A Wish To Live Forever
I met a fairy today that said she would grant me one wish.
"I want to live forever," I said.
"Sorry," said the fairy,"I'm not allowed to grant wishes like that!"
"Fine," I said,"then I want to die after Congress get their heads out.
Of their asses!"
"You crafty bastard," said the fairy.

What the Republicans will do to Cover Up There Failures.
Now this is scary. Obama is referring to the federal government as the 'federal family'. Hello, Big Brother.
When is Obama going to realize that the government is not the answer to our problems, government is the problem.
The private sector is the source of every job in the country. The government pays it bills and employees from money taken / extorted from the private sector. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that burdening the private sector with unnecessary regulations, burdonsome taxes and harrassment is going to result in a nonfunctioning economy - which it appears we now have.

However, come November 2012 (so long as our ruler allows us to have an election) he will get a pretty strong indication that a plurality of his subjects don't think govt is the answer. Shortly after that, the new president, with majorities in both houses, will repeal Obamacare (one of his / her campaign promises).
As some wizened wanderer opined some 25-26 months ago (within this very thread) Obama had already turned off the constituents (that is everyone who voted for 'Hope and Change" and not because he is black. This group excludes the hard left) that were fundamental in his election and would not vote for Jimmy Carter, I mean Obama for a second term. Further, it was pointed out the many democrats would call for Hillary to challenge BHO in the primary. If she thought she could win the general election (she knows she could win a primary against BHO) she'd run. It was pointed even earlier, that giving Hillary State was a move to box her out of a potential primary challenge. Hillary has done him one better by being virtually invisible, except on a few notable occasions (all of which were offshore) and by keeping herself at such a distance none of BHO's disastrous policies and opinions can be directly linked to her (we know she's not to far from him ideologically, but she doesn't want voters thinking that).

To convince people of the LIE, you must support it with more lies. If you keep telling the same lies over and over, some people (even some smart people) will begin to believe it. The American people have been duped more than once into trying liberalism / socialism-lite and the like but you can't fool all the people all the time. Even people who supported BHO can't argue with the facts. Liberal ideologues can't even come up with twisted arguments to support him so they say his failures are from not going far enough to the left.
If elections are held as scheduled, BHO is likely to loose in a landslide of Carter-like proportions. The Senate will likely be under Republican control and the Republican majority in the house will widen. If the Republicans, led by the new president, don't immediately repeal Obamacare, eliminate base line indexing, eliminate most if not all czars, the DOE, Commerce and start to cut the size of government (cutting the rate of growth is not the same thing) they will prove that they too are unworthy.
When did this happen?
NOT UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA!

We can't even buy toilets in the US that work properly since the tree hugger types like you regulated all other types of toilets out of existence during the clinton years. Got to flush the ones in my house at least twice to get the job done! LOL! Democrats LOVE regulations on small business. It's regulations on home mortgages that they dislike as it stands in the way of the poor little guys getting to own a house they can't afford. Suggest YOU pay attention to history dude! The facts of the matter are totally NOT on your side. Better to let liberal sleeping dogs lie. Happy Mongering All. Toymann
You got to just love this one.
Gibson (the folks who make some of the greatest guitars) have been raided twice by the DOJ, once in 2009 and again this year. No, not for working illegal's but because they are importing wood from India for finger boards on the guitar necks and American workers are doing the work. DOJ has raided them twice because they suspect Gibson is violating – now get this – an INDIAN LAW prohibiting wood products not finished by INDIAN WORKERS from export. Gibson is not accused of violation of any US statute but suspected of a possible violation of a law enacted in India. Now the US Government is worried about enforcing the laws of foreign countries and denying work to American workers! Gibson is not taking this lying down and is raising hell about it.

I am really looking forward to January 2013 when we can finally rid ourselves of the miserable failure impersonating the US President. Unfortunately, the three best candidates aren't in the race: Marco Rubio, Chris Christie and Paul Ryan (in that order) but a pet rock would be better than Obama.
Does anyone believe that this guy's speech on Thursday brings with it any chance of improving things? The best that can come out of it is that Obama will outline the path to failure. Whatever he suggests, run the other way. Please, no more ideas from this administration.

All you guys seem to do is ***** and moan, but consistently fail to explain how Obama is hampering your own businesses.
Awhile back there was a credible argument on the 1099 Form requirement, but that has since been repealed. Obama also ensured there would not be another debt ceiling squabble until 2013, which every business owner should be thankful for.
The central right wing talking points are that taxes and regulation are the problem. That's hard to see from the record profits that big businesses are enjoying. What about small business? According to the article below, these talking points are largely bs for small businesses as well. Yet again, the right wing proves they have little to offer except hot air and empty rhetoric.
Regulations, taxes aren't killing small business, owners say.

[QUOTE]McClatchy reached out to owners of small businesses, many of them mom-and-pop operations, to find out whether they indeed were being choked by regulation, whether uncertainty over taxes affected their hiring plans and whether the health care overhaul was helping or hurting their business.
Their response was surprising.
None of the business owners complained about regulation in their particular industries, and most seemed to welcome it. Some pointed to the lack of regulation in mortgage lending as a principal cause of the financial crisis that brought about the Great Recession of 2007-09 and its grim aftermath.[/QUOTE][QUOTE]The answer from Rick Douglas — the owner of Minit Maids, a cleaning service with 17 employees in Charlotte, N. C. — was more blunt.
"I think the rich have to be taxed, sorry," Douglas said. He added that he isn't facing a sea of new regulations but that he does struggle with an old issue, workers' compensation claims.
Douglas told The Charlotte Observer that he's hired more workers this year, citing pent-up demand from customers.[/QUOTE][QUOTE]Then there's Rip Daniels. He owns four businesses in Gulfport, Miss. : real estate ventures, a radio station and a boutique hotel / bistro. He said his problem wasn't regulation.
"Absolutely, positively not. What is choking my business is insurance. What's choking all business is insurance. You cannot go into business, any business — small business or large business — unless you can afford insurance," he told Biloxi's Sun Herald.[/QUOTE][QUOTE]Lynn Swager, a co-owner of Brass on Ivory in Edgewater, Md, sells, rents and repairs musical instruments. She faces a completely different sort of challenge.
"The thing that chokes us, believe or not, is the Internet. There are so many things that are accessible on the Internet that they can purchase for less than I can purchase from my distributor," Swager told McClatchy."Everybody thinks the Internet is this great thing that is happening to the world, but it is really, I think, killing a lot of small business. People that we talk to that are no longer in business say the same thing exactly."[/QUOTE]

In part because of the recession and now a Republican House of Representatives, he hasn't implemented much so far. It's items on the horizon so far that are of most concern. Higher health care costs and higher taxes in 2013, potential rolling blackouts in certain areas in 2014, and crises that will arise at some point because of the debts government is incurring, for example. The only effect on my business has been the debasement of the currency, and Bernanke & Co. are as much to blame as the Administration. Previous Congresses and the Bush Administration played a part in that too. I know certain industries and companies have been hit hard though -- anyone who's providing oil services in the Gulf of Mexico for example.
