Jobs Up, Jobs Down: Where Does the Blame Land?

All O’bama does is blame the Republicans for everything. He is constantly blaming the Bush Administration. That and taking vacations–he’s back right now just to change suitcases. If we could get rid of him we might actually be able to save some money and pay some bills!!!

No it all falls on Obummer he’s just pandering near election time but the reason small business is not hiring is because they are unsure of Obama care and what’s it’s going to cost them.

The blame falls on Obama. He is supposedly in charge. The economy has gotten worse ever since he was elected. He takes no responsibility for his administration actions. He just blames everything on the past. His policies are destructive to business and the economy shows it.

The President has been a leader in facing today’s 2010 problems, health care reform, economic stimulus and he wants to make opportunities for better lives for more people. Many of the Republicans only care about themselves and wining seats in the government not about the majority but the minority of people. Those who keep money by making laws in their favor at the cost of denying others opportunities. Republicans have been obstructionists to a recovery and honesty about moving forward. Laws that favor business but not only honest, ethical business, just anyone who wants to pay as little as possible in corporate taxes and owns a business. Greed is ok with Republicans. It is the American way for many Republicans as long as they win and it doesn’t matter who else suffers by their actions.
They are not out for the good of society but the good of themselvs, Christian ethics are not part of Beck or the Republicans, it requires compassion and honesty and they will use indifference and lies to continually make people afraid of including more people in the American Dream. Protect yourself and do harm onto others when necessary with lies or negativity is the Tea Party mantra and so many Republicans.

Republicans sitting on their votes is the biggest part of the problem. The President is not a dictator.

Obama is trying to stop the tax cuts for extremely wealthy in this country. How many small business owners are in the top wealthiest percentage? The Republicans don’t give a damn about small business owners, they only support corporate America who donate all the money to keep them in office. Small business owners aren’t the ones who are out-sourcing, and sending our jobs overseas. Wake-up America, and see who the Republicans are supporting!

The republican party is to blame for the economic problems. It is the party of no, greed and fear-mongering.

When you possess the white house and have a majority in both the House & Senate, it is absurd to look at the opposing party as “obstructionists”. This is childish finger pointing. When Bush & company were in complete control things that transpired on their watch are their fault. The anti-business, anti-wealth, let’s all be poor attitude of the President and his men are clearly at fault for the present decline.

Uberpartisan Republican’s relentless cheerleading for the administration to fail has been a huge factor in keeping anger, fear and pessimism at fever levels. Healing would happen much sooner if these “leaders” would stop picking the scab and get serious about finding solutions to our nation’s problems.

The deficit has increased during this administration by more than all previous admins going back to George Washington. We have govt. takeovers of GM, Chrysler and numerous banks. This admin promised unemployment would remain below 8% if they passed the so-called “Stimulus” Bill. Unemployment went up and has stayed at 9.5%. This is what happens when people vote for a charismatic community organizer who has no experience running anything. The only area BO seems to excel is in how many vacations and parties he and his wife can have. This President is an inept leader who thinks spending the country into bankruptcy is a good plan.

How many people are in the Billion dollar club?!!! Those are the only ones who don’t want the tax cut to end. These people don’t care about the billions of unemployed people. There companies are the ones outsourcing our jobs. And we give money to people from other countries to start a business, in our country, who DO NOT hire Americans to work for them nor do they do they pay taxes to our government. They charge the people tax, on everything, turn it in. Then get it all back at the end of the year. This was NOT Obama doing. There allowed to do this for 7 years. Then to keep the sham going they sell it to a relative. Who does the same thing. What happened to Americans working for America!

Obama’s socialist program is doing it’s level best to destroy free enterprise (and job growth) in this country…He calls it wealth redistribution! But what it really does is add tremendous cost and uncertainty to all businesses…Obamacare…expiration of tax cuts the end of this year…cap and trade…no business knows what the real costs are going to be and hence is unwilling to add more people until they do…and who is Obama kidding about the Republicans holding up any bill??? He controls congress and can ram through anything he wants…this is only campaign rhetoric! If he was a real leader, he would bring everyone together for the sake of the country!…His only ability is working with Acorn…We MUST vote him out at the earliest possible moment if we are to save our country…

I blame both sides! First the President does not know his way around Washington like he thought he did. He was a freshman Senator when elected to President and he had not finished his first term (remember the IL Gov and his problems).
Second the Republicans have been dragging out everything. I do not understand what is going on. It is like they think that they were elected to represent the Republican platform not represent the people who elected them. Ok they are against something (like unemployment extensions for example) they vote to keep it in committee the first time and only win by 1 vote. It is pretty sure that eventually the Dems will get it passed, but instead of allowing it out of committee on the 2nd vote they keep killing the extension. What happens? Are the Democrats or Republicans affected at all? No it is the people who made the mistake of electing ANY of them that end up on food stamps and losing their homes.
We need a clean slate in Washington on BOTH sides. AND reform of the outdated and idiotic rules of the Senate and House!

The ‘Community Organizer’ seems to think that the purpose of small business is to hire people and provide benefits. If there is no work for a business to do, more borrowed money will not be needed for expansion and no workers will be needed. The trouble is that Obama, having never had a real job, is clueless as to what will make a business successful. Congress can make borrowing easier and provide more stimulus but as a retired business owner I know bigger Government is not the answer.

Obama and the Democrats need to take ownership for the mess that this country is in. If you follow what has got us to this point it is the Democrats all the way. The Democrats wouldn’t listen to Bush to make changes in the housing situation years before it bottomed out. Obama has hurt small businesses and other businesses with his national health care program and other policies, but he wants to blame that on Bush as well; and he is hurting the poor who he supposedly was going to help. He hurt education so that there have been cuts everywhere. He took credit for the auto bailouts, but how many remember he didn’t want to bail out the auto industry. Ford didn’t take bailout money and it was taking from the poor so that those that could afford to buy new vehicles could buy them is the only reason that the auto industry is doing as well as they are this year. That is the one thing
Good that came out of it. He put people to work for a little while. Let’s see how they do without the incentives. Since there is no longer the tax write off for new home buyers housing sells went down and you will see the same thing with car sells. He should have helped produce long lasting jobs instead taking money from other Americans, many who couldn’t afford to take advantage of his incentive programs, so people could buy new vehicle that really did nothing to help our environment. Obama is supposed to be helping the poor, maybe, but not the working poor. I am hurting big time and I don’t have the money to take advantage of the benefits others have received and I am working poor. When is he going to help me? Sorry I normally don’t ramble like this, but I am so sick of Obama. He needs to be out, out, out and all members of Congress that allowed the CEO’s to wipe their bottoms all over the face of Americans need to go as well.

The 2005 CBO data show that changes in law enacted since January 2001 increased the deficit by $539 billion in 2005. In the absence of such legislation, the nation would have a surplus that year. In 2010, when all the Bush tax cuts were finally phased in, a staggering 52.5 percent of the benefits went to the richest 5 percent of taxpayers. President Bush and his supporters argued that these high-income tax cuts would benefit everybody because they would unleash investment that would spark widespread economic prosperity.
There is no evidence of this.
From 2000 to 2007, the United States lost one in five (3.5 million) middle-class jobs. A majority of the new jobs created in the United States under Bush pay extremely low wages at less than $18,000 a year, usually without benefits. This is with corporate profits at an all time high since 1960.
Our media is stuffed with right wing propaganda filled with the same old tired radical right buzz words… technocracy, elitism (remember the Republican crook Spiro Agnew?), big liberal agenda – you mean the one that has to be put in place to take our chestnuts out of the fire built of 8 years of deceit, profligacy and handing the richest among us more and more tax breaks? And what has truly stirred people is not any big liberal agenda, it’s the continued lies, exaggerations and manipulation of the poorly educated, reactionary right wing base.
It’s the obstructionism of the Senate radical right wingers who serve the moneyed oligarchy and drape themselves in the banner of conservatism when they should really be made to wear the hair-shirt of anti-Americanism.
Where did all the jobs go?
The Republicans sent them to China and Mexico and India. Tell them to look you in the eye and say it isn’t so. Under Clinton? 21 million new jobs. Under Bush? 5 million created and 7 million lost. Great job, boys. Your lies will undo you.

I have to laugh at the comment about the media being right wing. What a laugh. No I think the media is starting to realize how sick the majority of people are of their voice being stifled by all three branches of government. What has happened to our Republic form of government where people have the voice and the elected officials are there to represent the people. This is no longer happening in our country. I am going to keep trying to let my voice be heard while I still can, because things are changing in this country fast. If the media has turned toward the right since Obama came into office, maybe they are starting to be afraid that their voice is going to be stifled as well; and maybe they realize that they made an error in convincing the American people to vote for Obama. Spend, spend, spend is not the way to getting our economy back on track. This policy has already dropped the value of the U.S. dollar and Obama wasn’t even able to convince the leaders of Canada and Europe that this was good policy. They flat out told Obama that they disagreed with him. I would be afraid to start a small business in this economy and what is the chance of the business succeeding. I honestly don’t know what is in these bills of Obamas, but if I look at Obama’s history, I’m sure it isn’t good. Maybe we should have helped the community banks, before we helped the corrupt international banks where there CEOs stole from the American people. Many of these CEO’s weren’t even American citizens so we gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to corrupt business men, many of whom weren’t even Americans. Obama can try to turn this on the Republicans all they want, but the Obama Administration and Democratic Congress are the cause of our heartache, not the Republican. I have to also laugh that the media and the democrats think that they can use Michelle Obama to reach the American people. She lost that when she took a vacation to Spain that cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars just for that one trip. We have to quit spend, spend, spending. It is only making things worse and has only provided brief relief to our country and employers.

Don’t worry guys, we can have this same conversation in two years and blame it all on Bush again. And then we can reelect Obama and be can blame Bush in his sixth and eighth years … If I hired a new CEO to run my company and all he did was complain about the other CEO, he would be gone very soon …

It’s not just Obama. It’s the result of those selfish, self-centered people who continue to put Liberals in office, and all of the Liberals in office (including Obama) that continue to ignore what the American people are telling them. The only reason for bigger government is to be able to get and waste more taxpayer money. Jobs are gone because we’ve allowed the government, unions and minority special interests to dictate our direction – hire the unqualified, pay more for less output, provide benefits galore, extend unemployment and take away any incentive to work, etc. We’ve lowered our job productivity, education standards, and increased social programs to prosper those who contribute NOTHING to this society, as well as failing to enforce basic laws of this country (immigration) by claiming minority profiling. This administration has spent us into a hole so deep we can’t even see the surface.
