        Can someone verify whether this is another instance in which EPU links something that he has either misunderstood or is misquoting?

          I didn't read the article, but I know that I just spent about $600 on my new Obama altar, and I'm not about to stop worshiping him now. I'm invested.

            I can see why people get pissed at this stuff. Seems like a total overuse of power.

              There are few military contractors who aren't fearful of their job due to the uncertainty that sequestration brings. The layoff notices are formality at this point.

                Here's an idea: read the damn article.

To avoid that issue and protect jobs, the Feds will pay for legal costs if it comes to it. So, now an incentive to fire has been removed. Isn't that... a good thing?

                      Coach is the only one who understands why we should be pissed.

                        And you're just unwilling to explain it.

                        Moving on ... forward!

                          Are you okay that Obama is promising to use taxpayer dollars to compensate contractors who lay anyone off?

                            As long as they don't lay send notices before the election. I'm sure the timing is entirely coincidental.
