I didn't run for president. Obama did. He has charisma, I will give him that. I have far more life experience than he does. Hillary Clinton would've made a better president. I voted for Bill. I vote the person. Not the party.
All your talking points about growing at the slowest pace is meaningless. The deficit has grown more under this administration than it has under any president in history. By a large margin. You have your opinion. I have the numbers to back up my position.
But like you said, Things have never been better for me. And you are absolutely correct. I love my job. I am the first one there every morning and more often than not the last to leave. My children have both graduated from college and are both living the life that they want. My wife is my best friend. My health is great and I have more money than I would ever need.

Of course. It's better for you (in spite of the current administration) and worse for your employees (because of the current administration). Whatever fits your narrative. If you're employees are struggling so bad and worse off then they were 5 years ago (stats do not back any of this up) maybe you should give them a higher salary, or a bonus, instead of spending 6 figures on a fountain. But then again your employees might need some place serene to think about their impending foreclosure. Better yet, why don't you give your employees the tried and true Reagan speech of pulling themselves up by their boot straps. No excuses. Oh thats right, they don't have a company they can inherit.
Yes I know, Obama ran for President (twice) and won (twice). A far bigger accomplishment then you ever have had. And my guess is that job is a touch more demanding then deciding on what style fountain to put in the courtyard or what guitar to purchase next. You very well may be a big dick in Madison but you know, that whole leader of the free world and all might trump it.
Oh, and saying you voted for Clinton in the 90's is the Republican version of the white guy who was just caught saying something racist pointing out his black friend.
No, those 'talking points' (aka facts) are not meaningless. You said the Obama administration had no interest in cutting spending. I pointed out that they clearly do. Here's a couple more for you?

To get your numbers (and the numbers the GOP like to throw out) you include the fiscal year 2009. This fiscal year actually starts in June 2008 and includes all of the Bush administration policies. But of course why mention that. Again, doesn't fit the narrative.
Congrats on your success and continued health.
