    I am becoming increasingly concerned about the mind- set of some
    American citizens and their ability to reason. I'm sure that with this
    opening sentence someone has already labeled me. Using terms such as
    "citizen"; "patriot"; "American" and the like are now perceived by
    certain Americans to be negative. I am an African American who voted
    for Barack Obama in 2008 based on my evaluation of his candidacy, what
    he stood for, and my belief that he could do what he said he would do.
    I have a genuine like for the President, which has nothing to do with
    my evaluation of his success in office thus far. The two points are
    mutually exclusive. I know how to separate out my emotional connection
    to him and my logical assessment of his performance. Because I am not
    happy with his job performance, I run the risk of being called a sell
    out, disloyal and whatever else. Can't wait to be called a "racist"!!
    I really don't understand this phenomenon. For any white person who
    consciously voted for Obama, and doesn't vote for him again the "R"
    word automatically applies to them.

    In my professional career I have terminated a number of people I
    truly liked. Termination became necessary when sub-standard job
    performance jeopardized the stability and success of the business. The
    issue of poor job performance was always the driver and in most cases
    the person being terminated knew that his work performance was
    unsatisfactory. Feedback was always offered long before the
    termination and an improvement plan went into affect. The mid term
    elections and the recent decisions in NY-9 and Nevada can be viewed as
    performance evaluations for the President. He has made a conscious
    decision not to accept or listen to the feedback. If he is not
    re-elected in 2012 he will have a very difficult time accepting the
    fact that he himself was the reason he did not get re-elected.

    Well, I hope when you're re-hiring folks to fill those positions, you slash the starting wage, and demand they not have a life, and accept a salaried position (so they are free to work all the OT you can force them to without paying them any OT). The important thing is that you're still employed.
