Wow, because healthcare that covers 95% of Americans (many of whom will eventually overtax the healthcare system with diabetes and heart disease due to sitting on their fat -sses and shoving Twinkies and tripledecker cheesburgers and chili fries into their mouths) is a bad thing, right?
Ohhhh, I see what the problem is now. You peddle in toxic sludge and you hate that your industry is being heavily regulated by the EPA, under President Obama, so that you can't continue to pollute the environment (polluting the soil, the water table, wetlands, etc)
Got it. Thank you for shedding light on the real reason for the Obama hatefest
The water table????
We grout for that.
How does this pollute the soil, it IS the same soil??
Wetlands???
Who builds in the wetlands to need a water well???
2) Capital expenditures are too risky. Why should I purchase and/or expand facilities when the return on investment is far from calculable? Why should I purchase inventory and equipment when expectations for future sales and growth are far from certain?
Expectations are never 100% certain. That is such a vague statement. "I can't say for sure what will happen, so I don't try to start a business = I am ***** and I blame others for my fear of failure."

4) Inflation. The weak economy is putting downward pressures on prices while inflation begins to soar. Profit margins are too thin. It's business suicide.
Inflation is not higher than it was pre-Obama.

5) Credit. Access to the capital markets is very limited, to say the least. What has this government done to make sure that us business owners have what we need to succeed? Nothing to speak of, which could hinder my ability to expand.
I thought Government should stay out of that? There are private investors you could ask. Too scared no one likes your idea?
There were valid reasons for the vote against. Specifically, the new Form 1099 requirement that not a single sane business-owner in America would embrace. Democrats wouldn't budge on it, or other amendments.
Nice try. But it's not always as clear as a news headline, as you hoped.

Umm, we'll remember that the next time that you and your ilk post a "Obama is destroying America" article
Obama has done his share with all his class warfare saber rattling, threats to bankrupt entire industries, obvious pro-union/anti-business rhetoric, healthcare reform that puts the onus on business, and encouraging agencies to run amok with regulations (EPA,FDA etc.).
But as a business owner of 10 years, I'd say it's government at all levels that has been guilty of stifiling business creation.
The local govs are inhabited by some of the most small minded dolts you'll ever run into.
Very true. Can't argue with that at all. However, my business hub is in Northern Virginia, the most business-friendly state in the union by many accounts. I've not ran into terribly burdensome requirements on the local level. Most of my constraints are federally driven.

For your sake, I hope nobody thinks of, enacts and improves on your business plan while you're sitting on the sidelines.

Nothing is ever 100% certain in business. Where did you pull from my statements that I expected 100% certainty? You didn't, you just decided to throw in trivial remarks that are better suited for those with no business experience.
I am not risk averse. But i'm also not stupid, either.
