'Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone'

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."

Looman's company is U.S. Cranes, LLC. He said he put up the signs, and first posted pictures of the signs on his personal Facebook page, six months ago, and he said he received mostly positive reaction from people, "about 20-to-one positive."

According to the lunatic fringe, the mere presence of Obama is clearly the source of all evil. Wow. Just wow.

1. Guess he must think that government creates jobs...

isn't that anathema to right wingers?

[freshwest]

13. He shoots, he scores! Good one.

[otohara]

2. He's Lying

just another Obama hater.

[krispos42]

3. I fully endorse his position

The fact that he needs to hire, but "can't" (won't) means that other businesses will be getting his customers, the ones he can't service because he doesn't have the manpower.

16. +1000

:thumbsup:

[adigal]

21. Absolutely - and I would not use his company

until Obama is gone. Hopefully, another 5 years!!

[krispos42]

25. He's probably hoping it drives UP bisiness from righties...

...but where will he get the people to service them?

:rofl:

[tularetom]

4. That's right, asshole, don't hire anybody, you'll teach that Obama a lesson

I'll bet he lies awake at night worrying about you refusing to expand your business and increase your profits because you think he's a socialist Kenyan Mooooslim.

Next, why don't you hold your breath until he's gone?

[Politicalboi]

10. LOL!

I can see him now. Tossing and turning at night when Michelle wakes up and asks him what's wrong. And he says "this guy won't hire ANYONE till I'm gone". LOL!

[Initech]

5. Guess they'll have to wait until 2017 - the GOP clown car side show isn't helping.

[no_hypocrisy]

6. He's spiting himself by not hiring. Losing profits.

[Canuckistanian]

7. What total bullshit

Companies don't hire on ideological reasons - not if they want to STAY in business.

They hire because they have DEMAND for their products or services.

Either you have a business need to expand your business or you don't.

Your accountant can explain it to you if you're too dense.

8. He's a horse's ass. Here's his ph #:

Corporate Headquarters
P.O. Box 211
Waco, GA 30182

Tel: [phone]

[vminfla]

19. Quite Frankly, I could use his competitors phone number more

I would be doing business with his competitor, any competitor before I do business with him.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

23. Good for you! :) I was thinking maybe you'd call him and explain to him what he is :) nt

[pinboy3niner]

20. He's posting callers' phone numbers on his FB page

That includes any numbers that show up on his caller ID.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

24. That is his life - living like a f*ckhead. And when he's gone, that will be his legacy. nt

[Plucketeer]

This fruitcake

is further proof that I made an EXCELLENT decision in leaving Georgia in 1981. I hope this idiot's business fails miserably and he ends up destitute.

Ga. intellectual, Bill Looman ->:dunce:

[freshwest]

14. Hey, hey, don't diss the fruitcake! Christmas is coming and you might have to eat one.

[Plucketeer]

9. Sorry - accidental dupe.

[Politicalboi]

11. So now what happens if he has to file for bankruptcy

Due to his own fault? I hope we get to see what happens. LOL!

[freshwest]

15. He'll get a job on Faux...

[The Genealogist]

17. If he fails and has to file for bankruptcy, he'll not see it as his fault

It will be Obama's, or OWS, or some "librul" someplace. And it would not surprise me if this crazy would decide on a "second amendment solution" to his situation.

[deafskeptic]

29. here's an intersting fact about him re second amendent solutions

Think he already tried a second amendment solution a year or so ago. Here's some interesting info:

"Dallas, Ga resident Darren Wesley Huff was convicted today by a jury of his peers for his role in the alleged takeover plot of a Monroe County Courthouse. Huff was ordered taken into custody immediately after the jury reached its verdict on Tuesday after the 8-women and 4-man jury veered towards a mistrial Monday afternoon. Sentencing for the 41-year-old Georgia "birther" will take place in February, according to CBS News.


Huff came to the attention of law enforcement after bragging to a Chase Bank teller that he and fellow militiamen were planning to pay a visit to Monroe County Courthouse, where fellow milita and retired Navy man Walter Fitzpatrick had failed to secure an indictment against Pres. Barack Obama.


We've found indications that Looman and other members of his Northern Georgia Militia (see attached photo) were with Duff that day, but cut and ran when they saw the cops."

There's more stuff on him from Newsblaze but it's a bit beyond the scope of this post. This guy is a loon.

26. He'll file for bankruptcy and hope to move in with his in-laws, after having made an ass of himself

publicly.

[No Elephants]

12. And Joe the Plumber didn't want taxes raised on the rich, just in case he ever became rich.

Seriously, how much confirmation do we need that some folks are fools?

[unblock]

18. this is newsworthy? heck, i want to hire about 9,000,000 people but i can't afford it.

i could blame it on the fact that republicans and right-wingers have far too much influence, which is certainly true, although the fact that i'm not a trillionaire and don't own a business might also have something to do with it.

gosh, i wonder if, in bill looman's case, there might also be factors closer to his actual business that might have more to do with whether or not he hires....



for what it's worth, i know quite a few things about the crane business and it's actually doing quite well at the moment, surprisingly enough. can't speak for looman's particular sales region, though.

[BR_Parkway]

22. Good thing GOP won't pass the infrastructure rebuilding bill - we wouldn't

be able to have enough cranes to get the work done since he won't hire anyone.

Love to see how much business went his way from the stimulus spending

[donheld]

27. I can't imagine working for that S.O.B.

[cyrakitty]

28. What?

Does this guy truly believe our problems stemmed from Obama?

Never mind, don't bother to answer that. At my last job people got in trouble for watching Obama's inauguration because the Office Manager thought we were - and I quote - "worshiping the Messiah".

I must be naive because I am still stunned (once in a while) about how stupid people can be - not to mention vicious.

[appleannie1]

30. He does not own his company and his boss is distancing himself. Bye bye Loomis.

[and-justice-for-all]

31. Then I am not getting a fucking job until repukes are gone!! nt

[dballance]

32. Yep well 20-1 coming from his Facebook friends

A bunch of ignorant asses like him so of course they agree with him. I saw his company's phone number and the prefix is an Atlanta, GA number. He's the same sort of people who agree with Rush that Michelle Obama is "uppity" and all those brown people really need to learn their place.
