I received this brief e-mail from a friend who, up until recently, has been an ardent Obama supporter (needless to say, our friendship has been hanging by a thread). He has worked as an engineer for Lockheed Martin Air Force Strategic Programs for almost forty years, which sets the scene for his sudden political epiphany:

Thank you for sending along the link to your commentary on the election. I think you hit the nail on the head. Lockheed is starting to send out Work Area Reduction Notices (WARN) thanks to Obama’s sequestration policy. 10,000 people across the corporation for the first wave. These are the dark days (no racial pun intended).

It's beyond amazing how four years of political loyalty can go up in flames when the pocketbook, and family security, are involved. This man had no time for conservative political commentary until the spectre of a pink slip reared its ugly head. But no worries. He can much more easily get himself onto the Social Security 'disability' rolls, and become an appreciative food stamp recipient. I suspect that many, many more Americans are going to become grateful for the massive so-called 'safety net' of entitlements that is going to become the means of survival for them over the next four years ... and beyond.
