If the President followed Mr. Moneybags' model (look at me, I'm a billionaire and I donate to charity) of business, then I suppose he'd have to hire his staff from China or India.

Are there really any of you who think this man who wrote the article is suffering? Our country is, because of greedy, self-indulgent business owners like himself. If he cared so much about this country, then he'd open factories here and put people to work. Much greater profit for him to to do it in China, though.

This big-business assault on the President is simply their attempt to divert attention from their own practices. Unfortunately, a lot of people are buying their sob-story.

I think what needs to be said is that government should not be in the business of creating jobs. You'd want that from the private sector, where entreprenuers are always hatching new ideas.
Government jobs even has a dull sound, like institution green walls, like...like....SCHOOLS, where I slaved away for many years, haha. We need private business, we need profits, and we need prosperity.

Looks like I will be shopping at Lowes. It's closer to me anyway. Just as he thinks the president doesn't know jack about running a business, he doesn't know jack about running the country.
