Did Bush "have our back" too? Because I must have missed that when exactly half of the houses on my street went vacant when Bush was in office.
Wal Mart has been in business for many years and yet how many Republican presidents did anything to help the cause of the average Wal Mart employee?
You seem to think that who sits in the oval office decides how small businesses will react. You seem to think that small businesses will be less likely to expand while a Democrat is in office. Small business owners do not sit in their office and say "Gee, I have a great offer to expand my business by buying another location, but there is a Democrat in office so it's not a good time to expand". Bullshit.
And what's most ironic here is that you are here telling us that small businesses will not expand because of Obama, mean time, your business expanded and you have a larger building than before. Because a Republican White House put us in the worst recession since the 1930s, you were in a position to expand your business - even though Obama was in office and the economy was still in shambles you jumped at the chance. That's the nature of business.

Get off your soapbox. no one is interested. I am talking about people going on strike and losing more than they already lost.
Why didn't the hostess people strike the week before the election?
I will tell you what the difference is between people that can grow during a recession and those that can't. It's equity. When you and I first met all those years ago, I had already been in business for many years. Over those years, I have paid back the banks and borrowed more and larger amounts. My debt-equity rating is in the 22% range. I can borrow 8 figures easily now and probably 9 if I wear a nice suit and listen and don't talk to much. That's the difference.
Someone who wants to start something new today, has the deck so stacked against them it's terrible. It was stacked against me at the start, but then businesses were NOT the enemy like they are today.
The false sense of bravado and security the unions have with the reelection of Obama will do nothing positive for workers. It will only cost them more jobs,as we've already seen.
