That’s right you kenyan loser. Vilify private business. Make it look like they’re the ones at fault because “they have all that money, why don’t they share it”? The kenyan really believes this too. Never having a job, never running a company, never having any responsibility he has no idea.

Yes sir, I’m here to claim my job, by order of the President. How much will I be making? A living wage?

He is NOT naïve, clueless, delusional or stupid. He is a carefully placed, highly trained communist who is doing EXACTLY what he set out to do. After 2.5 years it is disturbing that we still do not admit to this simple truth.

.....They aren’t going to hire an extra person to sit at a desk and play solitaire....

It works in the world of government jobs. I guess Obama will step up and just keep hiring more government workers. It worked so well for Castro, that 50 years in.....

Cuba to cut one million public sector jobs "Cuba has announced radical plans to lay off huge numbers of state employees, to help revive the communist country's struggling economy."

Exactly....in fact companies have determined they don't need to hire, having doubled the work load on employees which remained after streamlining their workforce.

In several companies many managerial responsibilities are now delegated to the employees...after cutting out much of the middle management positions last year. They have no intention of replacing those positions. Furthermore they have a full-time employee who works 24/7 running thru a constant load of applications and interviews, training.....turning over part-time workers is the norm now.

Departments now can and do employee one full-time worker in each dept....all others are part-time. Thus avoiding benefit pkg's. These part-time workers can be scheduled up to 32 hours weekly and still title them as part-time.

I would not call him smart. The big difference between a communist and a socialist is that the communist knows what he's doing. This idiot in our White House is clueless and has to read everything he says off teleprompters.

That, in and of itself, tells me that this goofuss is a product of affirmative action, and has had his hands held and work done for him since he was a kid.

Smart? Doubt it.

He moves from blank to smug to angry. Not leadership material.

In some cases, I think businesses DO need to hire more workers but they are afraid to hire while this socialist is running (ruining) the economy. They’d rather take their chances with less folks on the payroll than hire only to have to layoff workers after the next suicidal policy comes out of Washington.

Exactly. Examined in that context, all of his actions make perfect, logical sense.

Slight edit to previous post, adjusted to add the key word...

Obie is the angry product of an evil, twisted upbringing. His anger further inflamed by spending 20 more years worshiping at the feet of another evil, twisted individual. Those who realized this years ago are not surprised at what his “presidency” is becoming

Blaming its victims for what it intentionally and abusively does to them is the Left's second favorite tactic, the first being Ridicule.

In this instance, American businesses are faced with high tax rates, regulatory uncertainty, mandatory health care expense increases, growing foreign competition, and weak domestic markets - all proximately due to the policies of the Obama Administration.

But somehow, given the present environment, it is the companies' fault they are not hiring. They are accused of "hoarding" cash, as though top-hatted Monopoly Men were greedily perched atop vast mounds of hundred dollar bills rather than "sharing the wealth"; such an image is fundamentally the Progressive view of Business.

The truth, of course, is that it makes no sense to invest, expand or even plan beyond a certain time horizon when risks are great and returns uncertain. Try explaining that to a Liberal sometime. They'll look at you with the same quizzical and slightly annoyed expression that you'd get from a Bassett hound to whom you might attempt to explain why it's not good for him to eat so many treats.

This (Obama) is a joke, right?

Businesses should hire more employees to service customers they DON'T HAVE?

It's like him telling consumers to "spend more". Spend more money they DON'T HAVE to buy things they can't afford because of inflation and gasoline prices?

What planet is this mork on, anyhow!

BTW, I gassed up my big, ole beater yesterday (which gets good mileage, surprisingly).

Only 72 bucks to fill 'er up.

The gas stations around here are lonesome places right now. Maybe they should hire MORE employees for the little customers who AREN'T THERE!.

THE LITTLE MAN.....ER, CUSTOMER.....WHO WASN'T THERE

As I was going up my business stair
I met a customer who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd come to stay

This afternoon at close to three
A customer was waiting there for me
But when I gave a friendly call
He really wasn't there at all

Obama's anti-capitalistic socialism in a nutshell.

I did not call him smart -- nor did I allude to such a thing as that is the last thing I would believe about him.

Just because he is not smart, does not mean he should be underestimated. A very powerful cabal are controlling everything he says and does, but it is not without his tacit approval.

Call him naïve, clueless, delusional and stupid at your own peril.

Obama is simply doing what he said he was going to do and I don’t see that is going to change much if at all. Just a matter of crashing thru the consititution, the republican offensives and or going around them. There is really nothing to stop his agenda..at most slow it down perhaps, but that will be temporary. He will simply go at it from another direction. It matters not what Americans think.
