People Leaving USA Because Obama Won

I know two people at work who said they would move to Canada if President Obama was re-elected. I think many of us have read comments from people saying they would leave the country, for Canada or somewhere in Europe, if President Obama was re-elected. Congresswoman and former republican presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann said she would move to Switzerland if Barack Obama was re-elected.

This morning, I tried to find out if my co-workers were going to make good on their promise to leave the country. The first one said "you people just love to rub our noses in it don't you?" and walked off. The second co-worker laughed said of course he wasn't leaving, although he was very disappointed in the outcome. I asked him, since he considered President Obama a socialist and a proponent of higher taxes and a proponent of abusive national health care system, why would he consider moving to Canada which has much higher tax rates than the US and has a socialistic national health care system. He turned red and said he never thought about it that way. I did not press further.

It seems crazy to me for someone to say they dislike President Obama because he is a socialist and advocates higher taxes, then turn around and say they are going to move to a European country. Don't they know that Europe is the epitome of socialism with free health care, free education up to the university level and many other freebies supported by the highest sales and income tax rates in the world?

I don't want to call people racist, but when they say they don't like Obama because of his socialistic health care and taxation policies, then say they want to get away from him by moving to a European country that is outright socialist with extreme taxes, I have to assume that they are just uncomfortable with a black president.

Do any of you personally know people who said they would leave the USA if President Obama won? Are they packing? Are they moving to Canada or to a socialist European country that offers free health care and charges very high taxes?

Bye, good riddance. I'll celebrate in your honor. Go to another country because I live in the best country on earth! Canada has already said they are tightening security, it is NOT easy to get into Canada. I know a girl that has been waiting 3 years to immigrate.

I have heard co workers say the same thing about moving if Romney was elected. Personally, I did't vote for Obama but I wont leave this great country because he was re-elected.

America is still a great country regardless!

Empty threats. Most people do not have one iota of what it takes to become an expatriate. Rule #1 . The country you are moving to wants to
see if you have enough money to stay there and if not, working papers and a job. Unless they are planning on moving illegally. It's about as silly
as a black person claiming they are going to up and move to Africa Uh-hunh.Meanwhile, most people don't even have enough money to go to mexico on vacation.

Bye

Let them leave America will not miss them. Their absence will provide more job openings. A co worker of mine has been "leaving" since Obama was first elected.

They are not going anywhere , because they don't know shit about the other country in the first place other than the positive things they hear.

They are fast to call Obama a socialist , but then want to move to socialist country because according to them is better than America. The reason a lot of those countries are good is because they are socialist

Which way you want it???
