That's your evidence? :lamo
Why would Obama asked that layoff notices be held up, if no layoff notices needed to go out?
I double dog dare you to tackle that question.
Here's what you're not getting:
The layoffs aren't necessarily occurring by January 6th, and right now no specific contract or plant can be identified as being cut. There's nobody to send notification to.
Why did Obama cut a deal with the conractors, then?
Nixon was never convicted.
Or even those who encourage criminal activity?
The Obama admin has essentially offered defense companies a payoff to break the law (violate the WARN Act) in order to not hurt his chances at re-election. Is this not criminal activity?
If you offer to pay someone to kill your spouse, are you not charged with attempted murder?
Larry Craig got run out of office for tapping his foot in an airport restroom stall. Isn't offering to pay companies (with taxpayer $$$ no less) to break the law a much more serious offense?
If he will do this to get re-elected....what will he do if re-elected and has no fear of having to campaign again in 4 years?

1) The President has an ability to waive the WARN Act as his power is to enforce the law
4) Congress is much more to blame for this than the President is, since Congress won't confirm a budget for these defense companies. I don't see why we should once again blame the President for something that is the fault of Congress.
Only under specific conditions that do not exist at this time
Because congress isn't the one offering the payoff
As long as the sentence is completed, I have no issue with a person running for office. Laws barring said people should be repealed.Or even those who encourage criminal activity?

You understand you can be sued even when you haven't broken the law, right? Like, for instance, when somebody thinks you have broken the law because they don't actually understand said law. Like people in this thread.So why then the offer of a payoff by team obama?
Nixon didn't know anything about Watergate, either.

But you know what? It's not up to me to prove a law hasn't been broken. It's up to the accuser to prove that it has. So, give me a concrete example of someone who is definitely getting laid off before January 6. For that matter, how much do you think is really going to happen within a week of the cuts going into place? This is the federal government we're talking about. It'll take them a month to decide who should decide what projects are cut. Actual layoffs are probably going to happen in freaking April.
Bottom line? It's politics. Hey, just keep quiet on this until after the election and we'll cover any legal fees that might result, and I promise we'll talk about skipping the defense cuts entirely.

In reply to the thread topic. No, anyone who has commited a felony and some of the more serious misdemeanors should not be entrusted with public office, nor should they be entrusted with a public trust.
