"Obama is NOT very intelligent, has a huge ego, and craves power."

Doesn't matter his IQ, ego or appetite for power.
zerO is a beard.
Period.

"Easy pickings for far more powerful elements who are manipulating him."

Not manipulating, controlling.
Literally a puppet, and one who at best made a Faustian deal. Merely playing jester the clowns.

"Soros? He is just one of many."

Uh-huh, bingo.
Just change "many" to "select group. ;^)

It seems pretty obvious to me that the 44th POTUS is not a believer in capitalism. His policy priorities are very anti-business and defy all logic in the midst of a major economic crisis. Unfortunately, the media is also acting irrationally and reports on whatever the WH communicates as the news without question. It’s almost as if it’s a conspiracy to fool Americans into a world of lost sensibility.

I work in a business for profit. We treat our employees well, conduct ourselves ethically and comply with the law like 99.99% of all the other businesses we deal with. We pay our taxes, provide jobs, provide employee insurance coverage, participate in community services, give to charitable contributions and produce products and services that our customers want. Our employees are professionals and reject the notion of the need for third party (union) to represent them. We consider ourselves a family and feel good about what we do.

Businesses like this are the engine that makes America work. With our technology and our productive work force, we can compete with companies all over the world. Why “The Leader” of the free world wants to destroy businesses like ours is a frightening proposition. It will rip apart the very fabric of this country. I can only discern that he knows this, and must have the most unthinkable reasons for his intentional drive to ruin the very thing that made America great.

I hope regular citizens realize this before it’s too late. Once gone, these types of businesses will never return.

LOL

Guess this means he likes businessWOMEN.

The Odumbo can go after small business all he wants to. Believe me, we’re all smarter than he is, and most of us have survivied crises in our lives that would send that immature, pantie-waist puttz and his ‘team’ into fetal positions.

Can anyone say “cash economy” and “family-owed and operated business”?

Obama had no problem cashing the publishing company checks for earnings on his books which allowed him to buy the mansion in Chicago and allowed Michelle to buy the designer clothes.

I wonder if those social workers ever get to jet off to New York on a private plane for a date night. How many teachers can have Earth Wind & Fire over to the house for a private concert? I suspect not many nurses wear $500 Lanvin tennis shoes.

The Obama’s are no different than the other elites running the liberal plantation (Kennedy, Gore, Clinton, Rockefeller, Pelosi). They send their children to private schools, wear designer clothes, travel around the world on energy consuming and carbon emitting private jets, live in huge houses, eat at the best restaurants, and rub elbows with the Hollywood stars and eastern intellectuals. While living the high life they occasionally take time to preach to the masses about the need to serve their fellow man, conserve energy, and do with less for the common good.

It is unfortunate the masses can’t see through the arrogance and hypocrisy. Too many people are more concerned with American Idol and Dancing with the Stars than they are with the future of their nation.

Well, that would be one thing if it were just the Peace Corps. But have you listened to any of the administration officials, most notably Obama, speak to college kids at their commencement exercises?

This is the administrations ENTIRE approach to the economy. Which is the point of this article...they think EVERYONE should work for non-profit organizations.

All career politicians especially democrats who never held a real job or started a business are ignorant as to how economics works

They just respond to lobbyists pressure

That is why we are never going to get out of the recession and or depression while the democrats control congress and the WH

In fact we will be lucky to survive as a nation

Nice work, Schwiezer, until that “Cosmotology” flew right into my eye. Please remove it! ;)

(Obama) told Businessweek magazine in a recent interview that he is not anti-business and that he believes in the private sector.

Filthy liar.

...they think EVERYONE should work for non-profit organizations.

And if they get their way, there will be no other kind of organization to work for.
