New Small Business Survey

So much for Obama's stimulus:
US Chamber of Commerce Member Survey on Small Business Hiring:
The coming year:
64% say no new hiring
19% cutting jobs
12% hiring

Where are the jobs going to come from under the Obama regime? Where's all that hope and change? No real surprises given Obama's policy wrt to business and the demonization ans class warfare being waged by this feeble administration.

Come on, we all know that the Chamberpot of Commerce ponied up a hell of a lot of money in he mid-terms to defeat Democrats, I would not believe those sorry assed whackjobs about anything. Of course the fact that most CEOs are Goopers has nowt to do with their decision not to hire.

Do you like any business association? I can't see why they would not be truthful with their questionaire results. I would think that more positive numbers would be better for their organization. Are you subscribing to the notion that there is a conspiracy not to hire in order to undermine Obama's reelection? I can't understand why some people think of labor union associations as good but business associations as bad. They both just promote their respective causes. Obviously, I think unions restrict freedom whereas commerce associations promote it.

Visions of walking along with my sword attached to my waist in the finest period clothing when a chamberpot's contents lands on my head. The streets must have been quite foul back then.

BHunter:

You know -- a lot of folks here believe that all of biz is actually coordinating a conspiracy with the single purpose of making the Dems and Obama fail.. Gee -- help me out here..

A story about a corrupt cabal of parasitic incompetents that capture the top powers of govt and suddenly captains of vital industries start dissappearing. I think it was a book. Maybe a movie. No- a book that sold more copies than anything except the Bible.

And I think that most lefties considered it a totally improbable fantasy of greedy supporters of Capitalism.. NOW -- it seems that story is their complete excuse for screwing up... Don't tell me -- I'll figure out the title eventually. Written by John Galt?

This story is now gonna be the top DNC spin angle for 2012. "Those greedy bastards are hiding themselves and their wealth to punish the rest of us"..

Well Duhhh... I get briefed directly from the Galt Gulch every morning. It's located directly below the ChamberPot of Commerce Building in D.C.

BTW: The reason you escort a woman on your RIGHT side in public is to make sure that the Chamberpots land on YOU and not your woman.. But we all knew that.. ((Or is it your Left side?)))

During the campaign, Anaken Hussian Obama was going to singlehandedly carry the nation to prosperity in the magical land of fairness. I think the Emperor, Lord Cheney, has found a way to turn him to the dark side.

My neighbor is a small business man, owns a mechanical repair business. One night in a drunken haze, he informed me that he is the "Engine of the Economy". Sunday afternoon I watched him throw another drunken fit with his fat girlfriend because she badgered him out of the recliner and into planting shrubbery. Then promptly sat on her 400lb butt and watched him dig whist stuffing Cheetos and Coca Cola down her gullet. I watched these two slobs have it out from the comfort of my front patio over a cup of pure 100% fresh ground Kauai coffee and listening to "Prairie Home Companion" on NPR.

My greatest concern was that this drunken fool and his bellicose blimp of a girlfriend were going to have heart attacks, or shoot each other. Then as a Red Cross First Responder I would have been obliged to attempt to save them. Something I would do, but stoically, with a well concealed reluctance.

The "Engine" is a obnoxious, drunken ass. I really don't think his problems stem from anything Obama has done. I think it's all a personal issue.

If these people are Americas future. We're screwed.

Well, Dave, at least your neighborhood isn't dull. Between that pair and the Aryan it must be quite exciting around there. A block party could prove interesting.
