n plays magic 8 ball with taxes and entitlements.Posted on 02/05/2011 2:22:30 PM PST by The Looking Spoon
“Businesses have a responsibility, too,” said Obama in his weekly address on Saturday. “If we make America the best place to do business, businesses should make their mark in America. They should set up shop here, and hire our workers, and pay decent wages, and invest in the future of this nation. That’s their obligation.”....

What a week for this guy, it's really too bad that this came AFTER the Oscar nominations, because between him opening up about his faith, and now his outreach to American business, he's probably the first guy in history that could actually fake an orgasm too.
Business has a responsibility to do what is best for business. If it does what is not best for itself it will run itself out of existence....or in apparent Obamaspeak, "meet their obligation."
One thing is certain we don't need the president, who as Doug Power's puts it, couldn’t run a lemonade stand without running it into a $5 million debt, lecturing business about their role in the recovery process.
Does this idiot not realize that the private sector isn't like the govenrment? They don't sit around thumbing themselves while getting COLA raises and then some through the osmosis of mixing time with entitlement. They can't live their lives like a government worker, they have to hustle, they've been hustling. Strapping anvils like ObamaCare to the backs of business doesn't help, Mr. President.
Business may have an obligation to follow the law, but government has an obligation to not stifle business...and government is the horse, not the cart, in this equation.
Business can't "shop and hire" if there's no money or economic activity to justify it. They also can't project what they should do in the future when a certain nameless buffn plays magic 8 ball with taxes and entitlements.
This is basic, common sense stuff. He probably should've thought it through a bit before putting business over his rhetorical knee. What was he thinking?
Make it so that outsourcing is not worth the trouble.
Just as soon as he lowers the corporate tax rate.
Ya,crickets.......just what I thought we’d hear.
“IF we make America the best place to do business”
______________________
But of course that “if” isn’t accurate under the current administration.
Between nutballs at the NLRB, environmental, tax and health care policies, there are probably better places to do business depending on what your business is.
The only obligations a business has is to provide a quality service or product that fills a need, then make a profit in doing so.
Clueless. Totally clueless.
This from somebody who never did an honest day’s work in his life.
Vernon Jarrett and Frank Marshall Davis, now Valerie Jarrett and Steve Hussein Obama...

Who does he think pays the tax revenue that he hands out to his supporters? He should pull his own weight.
What about Obama’s Presidential duty to protect & defend The Constitution?
When does he start doing that?
It’s absolutely hilarious to listen to a moron try to mix socialism with capitalism. They are not compatible. Socialism is an ugly parasite that cannot survive without feeding off of capitalism. Sorry Barry, you and your girlymen are wrong. Without capitalism, there can be no socialism. Unfortunately for you commie’RATS, capitalists hold all the cards. They have the finally say as you are quickly finding out. This is the real world. It’s not some Marxist classroom full of Marxist “students” listening to some Marxist “professor” on some Marxist college campus.
Exactly what I was thinking. Obama has no idea as to what it takes to run a business. I sat in once as a businessman in a classroom of teachers in a business/teachers forum. After discussing what it takes to run a business the comments I received from veteran teachers was basically, "we had no idea!"
Sometimes I have an overwhelming urge to just bitch-slap Zer0 the Prick . . . he gets EVERYTHING wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!!!!!!! Nobody is THAT stupid. It must be intentional.
Zer0 going to have to stop throwing his weight.
Obama's vision is to extort "protection" money from business the same as the Mafia does.
Obama is a fraud.
I was driving when I heard him say this and damn near drove off the road, but I digress
That’s their obligation.”....
No, you blue-lipped idiot pinhead , their obligation is to be profitable first so they can exist in the first place to "hire our workers, and pay decent wages, and invest in the future of this nation"
How about making America a place to DO business by removing overburdening regulations, lower Corp business tax and capital gains tax first you asshat
Unlike the govment, smart business people don’t borrow money to pay employees it can’t afford.
Same happened to me. The educators were clueless. Reading out of a book. No practical knowledge or applications.
