Obama's Attitude Toward Business Offends and Confuses

Reader Comments
Back to blog

It's clear that the current administration views private business as a temporary artifact of the last 200+ years - that will gradually be replaced by government services. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. We have an arrogant crew of elitists in charge who 'know' what's good for us.

I found Michael's comments amusing. He probably gets his information from Fox News-hardly an objective source. If he wants to see emotionalism, try the birthers or Glenn Beck!

who has never had a job in the real world, bribed the University of Chicago with public money to hire his wife in a phony job, was born of communist parents, promotes wealth redistribution, doesn't like America and liked to "hang around with Marxists and leftist radicals" at college.
Come on - BHO is "Del Norte Che the Urbane"...

Boye of IN have you been a sleep for two years or are you shill for Obama?
No ones been more involed in getting foreign money, foreign pandering, or wanting the US to move towards a new government that mirrors those of foreign country's.
It's time to open one's eyes to see and accept the truth, Obama HATES what America stands for and he is Left's best "hope" for "changing" it.
The have nots hating the ones that have is not an America issue, it's been around since the beginning of man.

...and when they do, their qoutes sre from some leftist organization, nothing from an unbias source!
I see only emotionalism, period!!
Your equations are being broken down, zipper-heads!

It is the foreign money not obama’s deeds. Right ? Thrown in Bush’s fault as well. Am sure you don’t believe in polls either. Obama and Democrat controlled Congress has been on the short end for a long time. Passing legislation not liked. Obama’s view on building in NYC and Arizona’s illegal law. Just all foreign money doings. Well keep dreaming as number of liberals drop.
“Republicans are engaged in ruining this country!” No, not yet. But Nov. 2 is near.
You are just full of generalities. No concrete statements. No examples. No evidence.
Just peddling obama bull.
Why aren’t Democrats running for office correcting this WRONG INFORMATION ? Why are they not BRAGGING OF THEIR ACCOMPLSHMENTS ? Where are their 3 CHEERS FOR OBAMACARE ? Why hasn’t OBAMA CLEARED THE AIR on misinformation ? Why hasn’t Pelosi ? It has passed. Don’t remember obama saying during campaign we must wait 4 year for all of obamacare. Don’t we need that SO CALLED saved money ?
Will have to put you in a museum. Few of you die heart obamaites left. Even obama doesn’t denie SHOVEL READY was not real. You espouse his excuses here.
This ad paid for by my views…

Do you have a source? ...otherwise your diatribe is only liberal rabble!

We are getting bombarded with lies and deceptions by billions of dollars to buy our elections, almost like a 9/11 style assault that will sell off our economy to foreign control faster than the Twin Towers crumbled. This is our Pearl Harbor of Economic Treason - whether we allow foreign money can buy out the Republicans to impose colonialism thru fascist puppets of the foreign corporate interests.
The US defeated fascists in the epic struggle of the last century. Republicans, who were on the fascists side then, are now taking up the fascist banner again with the Citizens United decision selling away the keys to our economy independence to the highest bidder.
Republicans are engaged in ruining this country! All our economic competition is engaged in state capitalism to further their own countries while we have Republicans engaged at undermining our countries ability to compete, promising not invest in the infrastructure necessary to compete, and promising to emasculate the government to resist foreign domination or regulate commerce.
Republicans are trying to sell off America to the highest bidder.
Voters are being raped with thousands of dishonest TV advertisements.
Voters are not getting real information, like the pompous nimrod from MO.
Even Mary Kate here gets paid to write lies and misinformation.
Stand up and vote against the foreign rats trying to buy the Republicans into office.
Don't sell off your vote for so cheap, like flushing the country down the toilet for the price of a TV ad pandering to your fears and insecurities or some loathsome distortion like the callous opinion from a compromised political hack like Mary Kate.

The involvement of Bill Clinton, Frank, Dodds, lawyer obama, and Acorn needs to be fully investigated by independent prosecutor come new Congress.
Being that this recession was caused by interactions of these people and organization. Including election of Barack Hussein Obama.. Connections to Wall Street Companies as well unions need to be thrown in as well.

Bush tried to change Wall Street as well as Fannie and Freddie, only to be spat upon by Democrats.
“Franks Stopped Bush in 03 to regulate Fannie Mae 17 times!”
From NY Times - September 11, 2003
“The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.”
Under the plan, disclosed at a Congressional hearing today, a new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored companies that are the two largest players in the mortgage lending industry.”

The many warning of disaster by Bush beginning year he was elected :

Bush acted properly and stayed out of politics, even delaying his book release, until after mid-term election. Sure look forward to his book. Hope he talks. Maybe ex-obama economic experts will talk. Somebody needs to…
