Watch the date of the announcement. They don't want bad news to hurt Obama's campaign?

It's good to hear they are cutting back from the Federal teet. The war machine in America ought to be significantly cut back.

From the federal teet,right to the unemployment lines to get their checks! What's the diff, at least we all know they voted to lose their jobs. Good for them they picked that guy again. There is a good side to him winning again.

They were told that not complying with the WARN act wouldn't be held against them, no prosecution or fines. This was mentioned (briefly) before the election. Sounds like voter manipulation to me, but what do I know.
