He just politely said he didnt' really want the entourage in his place of business and didn't want pictures of himself with Biden.

Where did it say he is a registered Republican?

That man is an unpatriotic a-hole and therefore obviously a Republican. Republicans have come unglued at the prospect of having to call Barack Obama Mr President for another 4 years. Also not a shocker that this happened in Virginia.

He would be sitting on his couch stuffing his face crackers if others (family, friends, customers, service providers, etc) didn't help him. One person does not build a business alone. It requires others.

Talk about karma . . . that wheel turns around for everyone . . . Obama may be able to send out the wefare checks, but he can't protect these hate-filled people from the universe.

Yesterday Dems were commenting that the guy from this thread should have refused Obama's campaign business:
https://www.city-data.com/forum/elections/1666113-caterer-obamas-iowa-campaign-event-has.html

Today people are whining because the bakery owner did just that. Make up your minds. Oh wait, I know, all the "little people" are supposed to just be gleeful that Obama and Biden are willing to be their presence right?
Asd a business owner, I totally understand why these owners are refusing service and wearing message shirts.

People have a right to express their opinion. This is not the Soviet Union. He was respectful enough to say, I don't want your event here because I disagree with you, but thanks for asking.

And lol at the goofballs jumping on the anonymous comments as facts while saying the part about the Secret Service, which was in the actual broadcast, is false. If you have to grasp that hard, you probably shouldn't comment.

(Psst- enemy country- Biden is white, so dial back the race card posts in this thread.)

You guys are so distorted, lol.

He didn't get a gubment loan. He says his wife had just put in 24 hours working there. His family helps him out. What the HELL are you talking about? His FAMILY ain't the GUBMENT, and Obama was referring to the GUBMENT GIVING PEOPLE A HAND UP TO START AND RUN A BUSINESS.
I thought that he did it on his own? No?

This man received help from his family...therefore he isn't building it on his own. The conservative brains have turned to mush from watching too much FAUX News.

At any rate that guy will be begging for business this time next year when the conservative ticker tape parade moves on to its new Joe the Plumber type of local yokel nutjob.

It wasnt even close to correct because roads and bridges dont get built without a demand for them, tax revenues to pay for them, and property provided by the private sector

I read the transcript of that speech plus watched clips.

I know exactly what the hell he meant. If you choose to believe the BS, that is your business.

I knew what he meant. THousands of others knew what he meant.

And further, even if he DID mean that BS about roads and bridges and infrastructure, MY TAX DOLLARS PAID FOR THOSE THINGS, so please do not tell me how the gubment made those happen, either. TAX DOLLARS MADE THOSE THINGS HAPPEN - and the small businessman employs a chunk of folks in this country and pays a chunk of taxes, so PUHLEEEEZZZZZ . . . either way, what he said WAS AN INSULT.

I guess if his family is Uncle Sam then you have a point.

Obama was referring to GETTING A HAND OUT, LOAN from the government. He was not referring to FAMILY MEMBERS.

But hey - believe what you want to believe. It is obvious you are not a small business owner.
