WACO, Ga. � A west Georgia business owner has been deluged with calls and emails after posting signs on his company�s trucks that say he�s not hiring anyone until President Barack Obama leaves office.

Waco-based U.S. Cranes LLC owner Bill Looman tells WXIA-TV (http://on.11alive.com/u8jDri) that reaction has been so intense he�s had to disconnect his phones and temporarily shut down the company�s website.

He posted the signs on his company�s trucks for other motorists to see on roads and interstates across the South. The signs proclaim �New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone.�

Looman says he�s not refusing to hire employees to make a political point. He told WXIA he can�t afford to hire anyone because of the economy, and he blames the people in power.
