The anti-business White House

Businesses, particularly small ones, create jobs. The Obama administation is our first anti-business administration. The national unemployment rate is 9.5 percent.

Any questions?

From AP:

Still, Obama has nurtured "an increasingly hostile environment for investment and job creation," says Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg, chairman of the Business Roundtable. Thomas Donohue, who heads the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, sees a "cumulative job-killing impact of over-regulation" under Obama.

"The truth is that not even the Franklin Roosevelt administration was as hostile to and ignorant about free enterprise as this administration is," declared magazine publisher and one-time GOP presidential contender Steve Forbes.

So far, Senate Republicans - echoing some of the same antibusiness complaints - have been able to block Obama's small-business jobs bill, even though small business is a traditional core GOP constituency. Republicans claim the bill is misguided.
