It Begins… Top Officials from FAA Pressure Employees to Vote Obama or Lose Jobs (Video)

It’s an Obama world.
Top officials with the Federal Aviation Administration pressured employees to vote for Obama and Democrats or face losing their job.
FOX News has more on the story:
Two federal agency supervisors allegedly warned employees earlier this year that a Republican takeover in Washington could threaten their jobs — comments that some workers apparently took as guidance on “how to vote” and that one group claims may have violated federal law.
Nonprofit watchdog Cause of Action wrote a letter Wednesday asking the Department of Transportation’s inspector general to launch a probe into the incident, involving senior officials with the Federal Aviation Administration. The incident occurred in May during a meeting at the FAA’s Seattle office, according to the letter.
Emails obtained by FoxNews.com show one FAA employee recalling what John Hickey, deputy associate administrator for aviation safety, said at the meeting.
“I would not be able to quote Mr. Hickey (sic) exact words but what I took out of it was, if the conservative (Republicans) gain control of congress then the FAA could be looking (at) as much as a 15% cut in budget and we (may) be looking at furloughs. If the liberal Democrats take control of congress then we would be looking at a flat budget,” the email said. “In short if the Republicans win office our jobs may be (affected) … if the Democrats win office then our jobs would not be (affected).”
The recipient of that email then relayed the account, and others, to apparent higher-ups at the FAA. He said, “there seems to be some energy within the office as a reaction to Mr. Hickey’s, inappropriate at best, comments and more than a few employees took umbrage that a person in such an elevated position in the agency would make those remarks.

Read this and then knew that the fix was in. That the same Chicago Thuggery of 08 was still in play.
Once a con always one. And this may seem far fetched but nothing as really changed. We are seeing the Real Obama and the real Communists at work here. I was not buying that Communists live in America until Obama came into the White House.
Obama has played to corporations every need. They get payola and so does he in the form of Votes. Never kid yourself there are some many Socialists and Communists in Obama administration it is shocking, yet, not that surprising.
Obama said he is going to fundamentally change America, indeed he has. If re-elected America will NEVER be the same. We will be under a Dictatorship.

Journalists won’t report this and what about this: http://patdollard.com/2012/09/choir-director-murdered-to-conceal-obamas-homosexuality-drug-use/
Who can stop this man who is making his residency in our White House.
Who will finally give the people of the Nation a BOLT of TRUTH. Movies are out there and Seals are telling us the truth. But who is listening will America make the RIGHT decision and not be swayed by the bosses and their vote is private and should never be played with for more of the disastrous Obama administrtion.
Patty commented:
We have tried to out Acorn, Unions and those who are under the dictatorship of Soros and Moveon.org who is following the same path yet worse then in 2008.
We have tried to fight Planned Parenthood and our funding with our tax dollars.
We are fighting for our lives and yet, at every turn more of the same criminality and attacks.
Obama has failed America and I wonder if this nation is truly Awake.
God Help Us!

Taking this case to the DoJ??????
OMG is that funny!!!
john commented:
Sorry Patty, but America is awake and they want socialism.
All we can do is pray that enough patriots get out and vote in numbers big enough to counter the voter fraud that progressives will surely inflict upon the rest of us.
When an over educated moron like S. Fluke captivates a large segment of this country you know we are in decline.
donh commented:
Another reason to be suspect of polling accuracy. Technology being what it is today, someone with a nice well paying government job or dependant on a government benefit might not be willing to tell an unknown solicitor from a polling company that they will not vote for Obama …and risk finding themselves terminated 30 days later.

Hmm – this would make a great Romney ad – especially the federal government straw boss telling the workers that “if the conservative (Republicans) gain control of congress then the FAA could be looking (at) as much as a 15% cut in budget and we (may) be looking at furloughs.”
What a great reason to vote for Romney and Ryan – they WILL cut federal bureaucracy budgets and folks- we can’t afford the increase in their breadth and depth.
The Romney ad could play Tennessee Ernie Ford’s great son “Sixteen Tons” to show how even the public employee unions have straw bosses whipping them into shape:
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ’cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said “Well, a-bless my soul”

Just some experts from “The Amateur” by Edward Klein
“Obama would appear to be the polar opposite of the amateur who does what he does for the pure pleasure of it. No matter how much Obama likes to parade as a nonpartisan reformer, he is, in fact, the product of Chicago-style politics, which is a byword for patronage, nepotism, bribery, and corruption.”
“To win reelection in 2012, Barack Obama must divert the country’s attention from his record of incompetence and amateurism.”
“Later, after Jarrett left city hall, she became the CEO of Habitat Executive Services, where she earned $300,000 in salary and $550,000 in deferred compensation. She managed a federally subsidized housing complex that was seized by the government after inspectors found crime-infested slum conditions and widespread blight.”
“Axelrod performed a brilliant piece of political legerdemain. He turned Obama’s negatives into positives. He devised a narrative for Obama in which the candidate was presented as a black man who would heal America, not divide it, a moderate nonpartisan who would rescue America, not threaten it.”
All the characters in this amateur’s

Obama signs $63B FAA funding bill into law
The Department of Transportation dispatched a deluge of press releases Friday afternoon, announcing nearly $76 million in grants to eight airports for expansion, repair and safety improvement projects — less than a day after President Barack Obama pledged more infrastructure investment during his Democratic nomination acceptance speech.
“I will use the money we’re no longer spending on war to pay down our debt and put more people back to work — rebuilding roads and bridges and schools and runways, because after two wars that have cost us thousands of lives and over a trillion dollars, it’s time to do some nation building right here at home,” said Obama, a familiar mantra that we’ve heard from the President before.[..........]

Patty commented:
It is all about the votes for Obama. Our money is actually paying for Obama votes.
Think about this, YOUR MONEY$$$MY MONEY$$$$$ GOES TO THE FAA FOR OBAMA VOTES.
Patty commented:
Will Black Panther loving Holder do anything about this, will No voter ID Holder do anything about this, Will the Corruption of Fast and Furious Holder do anything????
Darn right they won’t!!!
Valerie commented:
This kind of thing happens with every election, and yes, it is illegal. I see somebody above already mentioned the law, the Hatch Act.
Economan commented:
In a sane world Obama wouldn’t have been voted in in the first place. Now we’re all paying for the incompetence of the Democrat voters.
chuck in st paul commented:
The FAA SHOULD get a 15% cut – right at the top. Washington is awash in hundreds of Senior Executive Service drones flitting about producing nothing useful.
Of course if there is a cut, you know it will fall hardest on the controllers and technicians instead so that the FAA can weep and cry and wring it’s hands over the terrible working conditions and the danger to the public of over worked employees.
Same crap. Different day.

We already know who Subprime’s base is: the Section VIII parasites and the public-union parasites.
The question is: Which group of parasites is the bigger drag on the American economy?
coolidgerules commented:
All the other agencies are probably doing it to. This is what happens when you let a commie run things. You think they are going to care about laws? When have they? This is nothing less than 4 years of usurpation. They are never straight to the public and they never will be.
