While I'm not a total supporter for President Obama, you have to give credit where credit is due. Also apply blame where it belongs - we have the most incapable and inept Congress in a century. That's where legislation gets passed (or not). The President leads and signs passed legislation - he can't drag a dead mule (Congress) to the water and make it drink.

Eliminate all lobbying - especially that by pharmaceutical, insurance and financial companies and let Congress do the work they were sent to Washington to do. Oh, and charge everyone (especially the richest) an equal tax burden so that you and I (likely middle-class) don't pay more than our share of the burden.
Denver,

I would like to know...

Which exact "wars" are you referring to?
The economy is at it's best in 10 years? Which country are you referring to? Surely not the USA.

I am a small business owner who started my business without asking anyone for anything. I took a risk because I have guts!!! This administration "Obama" has put my customers in a "Coma", they ALL tell me they will hold on to their CASH until he is GONE. So.... my business suffers .....daily until ? I could go on welfare,food stamps, un-employment but I just can not........YET.

I don't know business you are in, but the President's office has nothing to do with your business. The banks who control credit and lending and individual's personal finances do. It also depends on your industry, your market and your market share in that industry. If you are in a business driven by discretionary or disposable income versus required consumable goods your experience will be different. This year we picked up numerous municipalities and agencies while doubling our walk-in customer base. We just finished our annual inventory and ran our final financials yesterday. Our business is up 31% this year. That is consistent with the last 3 years. We've been open now 9 years. It takes a few years for the 20-25% of new businesses to start to thrive. If they ever do. Nothing to do with anything above a local level. The only place we've ever struggled is on line. That's gravy anyway.

Yours. Do you not pay attention to jobs reports, unemployment reports, stock reports? My business was up 31% in 2011. You can't believe anything you see on Fox.

Dude. How many unneccessary foreign invasions do you need? One is too many. Getting Iraq behind us will stimulate not only our economy but (hopefully) other country's as well.

[QUOTE=John99Boxster;273100] We invaded Iraq. And you obviously have never been involved in any conflict more severe than whether or not to have fries with your burger. As one who spent more than 20 years actually wearing a uniform, war is never good for anyone. Since you are completely ignorant on the effects of war, I won't discuss this anymore on this forum. No one who has actually seen war (I don't mean Band Of Brothers) speaks of it as cavalier as you.

John/Millie - if you actually read things you'ld know I was in the military. And my bio would read born in Denver, and while Steve may be too decent to say it, NO one at Langley says they worked at Langley, it's the first rule of Langley. You're a broken poser. If you want people to respond to your $h!t for mouth, keep your posts on one thread. What was your MOS? As I stated before, I doubt you saw any combat, even if you were stationed somewhere other's did. Did your DD-214 read "cowardly discharge"? For someone who says they did something, me thinks you protest too much. As I stated before, no one who speaks of war as cavalierly as you, ever heard bullets whizzing past their head. Poser.
