Forbes Magazine article... GREAT READ!

They don't pull any punches and hit the nail on the head. They place the blame right at the feet of dear leader.


Quote:
Barack Obama is the most anti-business president in a generation, perhaps in American history. Thanks to him the era of big government is back. Obama runs up taxpayer debt not in the billions but in the trillions. He has expanded the U.S. government's control over home mortgages, investment banking, health care, autos and energy. The Weekly Standard summarizes Obama's approach as omnipotence at home, impotence abroad

It does seem they have penetrated many areas of business, education and finance.
They get to pick and choose the winners and losers with the winners being who cozies up to them.

The reality is that America’s supposedly anti-business president has led an extremely pro-business recovery. The corporate community has recovered first, and best.

The rhetoric reflects a political calculation and a shift in the political culture. The calculation is that the best way to attack Obama is as a socialist (as ridiculous as this claim is). The shift in the culture is that since Reagan, anything short of complete deregulation is derided as anti-business. With the most pro-business Supreme Court in history, this trend is only accelerating. One can be pro-business without being pro-laissez faire. Modern day critics of Obama as anti-business would have us return to the days of Herbert Hoover and J.P. Morgan. Not good days for the rest of the country.

Who the F$*! cares what the greedy, conniving, amoral scumbags who control "Big Business" and Wall Street think of Obama's economic policies.

It is these pond-scum that have turned this once prosperous, First World nation into a spiraling economic catastrophe in the making!

They will really be out in full force now due to Obama's appointment of Elizabeth Warren.

So get rid of all business..let "the state" run the show like they've done in Cuba.

Once you get rid of these greedy businesses what do you have left ?

What is so special about her that someone else in the same position couldn't do? Why are you worshipping her as some sort of demagogue?

I would much rather turn us to the days of Herbert Hoover than the days of fdr!!! Rememeber that while the media has claimed fdr as a great president, he set in moton the very problems we have today. And if you learn real history by looking up the facts, in government records of actions taken by both fdr and Hoover, you would realize that Hoover had this nation on the track to come of of the recession from the stock market crash. But fdr, with help from the progressive commie loving media made us go into the depression, first by stealing everything from people when he closed the banks, (and don't even say it didn't happen, because I know for a fact that peoples businesses and property was stolen from them, deeds , titles, etc), then by law forcing everyone to pay income taxes that previously was an option. Then he stole gold and silver from people, turned us completely over to the criminal mob misnamed the federal reserve, and then made it illegal for people to own gold. Next he had the "great scrap metal caper" giving all of it to hitler and japan.
Now we have the nutcase left trying to day obama is pro-business and pro America? I will give 'em the obama is pro business IF YOUR business gave to him and the dumwits of the democratic party in elections. It is unConstitutional and clear violation of federal law to play politics with taxpayer money like obama has and clinton did. Remember the businesses he gave the 1.2+ TRILLOIN bucks to? They all gave to the democratic party.
Too bad the idiot stinking up the whitehouse doesn't give a d@** about you or me or any other working American. Only idiots and fools could continue supporting this clown in office.

On your line about obama and being a socialist, you might be right, he isn't just a socailist fool, but a complete marxist using socialism as way to get to a dictatorship like he so wants like chavez down south. Now if obama's actions taking over gm and chrysler wasn't the same as chavez's taking over oil then what the hell was it? It wasn't American, it wasn't Constitutional, and it sure wasn't legal !!!
