WACO, Ga. -- A west Georgia business owner is stirring up controversy with signs he posted on his company's trucks, for all to see as the trucks roll up and down roads, highways and interstates:

"New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone."

"Can't afford it," explained the employer, Bill Looman, Tuesday evening. "I've got people that I want to hire now, but I just can't afford it. And I don't foresee that I'll be able to afford it unless some things change in D.C."

Looman's company is U.S. Cranes, LLC.  He said he put up the signs, and first posted pictures of the signs on his personal Facebook page, six months ago, and he said he received mostly positive reaction from people, "about 20-to-one positive."

But for some reason, one of the photos went viral on the Internet on Monday.

(snip)

Looman did receive some unexpected attention not long after he put up his signs and Facebook photos. He said someone, and he thinks he knows who it was, reported him to the FBI as a threat to national security. He said the accusation filtered its way through the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and finally the Secret Service. Agents interviewed him.

"The Secret Service left here, they were in a good mood and laughing," Looman said. "I got the feeling they thought it was kind of ridiculous, and a waste of their time."

I wish more companies shared his opinions

Nothing new there. That's been company policy with many a firm nationwide since '08.

This guy just had the balls to call a spade a spade and put it right out there for all to see.  :cheersmate:

I mean they actually found his FB page, and other sites are posting his home and personal information.

So much for their claim of "tolerance".

My company is doing plenty of hiring.  We have to in order to meet all the new regulations the Obama administration has passed.

Looks like the truth put him in the cross hairs with the obamabots and DUmmies. Kind of reminds me of Joe the Plummer, and how he was treated by them for simply asking  a question. The DUmmies can't handle the truth.

Liberals sure love that ol' First Amendment, right up until someone besides them uses it.
