#1 We've also gotten inexcusably lazy picking our leaders.

#2 The reverse is true: The US has gotten very, very good at repelling and destroying businesses.

#3 Look in the mirror, O. If you see a reflection, then that reflection is the cause of the loss of confidence of business people to invest in new business.

If no reflection, then there is a vampire loose somewhere sucking out the life blood of the nation.

#5 It is mindless governmental regulations that are choking off business.

#6 Huh? Investor confidence tanked in October 2008. Obama has done nothing to restore same. However, unless real solutions are posed, he could weasel himself back in.

Ohio was half-red/half-blue; now it is 90% blue. Unions who gouge unearned pension benefits were able to swamp the Limbaugh-Beck regurgitate. Why is President-Catastrophe still in a position of strength?

#7 Translation: "holy crap. I am just now figuring out that all the wealth I planned to redistribute does not grow on trees. Why didn't they mention that in my senior seminar on Social Justice?! Or maybe it did, one of those days I was out, heh, smokin ganjaweed. Oops. We Americans sure are lazy!"

#8 O can say the most infuriating things. Lazy? He should try to make a living with his economic insights! Let me explain, O, not everyone has a friend at the Whitehouse to give them a 500 million dollar deal to ride out this mess.

#9 President Obama said that the United States has gotten a "little bit lazy" when it comes to bringing in new businesses in to the states.

WTF? Does that make it an advertising problem?

The government has been working very hard at screwing things up. Carefully covering their tracks and a$$es.

Leave the people alone and things work fine.

Last time I checked, entrepreneurs were very careful about starting businesses. Prospective business hosts don't have to do anything, entrepreneurs will come to them.

Try again, Obean. We're not so stupid as to believe this, even though you would like to think we are.
