Nobama, No way, no how.
He will take Crony Capitalism to a whole new level. Solyndra times a million.
I guess we can also expect him to enact the “Fair Share Law”.
Atlas Shrugged...
Exactly. He wants central, total control.
So will he close the Commerce Department?
Fascist!
That would be the equivalent of “Secretary of Judaism” in a Hitler administration.
That’s not a “Fascism Alert” as much as a “Chronically Clueless Alert”. The good news is, we can stand down on such foolishness before much longer.
Sig !
I nominate Wesley Mouch for the position.
To better continue the Obama campaign to destroy FREE enterprise businesses of cause the Regime needs a Secretary and department or Ministry of Business... a la Ministry of Truth and the Ministry of Plenty.
What we really need is a Secretary of “Stay the Eff out of the Way.”
Ronald Reagan said it best (paraphrased), “Government isn’t the solution, Government is the problem.”
The only place where there should be more daylight is this administration’s reach and the private American citizen.
Idiotic comment by 0baMao...Nobody "gives" loans to SBA.
In reality, SBA secures loans for businesses.

Hey there’s an idea. No one’s ever thought of that before. A single department for dealing with business. But we should call it the Dept. or Commerce or something.
Duh, we already have a “Secretary of Business,” and he is called The President of the United States of America.
However, Obama might just have stumbled onto the truth here, as for the last almost 4 years our Nation has not had a President of the United States of America.
Thus, “Empty-Chair” Obama may have been calling to be replaced by expert businessman Romney.
BTW, any FReepers out there who would post a reference to President Calvin Coolidge who famously said: “The business of America is business.” ? Thanks.
Would the Secretary of Business help the Department of Bureaus and Agencies communicate with the Bureau of Agencies and Departments and the Agency of Departments and Bureaus? If so, the Department of Redundancy Department could become obsolete.
What world does Obama live in?!? He actually sees this as a political fight and not a fight over the future of the country. The “war” Obama hopes for, if he wins and pushes his power grab, will be much bigger than within the Republican party.
2014 will make 2010 seem like a high school student council election.
a Conservative policy would GET RID OF all the agencies and progerams handing out taxpayers money to politically favored businesses
what small businesses need is less regulation not more taxpayer cash
what small busineses need is regulations that must exist to not be written so as to favor larger companies
what small businesses need is a regulatory even playing field across all types of businesses in their business sector, not special programs for them
what small businesses need is local banks that lend to build companies and employment as much as they lend to build houses, because without jobs there are not incomes to pay for the home mortgages (take care of building jobs and you don’t need to do special things for housing - it will follow higher employment levels without any “stimulus”)
we already have an executive branch Trade Representative for negotiating trade agreements - that is the begining and end of any proper government executive branch role in promoting “exports”; all other “export” programs represent taxpayer funding bought by special business interests that can’t compete, in exports, without taxpayer subsidies/loans/incentives, indicating they are not economically “most efficient” in the global marketplace to begin with - if capitalists won’t help them directly why should the taxpayers
Obama’s proposal is more smoke and mirrors from the Marxist Wizard of Oz in the White House
total fascism
One more sign that this Joker's cabinet members are just a bunch of figure-heads, and he's running government under the table through his aptly-named Tsars
