Murray Energy Corp. CEO Enters 'Survival Mode' After Obama Reelection, Announces Layoffs
11/09/2012
With President Obama sticking around for another four years, Murray Energy Corp. CEO Robert Murray has entered “survival mode,” announcing Wednesday that more than 160 employees at various subsidiaries will be laid off [ http://www.wtov9.com/news/news/murray-energy-confirms-layoffs-three-subsidiaries/nS2qF/ ], in part due to Obama-related regulations and taxes, WTOV reports.
Murray outlined his views in a letter to employees, which included theories including that a new carbon tax will subsidize Obama supporters and lead to the "total destruction of the coal industry [ http://www.theintelligencer.net/page/content.detail/id/577008/Murray-Prays-for-America.html (next below)]," perhaps by 2030.
“Lord, please forgive me and anyone with me in Murray Energy Corp. for the decisions that we are now forced to make to preserve the very existence of any of the enterprises that you have helped us build,” Murray reportedly read aloud [ http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/after-obama-re-election-ceo-reads-prayer-to-staff-announces-layoffs/2012/11/09/e9bca204-2a63-11e2-bab2-eda299503684_story.html ] during a group prayer with staff members Wednesday, according to The Washington Post. “We ask for your guidance in this drastic time with the drastic decisions that will be made to have any hope of our survival as an American business enterprise.”

Murray Prays for America
Coal mining chief outlines hardships to come for energy
The Intelligencer / Wheeling News-Register
November 8, 2012
Editor's note: Robert E. Murray, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Murray Energy Corp., delivered this prayer and message to approximately 50 staff members on Wednesday afternoon. He provided The Intelligencer with the letter he read to employees upon being asked to comment on the layoff of a number of employees the day after the 2012 general election. He said the company will be forced to make more layoffs in the coming months.
---
Mr. Robert E. Murray's Prayer, as shared with his workers:
Dear Lord:
The American people have made their choice. They have decided that America must change its course, away from the principals of our Founders. And, away from the idea of individual freedom and individual responsibility. Away from capitalism, economic responsibility, and personal acceptance.
We are a Country in favor of redistribution, national weakness and reduced standard of living and lower and lower levels of personal freedom.
My regret, Lord, is that our young people, including those in my own family, never will know what America was like or might have been. They will pay the price in their reduced standard of living and, most especially, reduced freedom.
The takers outvoted the producers. In response to this, I have turned to my Bible and in II Peter, Chapter 1, verses 4-9 it says, "To faith we are to add goodness; to goodness, knowledge; to knowledge, self control; to self control, perseverance; to perseverance, godliness; to godliness, kindness; to brotherly kindness, love."
Lord, please forgive me and anyone with me in Murray Energy Corp. for the decisions that we are now forced to make to preserve the very existence of any of the enterprises that you have helped us build. We ask for your guidance in this drastic time with the drastic decisions that will be made to have any hope of our survival as an American business enterprise.
Amen.
---
Mr. Murray's Outline of America's Future:
What I foresee in America, by Robert E. Murray:
- Drastically reduced economic activity
- Reduced electric power consumption
- Even more drastically reduced coal markets with even worse coal pricing
- Total destruction of the coal industry by 2030
- Enactment of 12 regulations pending from the Obama Administration from the U.S. EPA alone
- Per Sen. James Inhofe, three (3) regulations - greenhouse gas, utility MACT and coal ash - will cost America $600 billion alone
- Likely a carbon tax will be forced to subsidize the government and "receivers" (Obama supporters) in the total destruction of the coal industry, again, the latter as early as 2030
- All coal companies are performing drastically worse than their CEOs and Boards want to report, and this is understandable with their concerns for their stock prices and refinancing
- Most public companies will not be able to continue to emphasize any positive that they have, while avoiding the negatives in their statements and opinions
- The markets will soon take this ability away from these public CEOs and Directors
- Of course, private companies will abandon this business
- We must prepare for this today, and we cannot bleed cash waiting for our competitors to be eliminated
- We must totally go into a survival mode and generate all the cash that we can from whatever we still have left that can help us
- We must tear down all structures in Murray Energy and reassemble them
- While putting Murray Energy into a survival mode, I will be fighting allegations from radical Obama supporters that you know are blatantly false and were inspired only to shut down our opposition to them on behalf of our employees, your area, and our country
- We must be passionate and austere in all that we do.
Murray Energy Corp.
Robert E. Murray
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

Ohio Teacher's Post-Election Facebook Rant Calls Out Jay-Z Fans, Communists, Muslims For Obama Reelection
11/09/2012
Emotions were strong on election day as millions turned to social media to share their thoughts. Among them was a Columbus, Ohio teacher whose post on Facebook has baffled and infuriated parents and students.
Shortly following President Barack Obama's reelection Tuesday night, the Linden McKinley High School teacher posted, according to WBNS [ http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2012/11/08/columbus-facebook-post-leads-to-teacher-investigation.html ]:
"Congrats to those dependent on government, homosexuals, potheads, JAY-Z fans, non Christians, non taxpayers, illegals, communists, Muslims, planned murder clinics, enemies of America, Satan You WON!"

David Siegel, Billionaire Whose Letter Promised Mass Layoffs After Obama Win, Gives Workers Raises
Real estate mogul David Siegel has had a change of heart since telling employees an Obama win would mean major layoffs. In this AP photo, Siegel, left, and Jackie Siegel, pose to promote the documentary "The Queen of Versailles."

In 2007, Siegel's net worth was calculated at $1 billion [ http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2007/1015/096.html ], according to Forbes. But he's not the only billionaire who expressed his anti-Obama sentiments before the November election.
Donald Trump, who has been a vocal Republican advocate since hinting at his own run for president [ http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/05/trump-not-runninng-for-president/ ], called for a "revolution" after Obama's reelection [ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/07/donald-trump-election-revolution_n_2085864.html ]. Casino billionaire Steve Wynn also blasted Obama for instigating "class warfare" [ http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/10/09/steve_wynn_on_obama_ill_be_damned_if_ill_have_him_lecture_me.html ] by "deprecating and calling a group that makes money 'billionaires and millionaires who don't pay their share.'"

Jamie Dimon Is Not Ever Going To Stop Whining About President Obama
By Mark Gongloff
Posted: 11/09/2012 4:35 pm
Tuesday's election may have changed some things in this country, but one thing has not changed: Jamie Dimon is going to keep right on whining about President Obama, thank you very much.
Dimon on Friday afternoon did his whining on CNBC, which has become a sort of Dr. Phil for aggrieved CEOs in the wake of the national catastrophe that is Obama's reelection, according to CNBC. Dimon played some slow-pitch softball with America's greatest journalist, Maria Bartiromo, who threw several fat pitches down the pike.
But the juiciest of all was when she asked him, for journalism, why Obama has such an "antagonistic relationship with business" and when we can expect our civilization to collapse because of it. I'm paraphrasing, but that was the gist of it.
Dimon had, up to that point, been on his very best behavior in the interview, shrugging off her questions about bank regulations by saying JPMorgan would be just fine with any regulations, what are you gonna do, it is what it is.
But when he saw this one juicy pitch from Bartiromo, he could not resist. He reached deep into his temperature-controlled whine cellar and broke out one of his classic whines: A lovely bottle of "Nice Economy, Shame If Something Should Happen To It." In the spirit of post-election bipartisanship, he watered it down a little bit, but it was still classic Dimon.
"This is the greatest economic engine ever built," Dimon began, speaking of America, poor put-upon America, saddled with a president like Obama. "It's growing slowly, waiting to be ignited.
"I have tremendous respect for President Obama," he continued, in the manner of mob bosses throughout the tri-state area, who begin every disrespectful statement by saying "All due respect."
"I just think that business and government collaboration has a much better chance of igniting that engine than this antagonist behavior," he finished.
The subtext, as always: Nice economy you've got there, shame if something should happen to it.
As always, it is hard to know exactly what sort of "antagonist behavior" Dimon and Bartiromo are whining about. True, there was that one time Obama referred to "fat cat" bankers, which still keeps bankers up at night sobbing tears into their pillows full of money.
