Be careful what ya ask for...

Listening in on G. Gordon Liddy Thursday and he related the contents of an email he received while he was doing his show.

Seems that a business owner with about 140 employees had been watching the economic and tax plans of both McCain and Obama closely to see how the plans would effect his business. The day after Obama was elected, the owner took a good last look at Obama's tax plan and made the painful decision that, among other changes he would have to make, he would have to lay off about 10% of his valued employees. He anguished for two days about who would have to go, and just couldn't bring himself to actually do the deed, but the reality remained that he could very easily lose the business if he didn't make a final decision soon.

To get some time alone to think, he just started walking around the building and grounds pondering which 14 people would have to go. As he walked through the employee parking lot, he saw eight cars displaying Obama bumper stickers.

Guess which eight people will get laid off first.

Is this the change you all wanted? I warned you to be careful, didn't I...but OOOOO NOOOOOO...

This is just one small company. Stand by for the REST of the story in upcoming posts.

You heard it here first...
