Ya right. Didn't that one fat guy say he would leave the country if Obama got elected? Rush was his name.

These guys always make statements like this for ratings. Like everything else they spew out, its hot air.

Last I checked, they're still here.


Unlike someone you aren't in favor being your president, raised taxes is a legitimate reason to leave the country; members at the country club I worked for were leaving already, to places like New Zealand and Australia just to prevent their estates from being touched before their kids can even get to it.

If I were affluent enough to leave, I would too. My father's estate is a double-edged sword, where if I liquidate it to cash, there's a 50% tax on estates now in CT. Not sure if that applies elsewhere. If I leave it all in the stock market, I risk major losses. There's just no winning in this economy that Obama 'inherited' :rolleyes:

Speaking of Alec Baldwin, why did Fox refuse to allow him to use a Hacking scandle joke which resulting in Mr. Baldwin refusing to be part of the recent Emmy awards?;)

Can you provide the quotes on those two actually saying they'd leave? I remember hearing that too, but never saw video or actually read them quoted. Snopes quotes other celebs as saying similar things, but the Baldwin statement is hardly a direct threat to leave and O'Donnell isn't mentioned at all.
Bill O is just looking for ratings. Who GAS?
