Wow you people... Answer this...What would have happened if the government hadn't stepped in....... Don't know ?...I didn't think so...the economy would be so much worse off than what it is....what ever you have saved whatever you earn would be gone by now. You would probably be waiting in a food line trying to get some bread a milk to feed you family. To compare OUR president to Hitler is the most unamerican thing someone can do.

SBA loans have bee a fact of life for many years. Real growth comes from the small business community. Large, publicly held corporations raped this country.

Very helpful presidential move towards fighting crisis. Hoping our new government here in the Philippines will have a program like this. I own a small business and I can not expand due to lack of financial and capital start up to hire some Web Designer and Programmer to do jobs for my clients.

I am talking about $2-5,000 dollars only to open up one segment and project to get rolling. I have not encounter any program like this in my community and city.

Kudos to US president.

I am a small business,andgov't contractor. since stimulus $ things have been worse than ever. Business grew, but gov't won't pay outstanding bills to us but wants us to upsize and we can't.w/o extra backing.Went to SBA NUMBEROUS times with just a "NO" answer so after 5 successful years as government contractor, will probably fold. SHAME, SHAME on president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!you are alot of talk with NO ACTION!!!!!!! Hopefully in 2012 things will change, if we are all still here that is.

For Cathryn, Thanks for replying to my comment. If someone put me in shit and said fix it I certainly would't want to go deeper into the shit! That being said, I've been following what BO has been doing, and it is very bad. I wish it wasn't, but it is. I wish it wasn't true, but he comes from corrupt Chicago politics, bought and paid for. PLEASE prove me wrong with something he did that was good for the country NOT something hs SAID he was gonna do. Our feedoms are in danger. Look it up, please?

[4001XBASS]

Hey hey, please stop the insults. Really, calling people names is not how we're gonna help each other, cathryn or ANYBODY doesn't deserve that. It is a fact that I do not like Obama, and it's because I don't like his policy, not his skin. Believe me, Bush was a dissapointment, in a lot of ways. he said he was one thing but acted in a different way. But, we are alive and complaining because he took the war away from America I have to give him credit for that. We have to come together as a nation.

Its all the truth, do your research before you dismiss something.
