should be held accountable
HE is making a serious statement here. IF Obama forces employers to purchase health insurance, which by the way has not only hit the roof in costs but blew the roof right off the top, for all employees then businesses just can’t afford to hire new employees and will most likely have to let others go and look to either use more technology or buy more raw material or more finished goods from oversees and use less labor here.
Obama is killing the economy with his concepts and ideas. He is burying this country and his taking Israel down with us. He is the worst president in the history of this country. Lets make sure we don’t make the same mistake we made three years ago when we go to the polls in 2012.
The truth is most companys aren’t hiring they are just not saying it.
The banks haven’t been hiring since he came into office even after the crash banks sometimes hired for example when Bush came out with the tarp bailout.
His new healthcare policy that will cost the employers a fortune is the next big problem.
He wanted to raise taxes on the rich only 2 weeks ago and now that he has to hit boehenner where it hurts and he wants to regain some strength he’s talking about lowering richies taxes. If u look at the construction and real estate sector you will see a total freeze for example commercial loans is impossible for as long as Obabma is around banks don’t trust him contractors and realestate attorneys and anyone involved in real estate construction is practically on a 2 year leave already. If there is no work and u lay off employees they get unemployment and then congress keeps on extending it.
Its a great business policy not to hire now
