Obama in Rude Denial (CEOs: He's Clueless!!!)
American Spectator ^ | 3/29/10 | The Prowler

"Most of these people [in the Administration] have never had a real job in their lives. They don't understand a thing about business, and that includes the President," says a senior lobbyist for one of the companies that announced the charge. "My CEO sat with the President over lunch with two other CEOs, and each of them tried to explain to the President what this bill would do to our companies and the economy in general. First the President didn't understand what they were talking about. Then he basically told my boss he was lying. Frankly my boss was embarrassed for him; he clearly had not been briefed and didn't know what was in the bill."

Well...my friends I received my hope and change Saturday. My son and daughter-in-law just lost both their jobs as the State North Carolina is deleting their jobs in the mental health field.
They were told by the State that they had until June and their jobs were no longer be funded because NC is laying the groundwork for Jackass Care and their field was not included in the funding.
Excuse me if I'm a tad bid angry at that Jug eared SOB who is presently on another joyride on Air-force One. The scary part of this is, NC em pitied all their mental health facilities and dumped these people to the streets and this is what my son and daughter in law did was basicaly baby sit these people making sure they picked up their meds, made it to their appointments and this was a 24 hour on call job.
And now who will keep an eye on these mental health patients??.... Absolutely no one, they are going to be left to their own devices.
For you Obama supporters. You can take your hope and change and shove it up where the sun doesn't shine.

The only place that Obama is welcome in my home is his face on a roll of toilet paper.

I am a small business owner myself and have said from day one that maobama is perhaps the most economically ignorant president of our lifetime. It embarassing how illiterate and ignorant he is on these issues.

All this moron needs to read is Economics in One lesson by Hazzlett to get a clue but it is obvious his time has been spent reading mao marx and engles.

This is really bad guys. I’m not kidding. I refuse to hire anyone until and unless cap and trade card check and all these other schemes are stopped.

Isn’t it amazing that us racists and fring elements knew what obama was all about well before the election and these allegedly brilliant CEOs are only realizing this now?

Morons!

How do you explain capitalism to a Marxist?

You don't. A Marxist isn't interested. Might as well bang your head against the wall than to waste your breath.

Cloward and piven along with a healthy dose of rules for radicals is the only rational way to explain what maobama is doing.

We're doomed. Obama confirms once again that he is a complete boob and he's got his hands on the controls.

Ike knew. It was the private sector that built him the tools to win a war.

“Microsoft used to brag about not having any lobbyists. Then during the Clinton administration they were brought up on anti-trust charges. They have lobbyists and give generously to BOTH parties now. They learned their lesson”

Yes they have. They are moving their companies to China, India, and East Asia in general where they are perfectly welcome and Bill is lauded.

To all

Libs in general and even some Republicans have what I call a “comic book” understanding of economics. Meaning they think people and organizations with money keep it in some room in the basement or a special vault a bank doesn't let the “working man” know about. There the “rich” or “the bosses” go a cavort on the money, roll around in it, you've seen the comic where Scrooge McDuck or Richie Rich go and count their coins.

Obama doesn't know, doesn't care & is “untrainable” how wealth is created, it just “happens” and therefore has to be done by unfair means. In his mind he is so brilliant, so special that it can't be any other way.

Just because you pay off the mafia, doesn't mean you like the mafia

Government today is nothing more than a protection racket.

On Friday White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett were calling the CEOs and Washington office heads of the companies that took the financial hits and attacked them for doing so. One Washington office head said that the White House calls were accusatory and "downright rude."

The companies are taking the charges because in 2013 they will lose a tax deduction on tax-free government subsidies they have had when they give retirees a Medicare Part D prescription-drug reimbursement. Many of these companies have more than 100,000 retirees each. AT&T may have more than three-quarters of a million retirees to cover.

Looks like some CEOs need to come out of the shadows and seek the light of the Tea Party.

Yes, definitely.

William Ayers got his man/child and made sure he got the office of POTUS and now their revolutionary anti-establishment efforts are going at full speed.

I found this interesting document yesterday: the PDF version of Barack Obama associates “Billy” Ayers’ and Bernardine Dohrn’s 1974 communist declaration of war against the United States.

Bush actually had a few jobs and ran a couple of things before he was president. BO never did one darn thing.
