OMG, how stupid are some of you people.

So, it's Obama's fault that these businesses are going under? How exactly is that? I would love a thorough explanation how any Obama policy has hurt small businesses. Specifically, please name a policy that has been implemented that is a direct (hell, I'll take an indirect) cause for small businesses to lay off workers or go under.

Fact is that the policies that have been passed have done as much as they can to help out these people. Extending unemployment, LOWERING TAXES on middle class, all while trying to decide on what to do about the money pit that is the middle east as well as rising health care and energy costs, none of which were dealt with over the last 10 years.

Secondly, what exact costs will the new health care bill add to your expenditure? Seriously, do you even know? How much will cap and trade add to your expenditure? You're willing to fight tooth and nail over bills you don't fully understand to keep the status quo which has unemployed millions and sunk the economy into the ground. Sounds like a great plan.

Lastly, the jobs created. Those are govt projects and govt contracts created by the govt. My company has literally hundreds of govt contracts and new ones that came in this past year. In my company alone there have been at least 30-40 jobs created on top of roughly 100 saved. If you aren't working in these sectors then you don't see the impact. Thousands of teachers are still teaching, schools aren't closing, bridges are getting much needed repairs, the list could go on.

Ok drama queen. Guy comes into an ER room w/ a gunshot wound and dies on the surgeons table, who is to blame, the surgeon, or the guy who shot the bullet...

But you may be right, I hear Hitler extended unemployment right before he started his campaign.
