MORE ENCOURAGING WORDS FROM OBAMA, OUR "DEAR BELOVED LEADER”

Apparently, Barry, “Our Dear Beloved,” has been detecting an American energy crisis of late, but, oddly enough, this one isn‘t OPEC’s fault, it’s our own fault. You see, he Has see fit for yet the third time in as many months, to chide, for lack of a better term, the United States for what he describes as being as being a lack of effort in the competition for business. At the annual Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings in Honolulu Saturday, the president said the U.S. has been “lazy” about attracting new investments to its shores: “But we’ve been a little bit lazy, I think, over the last couple of decades. We’ve kind of taken for granted — well, people will want to come here and we aren’t out there hungry, selling America and trying to attract new business into America.” Just the words that you want to be hearing from your president, right? Well, he has to blame someone, right? After all it certainly can’t be his fault. However, he is the most anti-business president ever elected.



In October, the president then told donors in San Francisco that Americans “have lost our ambition, our imagination, and our willingness to do the things that built the Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam and unleashed all the potential in this country.” Barry had previously made the statement in September that, in his opinion, the U.S. had “gotten a little soft” when it comes to competing in international markets. Following Barry’s little “lazy” characterization at APEC, Jake Tapper of ABC “News” asked CEOs in attendance if they would use similar terminology to describe American business efforts internationally.  “I would not,” said Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt. Far from being lazy, what people are is exhausted and frustrated. Barry is doing everything in his power to so dramatically increase the cost of not only doing, but staying in, business, people are no beginning to consider if it’s even worth it. Sadly for the economy, and the country, many are deciding that it’s not.
