Obama Urges Companies to Break Federal Law for His Reelection

........For the past few weeks, several defense contractors made it clear
they would have to send out layoff notices to thousands of workers due to
automatic budget cuts set to take effect in January. The cuts are triggered
by the debt ceiling "deal" hatched last year. The layoff notices are
required under federal law.
Understandably, the Obama Administration was panicked by this. The notices
would hit in the last month of his reelection campaign and have a huge
impact in the critical swing state of Virginia, home to hoards of defense
contractors. What to do? Simple. Ignore the law.
Yesterday, Lockheed Martin, a massive contractor, announced it had reached a
"deal" with the White House and would not send out the legally required
layoff notices. The Obama Administration had "interpreted" the law and found
it would be "inappropriate" to send out the layoff notices.
More amazingly, the White House promised to pay any fines or penalties that
might be leveled against the company for violating federal law. Read that
again.
Yes, the White House just told companies to violate federal law and that, if
they get in trouble for it, the government, i.e. taxpayers, will cover their
fines. .........
