Where is the Small Business Town Hall Meeting?
After I finished this post, a couple questions occurred to me:
1) Has President Obama ever met with business owners to find out what they need (or don’t need) from the government to help them create jobs?
2) Can you name any part of the stimulus bill that was specifically requested by small business owners?
It dawned on me that I can’t recall any instance where he sought the advice of actual business owners even though they will have to generate and sustain the economic recovery we all want.
So if he hasn’t met with small business owners, why not? Are they going to tell him something he doesn’t want to hear or does he simply believe he knows how to run their businesses better than they do?
I suspect the latter.

Okay, right now these senators & the President actually think they are qualified to run the country's largest banks & oil companies. So darn right they think they know better how to run a small business…..even though they had to outsource the Senate cafeteria because it lost millions upon millions while they were in charge of it.
That said, it is interesting that he only goes to "sell" his stimulus plan to the poor folk who will be the benefactors of the money he's going to steal. If he can get enough of them to buy into it, then he won't need to drum up support for it among the middle or upper class neighborhoods whose earnings & savings he is going to plunder to pay for all this.
