President Obama and American Business.

President Obama and American Business.
Obama has “invested” over a trillion dollars into the U.S. economy. He used money out of worlds largest slush fund, also known as TARP 2, he spent 800 billion on so called shovel ready jobs, bought clunkers, provided billions in guaranteed loans to green energy businesses, and spent tax payer money in a myriad of other ways. The results are an economy that is likely recovering more slowly then if he would of done nothing.
Of course there were millions of shovel ready jobs just waiting on the Presidents okay and they would not cost the American Tax payer a dime. The energy sector and the Keystone pipeline projects alone could supply millions of jobs if President Obama would let them!

I was enthusiastic in the beginning and I'm very much less enthusiastic now. I was hoping that we'd get—despite the rhetoric of the campaign—Clintonomics. We ended up getting Carternomics. Jimmy Carter's economics were a disaster and we're headed down that same path right now. So Obama is the new Jimmy Carter, economically.
