"We can't outsource these menial jobs to India or China, so we'll just screw our employees out of every possible benefit, and put them part time, to ensure we 1% continue to profit" said patriotic American Business Owner. "It's clearly Obama's fault. I hope our former full-time employees remember that when they vote - it's not
my fault I moved them to part time to maintain my personal profit margin!"

Darden operates nearly 2,000 restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada via various subsidiaries, including Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse and The Capital Grille.
