Business owners DO have certainty.

They are certain that the POTUS is outspokenly hostile towards free enterprise, views profits as an evil to be redistributed, and is inherently suspicious of business in general. He even called his time in the private sector as like being among “the enemy”.

Business owners are quite certain of the current climate - which is why they won’t be hiring anyone until this wet blanket is defeated.

“Former Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln (Ark.)”

Because she never said/or did anything about regulation when she was a senator, lying beotch!

Now that she has become a LOBBYIST she changes her tune (again)!

Good for her. There remain a few sane Democrats out there, especially in the South and Midwest.

Interesting sidelight - in perusing left-wing publications and websites lately, I have seen a number of common themes being pushed by the Progressive leadership organizations. One of these themes is that government regulations do not truly cost jobs, and business tax rates do not influence either hiring or choice of location.

Apparently, economic "studies" are being used to support these claims and then disseminated to the news media as having come from "non-partisan" think tanks (e.g. - the Economic Policy Institute) , which are of course anything but "non-partisan".

Although Arkansans Opposed Obamacare, Lincoln Was The Deciding Vote On The Senate Legislation THREE Times:

•Lincoln Voted For Cloture On The Manager’s Amendment To The Obama-Reid Health Care Legislation In The Senate. (H.R. 3590, CQ Vote #385: Motion agreed to 60-40: R 0-40; D58-0; I 2-0, 12/21/09, Lincoln Voted Yea)

•Lincoln Voted For Cloture On Obamacare. (H.R. 3590, CQ Vote #395: Motion Agreed To 60-39: R 0-39; D 58-0; I 2-0, 12/23/09, Lincoln Voted Yea)

•Lincoln Was Obama’s 60th Vote On Obamacare. (H.R. 3590, CQ Vote #396: Passed 60-39: R 0-39; D 58-0; I 2-0, 12/24/09, Lincoln Voted Yea)

•“Sixty-Two Percent (62%) Of Arkansas Voters Favor Repeal Of The Health Care Bill, Including 51% Who Strongly Favor It. Only 30% oppose repeal, with 20% who are Strongly Opposed.” (Rasmussen Reports, www.rasmussenreports.com, Survey Of 500 Likely Voters, 10/4/10)

That's why she's a former Senator from Arkansas. In fairness, Harry Reid was there twisting her arm, threatening to withhold campaign funds, and God knows what else. Not that it mattered in the end - Boozman beat her handily even while being outspent by nearly 9-1. Now that she's in private life, maybe - maybe - Blanche Lincoln can see how damaging even the looming prospect of ObamaCare has been to job creation.

No, she is getting PAID to say what she is saying today. Who knows what the evil beotch really believes. I doubt she even knows.

Besides the fact that she hasn't lived in Arkansas in years. She lives in Virginia with her wealthy doctor husband and twin sons (both young environmentalists).

HEY! Robo-voter Blanche! Yeah, YOU!

Nice try to change the color of your spots, but WE remember your robo-votes when you were in the Peoples House in the District of Corruption!

You failed us when it counted, so remember that actions then speak louder than words now.

Did Senator Lincoln happen to explain why she voted in favor of those regulations?

Lincoln lost her reelection bid last year to Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.) and is now chairwoman of the Small Businesses for Sensible Regulations campaign at the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).

So. this Think Tank job is Blanche's reward for selling out the United States taxpayers? This job is her quid pro quo for voting YES on Obamacare despite the screaming NO of her consitituents?

Blanche, go the he[[.

She’s probably just upset that the number isn’t much higher.
