Anything that besmirches him or his likeness is considered taboo... I can understand with all he's had to endure back at the beginning when they were all up on him with his BC. with his lapel pin, with Larry Sinclair, that he was a muslim, yada yada yada, that crap and it was crap and I did call it crap from the get go should have toughened his skin not turned him and his supporters into a bunch of whining ninnies.

This BS is an example of his supporters abusing their authority, just like their Precious does...

Company orders 'diversity training' for hundreds of employees

It’s hard to decide which is scarier: a grinning “Barack Obama” wearing a straightjacket or the reaction to his appearance at one company’s annual Halloween costume party.

An employee of Jennie Stuart Medical Center in Hopkinsville, Ky., must have thought he had the costume contest all sewn up when he sauntered into the party wearing an Obama mask and a straightjacket.

And he probably couldn’t believe his luck when he and his two pals actually won the third-place trophy for their Halloween skit “VIP Security,” according to local TV station WZTV.

However, soon after their shining moment, a snafu erupted over their Obama schtick.

“I think it is very, very offensive,” C.E. Timberlake, a local pastor, told the TV station. “And really, that shouldn’t have happened.”

Company officials weren’t impressed either after a photograph of the costumed trio began circulating around the office.

Is this the first President in our history that is off limits when it comes to jokes and ridicule?

If he's off limits why did you post this comment?

What a crock.

Whether you or anyone else likes him or not you will have to deal with him until he is replaced by another Democrat.

This so-called taboo didn't stop you from posting your comment, did it?

Maybe his boss thought it might not be appropriate for the workplace and it didn't have anything to do with being an Obama supporter. Besides, you guys think business owners are all conservatives anyway, because you've convinced yourselves that liberals don't have jobs.

There are any number of behaviors my employees display in their personal lives that I don't allow at company functions. I'm sorry your skin is so thin that you can't deal with being asked to behave like an adult when you're at work.

No, this business owner thought "hey, I better show that we dont condone mocking THIS president". May get in the way of some Obama bucks coming out of Obamacare to the facility.
 
I'm honestly amazed by how far people can take something things, a company doesn't like an employee's costume and suddenly freedom of speech is dead, Obamaphiles are protecting their Precious, Thou shalt not mock thy lord and savior Barak Hussein Obama.

Holy Christ take it down a notch.

What arguement? They got voted 3rd place...obviously people thought it was good.

I'm of the mind that there's no reason to potentially pollute a workplace with politics. Stomp it out.

Why not do it with every President? I think it would be smart to have policies against portraying President Bush in such a manner 8 years ago, just as I think it smart to reject it now.

Maybe some dissident workers should keep their mouth shut and listen to their bosses?

Wearing a costume was listening to the employer. It was a costume party, you dont get that? It was company sponsored.

And after the party, the bosses said: "The company also admonished employees about wearing costumes “with political, religious, ethnic or gender-based overtones.”

That would be the company policy. If they do have one, workers have to follow the rules.

Maybe his boss should get a grip.

You've convinced yourself that everyone who despises Obama must be some far right whackadoodle.

Please, tone down the self adulation, would ya? If these adults were so grown their wouldn't have been a costume party/contest in the first place.

Part of being an adult is relinquishing yourself of self serving attitudes...

This shows you clearly don't understand what Freedom of Speech means.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from criticism. If someone was being jailed for speaking out against Obama, then you could say their freedom of speech was violated.

Any punishment at all is a violation of freedom of speech.

Anybody who is seriously upset by that guy's costume needs to have their head examined.

Why do you think I oppose all that politically correct bull****? It's degrading.
