"Unfortunately, the president appears not to have all the facts," Staples spokesman Kirk Saville said in a statement. "It's unfortunate that the president is attacking a company that provides more than 85,000 jobs and is a major tax payer.""

    Obama sounds like a Communist. I also think the CEO is full of crap. It is most likely the reduced hours are a direct response to the ACA and he should just say so. This law is a disaster for the middle class.

    Good for Staples

    They aren't the only ones doing it by any stretch either.

    Health insurance used to be part of a benefit package used to attract employees. Once it becomes a mandated requirement, a company has every right to use any out the law allows.

    They are in business to make a profit, not help politicians get a nice mention in the history books.

    Shame only works very short term, if at all. People offering to get more done at a company that pays more is the only long term approach. Shame is at best a laughable political ploy.
