Small businesses should change their names to things like "AIG" or "Goldman Sachs" or "General Electric" so they can get bailed out too.

If they had their employee healthcare premiums lowered, they would hire more employees.

Not so, the 14 people i know whom have lost jobs and homes under MR. OBAMBA, do not think so, 3 just 2 1/2 months ago. Middle aged very nice Men, who have been working at their places of employment, since they were very young. One a bus driver, this is happening too often.

Everyone is talking about these dang jobs, tell me please where they are, these guys i know, are willing and ready to relocate. But they want the same pay as they were making, the same benefits, and guarantee not to be laid off. Older men have a tough time finding jobs once they get middle aged, it is very depressing, when they are out of work, and they also drive their wives nuts. Two are very good mechanics, and how hard can it be to find a good mechanic's job, should be easy no.

Some are in their late forties, almost fifties, pretty tough, but they are not ready to retire yet. And no i do not believe it has gotten better since Obama has taken office. Everhting is up in price, on the down side we have under his leadership experienced the worse housing criris ever, and still going strong. Unemployment inspite of what they tell us, is still happening, this is not the Hope and Change i hope you like.
