Let's try to move beyond the Rush, Beck, Hannity talking points and try to think for ourselves

I don't see any policies in there, just a bunch of return fire rhetoric. You wanna try again?

As horrible as Baby Bush was, the Obamination is worse. I saw an INSTANT slowdown, immediately following the election. So did every businessperson I know. In a lot of areas, things instantly went from bad to hopeless after the election. Anybody with any sense knew that Obama was put into office to finish the job Baby Bush had begun (the job of dismantling America and replacing the American People).

I will add that things went from great to stagnant, within months of Baby Bush's election. It really does matter who is in the White House. It's a matter of Spontaneous Mass Consensus. And if we don't get somebody good in office, this time, it's all over. I moved my businesses overseas toward the end of the Barbara Bush's Brat's reign. And we've made a lot of money on this side of the Pacific, positioning ourselves to profit from the Depression we knew would be coming, following Obama's election. But I feel for the vast majority of Americans, who are facing a bleak future, due to eleven years under Presidents who are worse than incompetent.

I'm rooting for Ron Paul. But we're investing with the assumption that the worst of all possible candidates will (again) be chosen.

My, my...are conservatives blaming someone else for their own failings?! Nooooo, it couldn't be! I seem to remember being slammed when I suggested that outside influences could make someone fail or succeed.

The party of personal responsibility blames Obama for all of their own failings. How hypocritical!

And you think Obama in all his omnipotence was able to tank your business in Fall of 2008? Come on. And Bush got the shaft too, that is the way is goes with a bubble-driven economy. But according to your magical thinking if McCain had been elected, houses in Sacramento and Talahassee would be going for $1M by now, the market would be at 18k and it would all be gravy right?

Spontaneous Mass Consensus? As for National Enquirer phenomena, I liked Spontaneous Human Combustion better.

GREAT answer!

Now, start naming policies! At least one!

Don't hold your breath.

Or, you'll get the standard answer that they all have now: Obamacare.

5,000 pages of Obamacare and Dodd-Frank along with them picking and choosing winners and losers. Those things have many business people frozen and preparing for the unknown.

So your goal is to try to make him a "one term president" by shooting your own self/business in the ass?

Heaven forbid if the economy should improve in the next year, huh?

Typical conservative mentality. Cry and obstruct and snivel to get their own way. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Refuse to give someone a job because that might mean President Obama gets re-elected.

Disgusting.
