Quiz: How Well Do You Know Team Obama?

Gorsuch Ltd in Vail, CO has been in business for over 45 years. Like many small businesses they use a line of credit to help buy goods, operate their business and pay employees before their sales are accomplished. This business is family owned and operated by two 1960 U.S. Alpine Olympians, David and Renie Gorsuch. I was one of their teammates and have been close to them for over 50 years. Today, when I spoke with Renie Gorsuch, I asked her how things were going. She told me they were terrible because the bank they had been dealing with for many years had frozen their line of credit. I am not sure how many employees they have, but they have 3 stores in Vail/Beavercreek, 1 store at Keystone and 2 stores in Aspen. I would approximate their employees somewhere between 200 to 300. I think that this is the very thing that President Obama is trying to solve--bank lending. The Gorsuch family business does not have TIME, as everyone suggests. Their crisis is NOW. What can President Obama do?
