#1 Is Obama saying that companies are people with citizenship and everything? Do companies get to vote?

#3 The selling out of the meaning of being an American citizen by the Beltway Party (to special interest groups, business groups, the 1 percenters looking for cheap labor), it's rather lame to call upon patriotism. It's every tribe and individual for themselves. You look after your own interests to stuff the ballot box and we'll look at our own interests as well.

#4 Obama (the community organizing politician) is trying to get businesses (a part of the capitalist business community run by real business people such as Romney) to cooperate on hiring the foreigners Obama is shoving down Americas throat.

#7 Well, how about that Obama start by not trying to tear down industry in this country with heavy-handed government tactics, over-regulation, and crony capitalism. For example, early on, Obama sent armed Federal SWAT teams into Gibson Guitar in Nashville over some ginned up environmental issue (use of illegal exotic rosewood in their process). It was found later that the CEO of Gibson donated to Republican candidates. The CEO of Martin who was a heavy Democratic supporter was left alone despite using the same materials as Gibson in their manufacturing of guitars. Crony capitalism or down-right criminal use of the government for punishment of people on the wrong side of politics? Gibson.

#10 This guy shut down my state's primary industry for over a year, while he was giving the banksters roughly a trillion dollars in stimulus.

He's just trolling/gaslighting at this point.

#11 How about this?

Drop most of the repatriotazion of the overseas monies. We are one of very few countries that do this and the only western one to do so.

Allow them to bring the money back home to reinvest and you'll see more tax revenue than if you took it out the first time.

Otherwise.... go fuck yourself.

#15 I'm with #12, and would add the entire bevy of progressive apparatchiks you brought into office and have salted throughout the senior ranks of the civil service. Burning those ticks and leeches off will take years and ruin careers to cauterize the wounds this POS has caused our nation.
