Obama said "I think we should approach it the same way Tip O?Neill and Ronald Reagan did back in 1983. They came together"

If Obama is kicking ass? why is unemployment average for Obama about 9.5% and 4 million people are underemployed?

12 million more added to food stamps, gas prices have gone up 80% since he took office, or are you just referring to the 140,000 new government jobs to handle the
45,696 pages of new regulatory rules were added to the Federal Register?

You know that 7 members of his economic team have resigned?

Maybe you are talking about his foreign policy where China owns 1.17trillion of our debt, or maybe going into more countries with out congress with troops and drones.

Of course maybe you love the environment, because the he spent 26 billion on the EPA and plans to spend more.


OK, lets see, what are you going to say he's done? well there's the new bank regulations

Wall Street firms ? independent companies and the securities-trading arms of banks ? are doing even better. They earned more in the first 2 1/2 years of the Obama administration than they did during the eight years of the George W. Bush administration, industry data show. [...]

The largest banks, including Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo, earned $34 billion in profit in the first half of the year, nearly matching what they earned in the same period in 2007 and more than in the same period of any other year.

Securities firms ? the trading arms of big banks and hundreds of other independent firms ? have fared even better. They?ve generated at least $83 billion in profit during the past 2 1/2 years, compared with $77 billion during the entire Bush administration, according to data from the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association.

or maybe he got the healthcare bill passed

Companies and Unions need to request waivers of the requirements for a $750,000 level of coverage and comprehensive services including vision, dental, and other services when they currently provide much lower levels of health insurance for their employees illuminates the central problem with the law. To paraphrase Jimmy McMillan: the cost is too damn high.

Most small companies can?t afford to provide comprehensive fee for service, unmanaged health insurance to their employees. If business can?t provide it now, the unaffordable of comprehensive insurance will be transferred to the taxpayers. Subsidies will be provided to the new insurance exchanges and we?ll have to borrow trillions of dollars more in the coming years to pay for it.

If Obamacare succeeds in its essential goal of providing comprehensive health insurance to another 30 million people, companies will be foolish not to put their employees into the newly created plans. Certainly all the companies and organizations that have requested waivers will be doing exactly that. They can?t afford comprehensive insurance now and won?t be able to afford it in 2014.

Maybe this is why whole states have opted out of obamacare?
