Basically since first two years Obama has done nothing in law that is permanent. looking at military he has stayed cutting our forces which isn't a good thing considering the new challenges its created. His ACA isn't accept as law and his stimulus wasn't a success because of how he; who was fully in charge: spent it. The massive infrastructure improvements did not come about. Personally I am more worried about the military capability we have loss and years it will take to recover during a dangerous time.

The occupant of the White House has a lot to do with how well you live, unless you happen to be independently wealthy.

Example: When Obama was elected, before he even took office my business and that of many others in construction, took a nose dive. People were afraid to do anything, so uncertain were they about his promise to "fundamentally transform the United States of America."

Small businesses began preparing for the worst, laying off people and downsizing; a documented fact, from real life stories as told to those in the talk radio business, bloggers and others. My personal experience, and that of a friend of mine in landscaping, was that our businesses just pretty much came to a stand still. I had always been busy, and so had he. I always had another job to go to when I finished one. Suddenly, I found myself hoping for a job to come along. The phone wasn't ringing anymore.

Now you can say that I'm making this up, if you want to. I expect that's what you'll do, or you'll have some other excuse.

But Obama had said enough. He had given clues. To the SEIU, he said, (paraphrased) "While I would rather have a Single Payer System, we can't get there overnight," talking about his plans for the heath care system known as the ACA. People knew what was coming, and new the Republicans didn't have the votes to stop it. The Congress was Democrat majority in both houses.

I remember going to see my landscaper friend the following spring to measure for tile for his master bath. I had done his other bathroom the year before. We were chatting, just small talk. Then he said, "Bill, there is no business!" I said, "I know Bob." And the conversation turned to what had been happening in the economy under Obama.

Now those are facts, jack!
That's your life. That ain't my life.

My fortunes don't rise or fall based on the occupant of the White House. Never has, never will.

For the second time, what does BRO have anything to do with being black ....UNLESS you are racist?
Show me my racism first.

And "bro" is short for brother. You're not my brother in any way. I would never refer to you as a "bro." Why you consider that statement to be racist is beyond me.

I agree you two are failures at running a business. Especially given a record DJ, millions of new jobs, and record earnings amongst the Fortune 500.

You two failed. Take personal responsibility for your personal failures.

These guys need to be responsible for themselves but its ok for millions to leech off the tax payers for their entire lives? makes sense.

Robertfchew, The point is any business failing now, when the big corps are doing great, fail because their owners are clueless on how to manage a business.
