    The uncertainty of Americans to do anything while the Liar-in-Chief occupies the Oval Office is still very high.

    And the loony left will continue with their extreme left-wing talking points that the rich aren't paying their fair share and that there aren't enough government programs and government isn't spending enough.

    While you are at it, check out how the banks are now lending money out to start up companies. Check out those numbers.

    Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. They have no idea wtf this President is doing or will do so they are holding onto their assets until such a time as they can gain a clearer picture of the economy.

    Like in mid-November when this President is shown the door.

    Just doing business in this country is hard enough.

    Dealing with the EPA and OSHA.

    OSHA is truly not out for the safety of workers, but simply to collect money for the federal government.

    Until OSHA holds the standards that they hold to domestic companies on their counterparts over seas...the nation will never succeed.

    Try it in California if you really want to get crushed.

    Barack Obama has managed with his crony capitalism and runaway socialism to crush the largest job producing entity in the U.S.A. - Small Businesses.

    Yeah, you have an environment where big banks now wont' be giving money out to startup's because they won't be punished for it if they don't (since House Republicans refuse to allow for bank reform bills to actually be enforced), and couple that problem with the fact that in the current monopolized business environement (started by Reagan and perpetuated by the Bush idiots), small businesses can simply NOT compete financially in the current environment, its no wonder.

    Of course, all other positive economic numbers are due to the free market, and Obama has nothing to do with those successes, but any bad news, like the struggles of small businesses, somehow are DIRECTLY Obama's fault and not the free markets, am I right Molon? I mean, that's not a spun distortion and double standard at all, is it?

    What exactly has Obama done to "cause" this problem? He hasn't raised taxes on small business startups. He hasn't created programs to prevent banks from loaning to small businesses. Where is it his fault? Or, as usual, are you blowing smoke out of your butt? I certainly thought I smelled something with I clicked on this thread.

    You must also not forget that the fall in startups that start before Obama took office was all his fault too. That is important to remember. And of course this fall in startups has nothing to do with the recession that started under Bush II. Obama's fault.

    Apparently you don't read much or just choose to ignore it. Obamacare is a huge problem business (the gorilla in the room), and there's this from the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee.

    http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?Article_ID=21097

    Probably dosen't really matter though because it looks like Obama is hell bent on giving out enough free stuff to buy the votes he needs in Nov.

    What about the Democrats who were in control of congress from January of 2007 to January of 2011?

    Libs don't have to worry about anyone creating new companies as long as Obama is president.

    Like Peggy says, they don't have to worry about anything while he's around.

    You remember Peggy, don't you?

    We are already in a depression thanks to Obama, it's just not being advertised by the liberal media. Look at the BLS numbers for Jan 2012 and last few months. Not pretty!

    There were 2.7 million jobs LOST, non-farm, not 243K gained last month.
    Non-farm Employment, Actual:
    Nov 2011: 133,172,000
    Dec 2011: 132,952,000
    Jan 2012: 130,263,000

    Rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline didn't help,as that would have created some small business jobs
    to boot.

    We ran the OSHA inspector off our site because the bastard showed up in street shoes without a hard hat. We told his home office they better not send any more asshats like that.
    They never came back.
