Or one could say that as soon as he was elected, businesses felt a bit more optimistic, so they stopped laying off as fast as they were under President Bush.
And I think that’s what happened, and in typical recessions, there would be a turnaround and things would improve. But President Obama threw a monkey wrench in, and so the upturn has been sabotaged.
Still, don’t be too sure we’re not seeing a real improvement. I think there’s some improvement, despite his best efforts. Don’t think that means things are getting much better, though! I’m sure there will be many more layoffs where I am employed, for example.
The will of the people is strong. The people will survive despite the shackles of a corrupt regime.
Whether they prosper or not is entirely up to the big O. If he just goes off and golfs for the rest of his presidency, then business will eventually recover.
