How do we know the guy wasn't going to fix it but, after Obama got elected, said "screw it" and went home to wait for his gubmit check in the mail?Automatik;1315362 wrote:Doubtful.

It's pretty cut and dry to me. The owner is an out of touch dumbass.

So what you're saying is businesses aren't happy with Obama? I'm sure that bodes well for the economy. Maybe McD's can lobby to be able to accept food stamps.Automatik;1315368 wrote:The owner is an out of touch dumbass.
I'm just not explaining myself very well today. I was not trying to put words in your mouth. The electoral college keeps states with a high population from drowning out the states with smaller populations. Your solution of dividing up the electoral votes would do the same.WebFire;1315258 wrote:Again, where did I say do away with electoral college? Oh that's right, I didn't.

No. But our system says that the country with 10 has NO say, as it was in Ohio. Obama won popular vote in Ohio 50-48%. Yet he got all the electoral votes for the state.
That is what needs looked at.

Ah, ok. I'm sure my comprehension skills are less than stellar today, with all the reading and nonsense going on.FatHobbit;1315373 wrote:I'm just not explaining myself very well today.

If I had responded more clearly from the beginning it might have been this:

I respect his right to protest what I feel was a campaign well beneath the office, and a media that was embarrassingly partisan. Like it or not, this is very much a result of a divide & conquer strategy. I guess it's ok for the POTUS to do it, but god forbid a citizen should exercise his right of free speech.

You're taking my comments as coming from someone who is "pro-Obama." You're wrong.gut;1315387 wrote:Reminds me of a campaign from a certain recently re-elected POTUS.
Obama played the class warfare game and demonized millions of successful small business owners across the country. So why is it anti-American for them to express their disgust with his re-election and the campaign he ran?
Criticizing one's government is anti-American? I thought that was the country what founded upon.Automatik;1315384 wrote:Protesting is fine, what he did IMO is anti-American.
No I'm not. Your politics has nothing to do with it. I'm saying Obama demonized such business owners and they have a right to be disgusted, and to speak their mind. Reap what you sow. Obama wasn't any better than that and I refuse to hold a burger pusher above the standard set by the POTUS.Automatik;1315388 wrote:You're taking my comments as coming from someone who is "pro-Obama."

All true, but I can guarantee he's had unpleasant conversations with people in Oak Brook, Illinois reminding him that there's no 1st McAmendment, owner or not.gut;1315378 wrote:LMAO. He owns a McD's. He will be just fine.

Interesting question. Assuming it's a franchise I'm not sure what McD's can really do to him. I doubt he's violated any terms of the franchise agreement.queencitybuckeye;1315392 wrote:All true, but I can guarantee he's had unpleasant conversations with people in Oak Brook, Illinois reminding him that there's no 1st McAmendment, owner or not.
Hmmm. The guy chose to make a political statement and it's received national attention. I would guess he's quite pleased with that result. I'm sure he'll make the requisite empty apology, but he accomplished his goals in spades.Automatik;1315393 wrote:I don't believe his method of protest is right or warranted.
Do you think the owner regrets it? I'd bet every dollar I have on yes.

Or he jumped the gun, thought of a way to get his voice heard, went through with it and now backpedaling his ass off.gut;1315400 wrote:Hmmm.

So what you're saying is you're NOT willing to bet every dollar you have on it? Or maybe you only have a few dollars. I don't know.Automatik;1315404 wrote:Or he jumped the gun, thought of a way to get his voice heard, went through with it and now backpedaling his ass off.
It could go either way.
