Even the Democrats are waking up. This administration knows nothing about business.

99.9% of our political leaders have no clue about running a business.
They are LAWYERS! Bloodsucking, power hungry lawyers running this nation into the ground.

Wayne Allyn Root's Blog (http://rootforamerica.com/blog/ - broken link)

If You Need Legal Advice, You Need a Good Lawyer. If You Want to Run an Economy and Create Jobs...Run Away from the Lawyers.

By Wayne Allyn Root, 2008 Libertarian Vice Presidential Nominee

You know what they say about lawyers…their greatest talent is their ability to quote their fees without smiling. Well after watching Obama’s State of the Union speech last week, you can add a new talent to the list: Obama should win an Academy Award for the role of a lawyer lying about the true “state of the union.”

Obama said that his stimulus added 2 million jobs. Really? Where? In some alternate universe? Certainly not in America. We’ve actually lost several million jobs since Obama passed his stimulus plan. There is no hard evidence that any private sector jobs were created. Just another lawyer lie.

It is amusing that some of the rank and file democrats are seeing the writing on the wall. Mr. Obama can't even manage to convince his own party that his policies are worthwhile.

It's obvious that Mr. Obama knows nothing about business,...he's never had any responsibility in that arena. Community organizers and politicians don't have to make a lot of payrolls. Additionally, Mr. Obama has surrounded himself with people who don't like the business community and wouldn't know how to stimulate an amoeba.

The really sad part is.. People actually thought Obama knew something about business to begin with. They all assumed because Buffet endorsed him, that this meant Buffet would be advising him through his term.

Little did anyone realise Buffet endorsed him because it profited Buffet.. dah!!!

If you want to do tax credits, I wouldn't do it like this.

How about tax credits for manufacturing in the U.S.?
We give tax credits to U.S. based manufacturing businesses that hire American workers to build solar panels, wind turbines, etc.

Currently most of our solar panels are coming from China (like so many other things).

Even Buffett has backed off some of Mr. Obama's economic policies. Obviously Buffett is discovering that Mr. Obama is flying by the seat of his pants business wise.

Afford tax breaks to start-up business certainly makes more business sense than the tax credit for hiring employees. You and I agree there.

Obama could not run a popcorn stand without going bankrupt.

How can a man who was a personal financial disaster himself run a country?

The dems are trying to run from Obama as fast as they can.

They see the writing on the wall.

He shows up in 3 key states and cost them all 3 easy dems seats.

They see what he is doing and want no part of him.
