Political Advocacy Is One Thing; Cutting off Your Nose Is Another

Someone explain to me how such childish behavior helps this business and extinguishes a smoldering crisis.

"A business owner in western Georgia instituted a new company policy recently: 'We are not hiring until Obama is gone.'

"Bill Looman, who owns U.S. Cranes, LLC in Waco, Georgia, explained that while 'I’ve got people that I want to hire now,' he didn’t think he would be able to foot the expense 'unless some things change in D.C.'
Not content to simply implement the new policy internally, Looman decided to plaster it on all his company’s trucks. He did so, as 11Alive noted, 'for all to see as the trucks roll up and down roads, highways and interstates....'

"More importantly, Looman’s assertion that he would be able to hire more workers but for Obama’s economic policies defies reason. In the last few months alone, Obama has proposed giving major tax credits to businesses that hire new workers, including a $4,000 credit for hiring the long-term unemployed. Just this week, Obama signed a law to give additional tax credits to businesses that hire veterans.

"Ironically, despite the fact that he claims to want to hire new workers, Looman’s anti-Obama anti-hiring stance will prevent his business from enjoying any of these new incentives." (http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/11/27/376148/georgia-not-hiring-until-obama-gone/)

He sounds qualified for Congress, but not to run a successful business.
