Jack DeWitt, Request Foods CEO, Urges Employees To Vote For Romney
WASHINGTON -- In this month's employee newsletter, the head of a Michigan processed-food company endorsed Republican nominee Mitt Romney and criticized President Barack Obama for spending too much government money. Jack DeWitt, the president of Request Foods, called Obama "a complete failure," slamming him on social and economic issues. He did not mention that his company received millions in federal money under Obama.
Request Foods obtained $5.5 million under a federal grant program that Obama's stimulus bill increased by $1 billion. Last year, the company greatly expanded its footprint in Holland, Mich., where it used the money for a water treatment plant to serve a new facility.
The company has also seen a strong increase in sales during the Obama administration.
DeWitt did not return a request for comment; his office said he was not available.
I wonder if he's any kin to sleazebag at the 47%-dinner that got busted for not paying $250,000 worth of federal back taxes? They seem to run in herds....
Some people just can't stay "bought". Doesn't he realize he is messing with Chicago politics. He can expect to find the head of his favorite horse in bed with him some morning.
Some people are able to see the big picture, even if it might hurt in the short run.
