Slumlord: Voted For Obama, Face Consequences!

Apartment landlord wants tenants to pay higher rent if they've supported President Barack Obama.
The Fair Housing Authority and Better Business Bureau will investigate this controversy. I can assure you that your threats toward the working class will be your downfall.

Republicans and their conservative allies are so frustrated with the election, some will take actions to defeat the Democrats and their progressive allies.

Before we get into the story a few things:

In Michigan, the Republican state governor Rick Snyder will sign the laws that makes union-stronghold Michigan a right to work state. The legislation will make Michigan, another member of the Rust Belt states devoted to breaking up the unions.

In the media, conservatives are threatening boycotts upon MSNBC. Liberal agitators Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, Al Sharpton, Chris Matthews, and Lawrence O'Donnell were meeting with President Barack Obama. The president wants to get his message out there and he felt these guys were effective.

Jamie Foxx is under fire for making comments about "killing White people" and "how Black is that"? On SNL (Saturday Night Live), Foxx monologue has gotten ire from conservatives as being "racist" for the fact that entertainer would say such words.

Bob Costas wraps it up by stating his support for gun control. After reading an article from another sports writer about the culture of firearms and athletes, the longtime sports anchor made the comments on national television. Conservatives and the National Rifle Association have went to arms over that comment. Some are calling for him to be fired.

This and many incidents such as the one explained today will be a reason for the Democrats and their allies to have an aggressive campaign. The mistakes of the 2010 Midterm elections gave the Republicans control of the House of Representatives and many state/territorial governorships. These Republican governors have passed legislation that has brought upon voter identification laws, drug testing for safety nets benefits, rollbacks on safety nets benefits, limitations on voting times, redistricting political districts to give Republicans an advantage, rejecting federal funds for infrastructure and of course not accepting the Obamacare federal law.

The president's trouncing of perennial loser Mitt Romney has be devastating to Republicans. Many small businesses and companies want to take repercussions upon the American worker because of this.

In Colorado a landlord wants his tenants at his Casa Adobe complex to fork over more cash to live if you're a supporter of President Barack Obama. KRDO-TV an ABC affiliate station reports that Dr. John Obringer of B & J Enterprises sent out a letter to his tenants at the Casa Adobe Apartments on Wednesday.  The letter was addressing cutbacks on staff and maintenance issues.

"Due to the stupidity of the U.S. electorate, the Obama-administration's continued assault on small business is resulting in increased taxes, regulations and mandates that are forcing the management company (B&J Enterprises, Inc.) for Casa Adobe Apartments to modify its operation to survive.  This has resulted in layoffs, work-time reductions and decreased pay for workers.  Consequently, the business hours are now Monday and Tuesday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.  Please plan accordingly ... We are working hard to maintain the field, cleaning and maintenance personnel in place without raising rents, but that too is inevitable due to the upcoming inflation and market forces," writes Obringer.

"If you have any questions, comments or criticisms, please call me. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and Happy Holidays to you and yours," continues Obringer.

Then he added, "BTW: If you voted "Democrat" on Nov. 6, please notify me ASAP so I can raise your rent first to help pay for what you asked for."

Landlord John Obringer threatens tenants.
"I think it's wrong.  That's your constitutional right to vote for who you want," said a tenant who wished to hide her identity.

She went on to tell KRDO News Channel 13 that Obringer had already threatened to kick her out for voting for President Obama.

But her neighbor, who also wished to hide her identity, came to Obringer's defense.  "It's just John.  He's kind of a quirky landlord," she said.

So far, the tenants said nothing has changed.  But the future is up in the air.

Obringer refused our requests for an on-camera interview.

Now you're the stupid one, sir!
