Online Forum on Small Business: President Obama on Jobs of the Future

[eastariel]

If I were president, one of the first questions I would ask would be:

"Small businesses, what can I do for you? As the backbone of America, you help our nation stand tall."

Mr. Sparkle,

How about asking small businesses for some good advice? They know a lot about the economy.

[eastariel]

We're in the end times -- the end of the old times and the beginning of the new. We're evolving.

Old times -- spending money we don't have, propping up multinational corporate giants, giving our power to the president, and ignoring person responsibility. These kill freedom and crush the economy.

New times -- saving money we do have, shopping locally to support small businesses, curbing the president's power, and accepting personal responsibility. These support freedom and grow the economy.

Small Business owners and entrepreneurs must stop focusing and relying on the government and take advantage of REAL GROWTH tools like Social Media Marketing and Main Street Marketing...

[jammies3]

So does this mean that Hawaii should offer training in working in shops that sell "shaved ice"??!

[MrClingo24]

@devilsreject111 Hey! DevilsReject! I remember you when I first found out about the slimeballs hating on Obama, and you were the King of them all. Hey, what are you doing here, still being a bitch?? What are you saying about Obama no, I love to hear it!

[InvictusX100]

@devilsreject111 LOL....a child is fluttering among us like a butterfly who thinks himself a lion....LOL

[InvictusX100]

@devilsreject111 Your thumbs must be tired. LOL

[notbestfriends]

This Administration, including Obama, is filled with despots WHO HAVE PRODUCED NOTHING, yet they seek to control the private sector.

[notbestfriends]

This Administration, including Obama, is filled with despot WHO HAVE PRODUCED NOTHING, yet they seek to control the private sector.

[notbestfriends]

Obama, the marxist, is an astounding failure.

[InvictusX100]

@devilsreject111 You are doing that? And all by your little lonesome? Your thumbs must be tired! LOL

And I've not hear one word about your pipe dreams in the media.

[InvictusX100]

@devilsreject111 So sad....so sad.....

[notbestfriends]

Never in America's history have we had, until now, such a marxist President and an Administration filled with so many misfits, liars, incompetents, tax cheats, more marxists, radicals & big government despots.

Obama, who never even ran a lemonade stand, can not create pvt. sector jobs. To do so he & his Party would have to embrace & support capitalism, not reject & seek to destroy it.

These despots, who have never produced anything, seek to control the pvt. sector.

[InvictusX100]

@notbestfriends Regan was Prez for 8 years and raised taxes in 6 of them. Obama tries to counterbalance Bushy's wars and corporate control of American life and you call him a Marxist. So much for Capitalism. LOL

[usam1981]

@InvictusX100 Yeah, but Regan also made our economy strong, while Obama has destroyed our economy. You forget all the good things Regan did, and ignore all the Bad things Obama has done.

[InvictusX100]

@usam1981 Really? You are doing what you describe in reverse.,

[usam1981]

@InvictusX100 If Obama had done any good things for this country, I would mention the good things, but I have not seen any good things, everything obama has done has hurt this country, not helped it. Name one good thing, Health care does not count, because it did not help, stimulus does not count, because it did not help.

[InvictusX100]

@usam1981 Can't see anything? Then you're blind. Can you see my middle finger pointing skyward? LOL

[usam1981]

@InvictusX100 As I thought, you can't answer my question, because there is no answer to my question. All you can do in response is be rude, like every member of your party when they loose an arguement.

[MrClingo24]

@usam1981 oh yeah, what is your fucking question. Im a member of "his party" and I would love to prove you wrong. What question!

[usam1981]

@MrClingo24 My question is, what has Obama done that has HELPED this country, and the failed stimulus package and failed health care package does not count, because neither of them have helped. I know that none of you Liberals can answer this question.

[MrClingo24]

@usam1981 Oh really. See heres your problem, you like every other bitch look at the bad things hes done, but look at this!

Extend child tax credits and marriage-penalty fixes

Close the "doughnut hole" in Medicare prescription drug plan

Require large employers to contribute to a national health plan

Require health plans to disclose how much of the premium goes to patient care

Hey do you want more, google Obama scorecard, press Im feeling lucky, and press the Obama meter. Good luck!!

[usam1981]

@MrClingo24 Actually, he has not DONE any of those things yet, he has only TALKED about doing those things. Talking about something and actually doing something are two very different things.

[InvictusX100]

@usam1981 As I thought, a lazy loser who can't do his own homework. Try googling your question and see what happens. A mind is a terrible thing to waste but it seems yours was lost long ago.

[usam1981]

@InvictusX100 You would know wouldn't you. I do my home work, but if you did, you would know that Obama has done nothing that has helped this country AT ALL, the Stimulus package was a failure, and has created NO REAL jobs that will help this economy, and the health care bill is UNCONSTITUTIONAL to the extreme.

[MrClingo24]

@usam1981 nothing to help this country at all huh, look at this:

Open "America Houses" in Islamic cities around the globe

In non-competitive markets, force insurers to pay out a reasonable share of their premiums for patient care

Eliminate the higher subsidies to Medicare Advantage plans

Expand funding to train primary care providers and public health practitioners

And guess what, there is 134 more I can give you. Plus 220 almost finished. So I guess you can SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

[usam1981]

@MrClingo24 Once again, things he has TALKED about doing, and has not done, and won't do.

[MrClingo24]

@usam1981 no thats not true.

[MrClingo24]

@usam1981 these are promises completed you asshole!!!!!! recently completed, go do your homework!

[usam1981]

@MrClingo24 No, none of these things have been done. Go and Do your homework. NONE OF THESE CAN BE DONE.

[MrClingo24]

@usam1981 hm, then whats this! *gasp a document containing proof that these have been fulfilled!!!!!

barackobama. c o m/p d f/Counterterrorism Fact Sheet. p d f

[MrClingo24]

@usam1981 see you just repeat the same thing like other haters, you hold on to those 3 things, but see, people who are smart and actually know about politics, we are able to exchange different facts and proof on and on, and all you do is hold on to 3 pieces of shit. Why dont you do your homework like @InvictusX100 said and actually find some real facts and learn about politics!

[usam1981]

@MrClingo24 And how about you stop blathering on about Obama Talking points. Everything you have said so far have no basis on reality. Obama has talked, and done nothing. Oh, and you proved you can't count. I only listed TWO things.

[MrClingo24]

@usam1981 1) that insult only hurt you not me for proving that haters can only think of so few thing. P.S, when you where talking to Invictus, you listed 3, so you a bitch and a moron.

2) Those are all completed promises you bitch. All of them are completed and are done, look them up asshole.

[usam1981]

@MrClingo24 I did, and they are not complete, also, no go back and you will find that I only listed 2, health care and stimulus, so you can't count. Who is the moron here. You are the one spouting Hatred on here, while I am stating facts that can be backed up. Hatred is all you know, and your only defense when you are loosing an arguement.

[MrClingo24]

@usam1981 um still you because you just keep admitting that your a fucking hater. Losing an argument? Im the only one providing proof!!! You just proving that you cant read or even look up a document!!!!!!!

[MrClingo24]

@usam1981 yeah, actually look at the document, and then we'll talk!

[MrClingo24]

@usam1981 ANOTHER FILE OMG!

barackobama.c o m/p d f/issues/Health Care Full Plan.p d f

thats right, so you can shut the hell up now right you bitch?

[MrClingo24]

@usam1981 yeah, didnt think so, another one added to my shut down list.

[InvictusX100]

@usam1981 And if not this, you'd say that govt. can't create jobs, only business! Which gave them all away. And if Obama and his team had not avoided eco-catastrophe, you'd say what an incompetent he was! And Americare will withstand and legal challenge because it is constitutional and gives all of us the medical care elected Repoopwecants take for granted. And they get in on public coin, too. Say, is that not Socialism? LOL

[InvictusX100]

@usam1981 If there is no answer to your question, then you have no argument to win or lose.

[InvictusX100]

@usam1981 My answer is below, but you are right about one thing: "you can't answer my question, because there is no answer to my question." all rhetoric is this way. So is narcissism.

[notbestfriends]

Obama never even ran a lemonade stand, yet he's regulating American industry.

[notbestfriends]

Obama is a marxist P.O.S.

[mitchthemich]

President Obama is GREAT .

[capleton48]

@mitchthemich NOW WAKE UP

[mitchthemich]

@capleton48 Obama is 1000 times better than al those republican pres. especially GW bush!

in 2012: 4 more years!!!!

[capleton48]

@mitchthemich Is Barry Soetorro (Obama) trying to play a joke on all of us? The budget that the Obama administration has submitted for fiscal 2012 is so out of touch with reality that it may as well be a budget for “Narnia”, “Fantasy Island”, “Atlantis” or some other mythical land. ...4 more years of Obummer and we will be a 3rd world country....by the way both parties are the same they lean on each other. He failed YOU and EVERYONE else that THOUGHT he was THE president...HAAAAAAAAA

[mitchthemich]

@capleton48 President Obama will be one of the BEST presidents ever...

[mitchthemich]

@capleton48 President Obama will be one of the BEST presidents ever...republicans are a disasaster for the country; they hate the country!

[capleton48]

@mitchthemich Did you even read what I wrote...I SAID BOTH PARTIES ARE THE SAME....I DO NOT follow either party, so what you say doesnt make sense..... And not to be a HATER, but TRUTH IS Obummer will go down as THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. WAKE UP, yur dream is over....

[InvictusX100]

@capleton48 By referring to our President in such a disrespectful manner, mitchthebitch, are you trying to play a joke on all of us? HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[InvictusX100]

@InvictusX100 Pardon moi! I was talking to YOU, capleton, not mitchy-boy up above.

[usam1981]

@InvictusX100 You Libs spoke of Bush in a VERY disrepectfull manner, how does it feel to have the shoe on the other foot. You idiots treated Bush far worse than we treat Obama, and I will use the same arguement you use, he was our president. You should respect our president. Get over yourselves.

[InvictusX100]

@usam1981 Bush was the cause of his own problems and America's credibility and authority was wiped clean by that fool. No one on planet earth respected him by the end of his term and breathed a sigh of relief that he was gone. No one questioned his birth certificate or right to be President, but hey, at least we "Libs" didn't throw a shoe at him. LOL

[usam1981]

@InvictusX100 We had authority, but Obama completly destroyed it, along with our CREDIT rating. Obama has NO respect around the world, while I bet if you asked citizens in the countries we helped, like Isreal, you would find that they respect him. You guys questioned weather he had the right to be president, after all, you still say that he stole the election, even though there is plenty of proof that he didn't, and that Gore was a sore looser, who actually tried to cheat.

[InvictusX100]

@usam1981 Bush destroyed our authority, along with our credit rating. Obama is just one among many leaders around the world, who give respect if they get it. Bush's win in 2000 was questioned, then he was appointed President by a judge after the country got tired of counting hanging chads. Gore gave up gracefully saying "Its time for me to go." Then Bush got the war he needed to stay popular (93% at one point) and passed laws that denied American freedom.

OBAMA IN 2012!

[DaveLeech1989]

@usam1981 Fuck the president. Fuck bush and fuck obama. I don't believe they have the people in mind so why should I respect a puppet? This is mindless

[capleton48]

Barry Soetorro (Obama) has allied himself with the multinational corporations that are making huge profits by outsourcing and offshoring our middle class jobs as part of the new one world economy. Our politicians can give speeches until they are blue in the face about how “wonderful” globalism is, but the truth is that it is taking millions of our jobs away and it is ripping the U.S. middle class to shreds.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE

[Polarcupcheck]

Fuck both Obama and the republicans.

[cobra09006]

ASIATIC SEMITIC PEOPLE SOLD ME OUT IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM I WANT MY FREEDOM BACK. do you any afro cushtic attorney

[tHecOmMeNtErSrEtUrN]

We don't need education, what we need is jobs so our education means something.

[Polarcupcheck]

@tHecOmMeNtErSrEtUrN That is the truth. Education means nothing if we don't have jobs to be fulfilled.

[InvictusX100]

@tHecOmMeNtErSrEtUrN Hmmm...good point.

[trippycat123]

let's face it, no matter who the president is, over 50% on the internet will think he sucks.

Jeez, calm the fuck down people >_>

[tHecOmMeNtErSrEtUrN]

@trippycat123

LOL EXTREEM RAGE.

[Dynesty101]

I support my president, he has done a grate job in the past 2 years. Keep up the good work,, don't let republicans bring you down.

[truefaith00]

@Dynesty101

What spaceship did you walk off of?

[DaveLeech1989]

The problem won't be solved until the inflation is delt with, and not by adjusting the consumer price index! We have to stop borowing money! Every time Obama says "I would like to invest" that means he's using money to create programs which will have to be paid for and the interest skyrockets even more. We're trying to fix a problem with the problem. The only reasonable solution is to let the market do it's thing and stop manipulating it. END THE FED

[RichardE8ST]

@DaveLeech1989 Bernanke has a PhD in economics. He agreed with the president. The economy was in free fall. A risk of total collapse was imminent. If he had not acted the economic conditions would be far worse than than you could imagine. Thankfully the president along most all economist have made it known that drastic cuts in spending could create another deep ression and at the least greatly lenthen the recovery. There's little left to cut, put tax payers to work and tax the rich for a change

[DaveLeech1989]

@RichardE8ST A risk of total collapse is inevitable. We've patched the bubble once again which yeah I agree is the only option at this point but the president still isn't dealing with the core of the issue which is debt by inflation. We have to turn around or else we will keep patching by money creation and loans, which eventually will lead to the collapse of the dollar. Sound economics isn't rocket science like keynesian economists portray, it's cause and effect relationships.

[DaveLeech1989]

@RichardE8ST We have to deal with the core issues instead of bi-products of the problem. The Fed has allowed stupid people to accumulate massive debt because the Fed gains from interest. That has to be delt with. The monetary system is flawed, because the institution designed it around their own benefit. If the system is failing then you have to break it down and find the problem and stop using duct tape to fix it.

[hardcorenyc]

All our jobs went over seas while our country is being flushed out by Mexicans!

[1234520231]

i agree look at what he doing he met the good ole u.s.a in a shit hole. Two wars,a fuck up economy ,wall street in mess, the world in a recession the republican out destroy him and don't care if they bring down america just to get rid of him.Pure hate people wake up an watch the true facts not know heresay

[cmorrisj]

If many of you could get past the HATE you have for President Obama, then maybe you will see that he is trying to HELP this country. This man has done what he HAD to do to keep this country afloat. Any suggestions on what he could have done differently? Maybe NOT bailed banks out, so you could complain about that. Maybe not passed Healthcare, so you could complain about how much going to the doctor costs? Maybe not extended Unemployment benefits. Stop hating and start helping!

[usam1981]

@cmorrisj Emphasis on TRYING, and Failing.  SHUT UP, you say that we hate Obama, and then you spout your nonsense. Get over yourself.

[airdelta9]

How can people still like Obama??? I dont get it. HE SUCKS!!!!!

[InvictusX100]

@airdelta9 So does your mama! LOL

[usam1981]

@airdelta9 Because they all have their heads so far up their asses that they don't see what is really going on in this country, that is why. They are blindly in LOVE with the man.

[DaveLeech1989]

The more money the gvt invests the less valuable the dollar becomes. How is this solved? Borrow more money of course. Inflation IS the problem thumbs up to gone556. Stop looking to the executive for answers and start downsizing the gvt they have no place balancing markets! This is what happens when an institution tries to manipulate a free market with keynesian economics!

[hardcorenyc]

Obama socializing with terrorist & communist vote Obama out he has no clue how to be a president!

[obamaisanazipig]

@hardcorenyc

i agree.

[mrjericho5701]

@hardcorenyc He is doing what he said he would do,....bring America down to bring poor countries up,....Liberalism is a Cancer on the world

[memama2]

mrjericho5701 =... owebummer goal about to be achieved. All of us living in 3rd world slums. Ensconced in bamboo diapers working in rice fields, rice handed over to obysmal. And going back to our obama issued eco drafty paper thin cardboard yurts to eat the "1" $666,666 dollar tomato big mitchie grew. Dumped out for us to fight over ~ Obama is a cancer on America

[gone556]

Obama is going to decimate us with inflation. Our purchasing power is going down the drain fast. We don't need Obama allocating money for jobs we need the free market to decide what is needed. Think if when the car was created and Obama decided to bailout the horse and carriage industry because cars would make them obsolete. That is essentially what he did when he decides to bail out certain company and leave others by the wayside. A trillion dollars is a stack of 1,000 $ bills 67 miles long.

[Seedofwinter]

@gone556 I think that that's a misleading metaphor. Cars are after all being used EXTENSIVELY to this day; they aren't at a precipice. Also, remember, it was not like we were trying to keep the flies off of GM, Chrysler at the expense of another American company; but rather to keep an American automaker market from collapsing. If we didn't save them, we would have no viable auto industry.

By the way, it wasn't Obama that authorized the bailout of the cars or banks, it was George W Bush.

[sunnyside3150]

@Seedofwinter When does Mr. Obama become responsible and Pres. George W. Bush stops getting the blame for all that is wrong in the world . It is a wonder he has not been blamed for the riots in the Middle East in the last month or so. Obama is clueless

[Seedofwinter]

@sunnyside3150 Obama is already responsible for what's happening NOW; he is not responsible for the ignorant actions of George W Bush. Why should he be? Does he have responsibility to rectify the wrongs the his predecessor? Absolutely, and I think he is working on it.

And by the way, this is coming from a somewhat disenchanted Obama supporter, that believes as MAtt Damon, that he has misinterpreted his mandate. It was the progressives that poured the sweat to get him elected, not wallstreet

[skrat501]

Honestly, the best way to fix this economy would be to sell our natural resources, or stop buying them, then create solar power/ wind power farms. A second way would be to heavily tax imports that do not create exports, and give hefty tax breaks to exporters. The only way for the second one will work, is if the amount of money gained from tax breaks is less than the amount of money lost from taxes. This will prevent companies from using loopholes to side-skirt the taxes.

[skrat501]

@skrat501 Now I just wish people would see this and make it reality.

[InvictusX100]

@skrat501 They are in the process of doing this already.

[usam1981]

@skrat501 Simple, the first, if we stoped buying resourses from other countries, they would stop selling to us, which would be a bad thing for both sides. Next, there is no way to Use any of those "CLEAN" energy sourses effectivly, we are still a decade from being able to do that. Next, heavy taxes on imports will do lessen the amount of imports we recieve, and will make things worse.

[skrat501]

@usam1981 I'm sure they wouldn't just blatantly stop selling to us. The clean energy is renewable, and yes it isn't very effective, but it can be used as a major supplement till we make it more dependable(and I mean use it way more than we do now). Yes, it will make things worse, for a short period, till we are actually able to supply ourselves, and get enough export money to buy the imports without a problem.

[AnnAAngel1564]

[Mrk42303]

Killing monopolies as was done in our nation’s history will help the small businesses more than anything else, and will then allow the middle and lower income classes become able to earn at their potential from their education.. not have their future income and purchases controlled by big businesses.

[redqueenmeg]

I'm on board, Mr. President. I'd love to train for one of these new careers. But I can't afford to go to school now because I, my husband, and my sons would lose our health insurance which is based on my current job.

I'm stuck.

[shoparomatica]

We really wish the small business has a voice. we have had an ongoing problem since 2009. we have tried the local Senator, they can help up to a certain extent, we have sent various communications to the SBA, White House, e.t.c. but unfortunately NO VOICE. America is a good ground but the institutions are the stumbling block to true enterprise the USA stands for, especially for the foreign investor. One would have thought an investment that has committed over $700,000 cash was worth supporting!

[bsharker]

@shoparomatica You mean all these tax credits for hiring new people and investing in green energy doesn't help small businesses??? But the only purpose of a small business is to give people jobs and be kind to the environment. Not to serve your neighbor through a product or service ;-)

[enifulvio88]

Thank you Mr.President!!
