He'd be a glorified community relations guy who would make nice speechs while adults would run the show.<br /><br />Hasn't really turned out that way, has it? The signs were all there--the Ayers connection, the lack of experience outside the faculty lounge, the "God Damn America" speechs of Rev. Wright...but the moderate Republican elite were lulled by the conventional wisdom that Obama would end up being one of the club...and a useful symbollic gesture to atone for their parent's racism.<br /><br />Hasn't worked out that way.Georgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37193330.post-29952704822236067292011-07-21T08:36:03.251-04:002011-07-21T08:36:03.251-04:00I'm bulletproof; my accounting consists of a s...I'm bulletproof; my accounting consists of a shoebox and 3.5 floppy.

This thug in the oval office is a Chicago gangster all the way. threats and intimidation are his mainstays, he'll punish anyone who goes against his sick twisted orthodoxy, businesses AND citizens. Using the IRS, the SEC, the EPA, heck, even the DOJ against his personal enemies. Its horrific, truly horrific. and the media complicity is disgusting.

Both impact the profits and thus stockholders who may take it out on the company officials. And any government contracts could also evaporate. Unfortunately auditors need to find something or they may be dinged too. It doesn't seem like you have been there, done that, like the President. I have been on both sides of the sharp stick, so I know what can happen. </span></span><span><strong></strong><span></span></span> <span><strong></strong><span>Furthermore I would suspect that the auditors, working for the Obama Administration, would be told to find problems and if they didn't, their jobs would be on the line as was told to the ATF agents who resisted Gunrunner and have testified in front of congress. </span></span><span><strong></strong><span></span></span> <span><strong></strong><span>As a senior test engineer, I lost my job as an auditor in private industry because I refused to sign off on falsified testing I found and the test engineers admitted to in a committee review. Had my disapproval carried, the schedule would have slipped on a multibillion dollar nuclear power plant facility and bonuses would have been impacted. I was the only dissenter, I assume because everyone knew their jobs and careers were most likely on the line that day since we were already behind schedule. As I found out, they were.</span></span><span><strong></strong><span></span></span> <span><strong></strong><span>So industrial leaders have much to fear, as Nixon's enemy's list showed in the past, what government can do to organizations and individuals that challenge it.</span></span>amr1507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37193330.post-83076111828599218012011-07-21T08:06:19.813-04:002011-07-21T08:06:19.813-04:00<p><span>my question is why are they a...<p><span><i>my question is why are they afraid of the irs and sec?</i></span><br /></p><p> <br /></p><p>My question is: Why aren't you?<br /></p>'Jim' 'Treacher'noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37193330.post-75497815279873652222011-07-21T08:04:33.091-04:002011-07-21T08:04:33.091-04:00southernsue,

Once they begin to examine an individual's filings, they can keep going for longer than ANYONE has the money to continue fighting. All the while, costing the business or individual unending legal and accounting fees to keep producing records and representation. Unless you have gone through even a low-level, minor review, you don't know what you are talking about.a bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37193330.post-19381951831835349592011-07-21T07:39:32.525-04:002011-07-21T07:39:32.525-04:00interesting that the irs and sec scares these busi...interesting that the irs and sec scares these business owners.<br /><br />these people are filthy rich, i wonder why they don't fight back?<br />i guess too many skeletons in the closet and obama and his evil ilk know where they are buried?<br /><br />my question is why are they afraid of the irs and sec?southernsuenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37193330.post-25819870546259307872011-07-20T22:24:41.659-04:002011-07-20T22:24:41.659-04:00Despite the feeling of intimidation, Wynn has spok...Despite the feeling of intimidation, Wynn has spoken out, and now Marcus.
