You may recognize the name of the author as a Libertarian VP candidate but he's hit the nail on the head in this article.
Obama loves to talk about "the recovery" but his policies are the #1 reason it's not happening.
I think Barry’s answer to the small business man is “I don’t care”.
This guy simply doesn't get it. It's government that creates jobs. Just ask Obama!
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Both.

Exactly right. "Recovery" is not his goal.
I found this from Newmax thought you might like to take a look..
“He comes up with ways to rob and destroy me and my businesses on a daily basis. It’s time to get the message. Without a doubt, Obama and the progressive left are the enemy of small business.”

“Or is he just the most inexperienced, incompetent man to ever occupy the White House?” Got it.
“I spent about $50 million on things like advertising,... And that’s just one small business.”
Pretty big small business....
Stating the painfully obvious:
The number of people who voted Obama into power was larger than the number of those who voted for McCain (or those who voted against Obama rather than “for” McCain).
Based on the fact that there are 30 million small businesses, a significant portion of those who voted Obama into power must have been employees of small business owners (and/or their family/friends).
To a large extent, I believe this very same block of voters will play a significant role in determining whether Obama is re-elected to a second term, thereby rewarding him and his ilk for his anti-business policies.
Somehow, the candidate who opposes Obama in 2012 must get the message out to this group of voters:
1. If you are unemployed, vote against Obama.
2. If you are fortunate enough to have a job with a small business, and you want to avoid joining the ranks of the unemployed, vote against Obama.
3. If you are a family member or friend of those in the above two groups, and you want your loved one to have a job or keep a job, vote against Obama in 2012.
I realize that conventional political “wisdom” would say that a candidate must offer voters reasons to vote FOR him/her.
However, in this economic climate the winning message could be to convince voters who mindlessly voted Obama into power of one thing: the country is worse off now than it was before Obama... ergo, to vote FOR one thing: FOR a a regime change unless you would like more of the same for another four years.
I feel more demonized and punished by the big banks - which damaged the entire system of business credit to bail out their own speculative ventures in 2008 - than I do by Obama.
I feel more demonized and punished by Republicans - who are supposed to be the path of business but seem more interested in promoting "me-too" social welfare schemes - than I do by Obama.
I feel more demonized and punished by some local MSM addicted citizens - who wonder why I am "so rich" while they don't have easy corporate jobs any more - than I do by Obama.
Ultimately, Obama is just a symptom of a miseducated society. Attacking the symptom doesn't address the underlying problem.
