Obama Seen as Anti-Business by 77% of U.S. Investors - Yahoo! News


Now, I'll really be interested to see how "it's Bush's fault" can be spun into something that is 100% about Obama. Whether these investors are right is irrelevant to a major degree b/c in investing perception is reality. Perception has a major impact on investing.

Oh sh*t I fell for it!!!!!! Why is he bad for business??? Is it because he is trying to keep the fox from guarding the henhouse? I worked in the banking industry for over 20yrs... It is ashamed that the banks got away with the products that they offered... Now what Obama is trying to do with the banks he should of done it 10 months ago. Reason why is because banks like Chase, PNC, Bank of America has gotten bigger with help from the govt. Now there is a possibility that they will be broken up?

Again I am not making any excuses for President Obama. But other than Rooservelt & Truman. Please try to name other presidents that came into office with this much crap to clean up? Trying to fight two wars, and a terrible economy. The part with the investors, damn the market has jumped at least 50%. Hell I made a shit load of money in the market and my mortgage business in the past year...

the big banks should be broken up if the govt is going to have a "to big to fail policy". there is NO reason that INVESTMENT "banks" should have access to almost no interest money from the govt to invest. banks have to go back to being BANKS! investment brokerage firms and insurance co's should be separate. something has to be done about how rating agencies do business.

I asked before and you avoided the question like the plague. What policy has President Obama created that has caused the market to rise? I know your comment before was about consumer confidence, so were you giving credit to President Bush when all-time highs in the markets were hit? Doubtful. How about unemployment? Lagging indicator yes, but higher on this President's watch and lower on the last right? You want to give all credit to the President for Dow rising, but no credit to previous and no credit for pullbacks?

I'm going to be the first one to say that I do not know.... Are you shocked????? But I am smart enough to know that if you lower taxes and start two wars.(GW) We are going to have a large deficit.

there would be a deficit now even without the wars. ALL govt spending is out of control, and its not just a dem thing. that's why the tea party is so popular. why does govt have to be everyone's keeper? so they have complete control? isn't that how communism is?

I am shocked since you were trying to tie the two in other posts. I agree with Husker in that 2 wars and tax cuts aren't the only things adding to the deficit. Unfunded Medicare expansion (GW), investment bubbles causing tax receipts to lower, and unsustainable spending are huge contributers to the deficit. And as you are well aware I am sure, your mtg biz is probably better b/c rates are lower from Fed constantly buying Treasuries and artificially lowering rates. What do you think happens when that stops happening shortly? Or what about the number of people who now can't even qualify for loans b/c of new stipulations in lending? Not all GW's fault.

THAT may be the biggest scam in the history of the world!!!

nobody is talking about that. it can't go on for ever, and that is when the market will dive again.

My job, a small business, we are dying. There is no work to bid in construction, no one is building because NO ONE can borrow any money. And those who have perfect credit are not borrowing.

That is how it is for many of us, and I blame whomever is in office. Who else am I to blame, if the economy was booming, all hale King Obama, i could give two shits his color, as long as times are prosperous, i like him. But they suck, so he sucks!!

Anti-business aside, how bout Anti-America?

Probably over 50%




Soon as Obama opened his mouth about more bank regulations (sooner or later Fed will take over at this rate) the market dropped 200 points.


Sooner ar later Obama will want government oversight over when you can take a shit.
