President Obama’s campaign rhetoric would leave the uninformed electorate with the impression that he is the only adult in Washington when it comes to creating and saving jobs.
The persistently-high unemployment figures are,according to Obama, the result of Republican resistance to his brilliant Jobs Bill (do not ask about the non-Republicans who voted with the GOP in the U.S. Senate).
Obama also points to the lingering effects of George W. Bush and an outbreak of laziness on the part of ordinary Americans as further arguments to exonerate himself from responsibility for the putrid economy and awful unemployment numbers.
However, many believe that Obama’s anti-business, anti-capitalism, pro-tax agenda has been a key factor in discouraging job growth.
As reported in the reference, in part, one business owner even refuses to hire new employees until The One is gone:
WACO, Ga. -- A west Georgia business owner is stirring up controversy with signs he posted on his company's trucks, for all to see as the trucks roll up and down roads, highways and interstates:
"New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone."
"Can't afford it," explained the employer, Bill Looman, Tuesday evening. "I've got people that I want to hire now, but I just can't afford it. And I don't foresee that I'll be able to afford it unless some things change in D.C."
Looman made it clear that he is not refusing to hire to make some political point; it's that he doesn't believe he can hire anyone, because of the economy. And he blames the Obama administration.
"The way the economy's running, and the way my business has been hampered by the economy, and the policies of the people in power, I felt that it was necessary to voice my opinion, and predict that I wouldn't be able to do any hiring," he said.
Looman did receive some unexpected attention not long after he put up his signs and Facebook photos. He said someone, and he thinks he knows who it was, reported him to the FBI as a threat to national security. He said the accusation filtered its way through the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and finally the Secret Service. Agents interviewed him.
"The Secret Service left here, they were in a good mood and laughing," Looman said. "I got the feeling they thought it was kind of ridiculous, and a waste of their time."
So Bill Looman is keeping the signs up, and the photos up -- stirring up a lot of debate.”
Do not give up, Mr. Looman, because the American people seem to agree with you and, God willing, Obama will spend next Thanksgiving packing for his January 20, 2013 exit!
