As a business owner, it absolutely astounds me that people had to hear Obama say these words to understand what he really stands for. The actions of this administration, from starving the country of energy production, to attempting to control banking through legislation, to tax and regulatory assaults on business, all have given me enough evidence to conclude he has always abhorred capitalism.
For that matter, it’s not just him, the whole Democratic party has harbored a grudge against the successful, going back to the Clinton administration.
I have felt like the declared enemy of the state for twenty years.
I think his Roanoke speech is indeed a turning point, but only because the words combine with the consequences of his actions such that people can all of a sudden see how wrong his thinking is.
We, you as a current business owner, me as a previous business owner, can easily understand nobama's hatred of small businesses because we've lived with the consequences each day. However, the average American cannot as they have no frame of reference.
But now they do. nobama himself laid it out very clearly for everyone. Business people are saying, "NOW do you see what we've been complaining about for the last three years?" And people who don't own a business are saying, "WOW! Now I understand. This is awful."
Absolutely perfect!
nobama, I wish for you many more soul-revealing statements like these.
