Obama proposes help for businesses

the Pajama Pundit — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:01:56 GMT

That's it guys -- keep talking about the economy. Let the McCain/Palin crew keep on blathering about all of the negative stuff. The American voter will listen more closely to issues than negative attacks.

Keep it up.

Mrs J - Illinois — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:02:09 GMT

"Obama's plan for small businesses and what he has done to the stock market is killing my business. I blame him for this crisis we're in."

Really?

You don't read much, do you. You don't listen very well, do you. I suppose you have had your head in the sand for the past eight years.

This didn't happen over night - it has been a LONG time coming and most of us started "suffering" long before we ever heard of Senator Obama. So, in truth, there is NO way he has caused your problems.

Now, do on back to McCain's internet site, collect your points, and go back to work. You've done your job for the day!!!!

I dunno man...the small businesses that are in trouble are in my opinion mostly marginal busineeses...this is confirmed in conversations with my banker..businesses that are well run look good...this type of economy stresses the weaklings and bad actors

Obama proposes solutions McCain goes for fear and hatred. A message of hope versus one of depair. A sign of true leadership utilizing existing programs to help small business.

Offering concrete plans for the Economy

THIS IS GREAT !

Obama look at State and Local governments, they need bailing out
It's time to go to work on our INFRASTRUCTURE

Cut WASTEFUL MILITARY SPENDING !!
When you wrap a flag around the pork barrel...
You get Tremendous wastes of money
Start with Star Wars !
It's a complete wast of money

Maybe we could stop the war in Iraq
And AVOID fighting Iran !

Eric, Salinas, CA — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:08:46 GMT

Barack offers real solutions while his desperate opponent offers only taxpayer ripoffs when he isn't distracting voters with his smear and fear camapign. I wonder what new version of "Herbert Hoover" McCain's new $300 billion boondoggle taxpayer ripoff plan is up on his website today? I bet it isn't the same as yesterday.

Hey we're now only hours away from the real Troopergate investigation's report. Did the slimy dishonest McCain campaign buy off enough repugnant one politicians to keep the real story buried?

Good point that one reader points out that "Manchurian Candidate" McCain is being supported by commies in Vietnam. "Commie Sympathizer" McCain pals around with commies!

Obama is going to help businesses? This is the same man that says everyone can pursue the American Dream, unless you make more then $250,000 doing it. If you do, then you're part of the Evil Rich, and there won't be any of that around here if Barack has a say. You'll be paying taxes tell you bleed if you happen to make more then $250K.

get real. — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:15:57 GMT

So CNN has a Ticker article about both campaigns having a Presidential transition team already working with Bush, which isn't a bad thing at all.

But who is McCain's transition team leader?? A WASHINGTON LOBBYIST. Don't believe me? It says it, plain as day, in the article... so basically, the first person McCain will be learning from and transitioning with is someone representing special interests...

Does anyone else see something blatantly wrong with this?!?! Obama could be using this as legitimate ammo, you know.

Dan L, Claymont, DE — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:16:11 GMT

Hurray for Obama!

As a small business owner I know how tough it is to get credit to expand or even stay afloat. Banks don't want to look at you -- although years ago I finally found one that did -- unless you put up your house and everything else you have to insure the loan. SBA does little to fund anything except investments in equipment. But if you need minds to grow your business, say, programmers, salespeople or administrative staff, they won't back the loan. And if you want money for marketing, forget it.

Small businesses where owners are responsible for the bottom line or they don't make money are the backbone of the economy and deserve more than McCain's platitudes. There's no point in offering tax-cuts to small businesses that aren't making any money to tax, anyway.

Tired of class wars in the West Coast — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:16:14 GMT

Republicans have alienated the highly educated regions — Silicon Valley, northern Virginia, the suburbs outside of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Raleigh-Durham. The West Coast and the Northeast are mostly gone.

The Republicans have alienated whole professions. Lawyers now donate to the Democratic Party over the Republican Party at 4-to-1 rates. With doctors, it’s 2-to-1. With tech executives, it’s 5-to-1. With investment bankers, it’s 2-to-1. It took talent for Republicans to lose the banking community.

Ask yourself, why wouldn't educated people vote for Republicans? If your answer includes elite, then Yes, we want elite leaders representing Joe Six Packs. We don't want Joe Six Packs (like Bush) representing us in the white house. Stop the class war and focus on the issues.

Patrick, Mass. — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:17:41 GMT

This era (1986-present) has been so politically polarizing I fear that no matter who wins, the opposition will tack further to the extremes. With economic unstability, historically, the most radical elements often become attractive alternatives. If McCain wins, watch more Democrats become European-style liberals. If Obama wins, watch the GOP become even more Christian Nationalists.
Our nation, economics aside, is in real peril.

McCain must be sitting there scratching his head, saying, "What a weird approach this Obama guy is taking...he's actually talking about the issues! That makes no sense to me at all!"

Steeler fan — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:19:08 GMT

I'm glad to see Senator Obama putting forth a positive plan for small businesses. He needs to address the personal attacks as well, but can't allow it to seem like he has no plan to address the economic crisis. I would like to see him identify his economic team so that people understand that there are experienced economic leaders with him.

He wants to tax the small businesses then loan the money hack to them?

Small Business Owner — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:19:39 GMT

** Sigh* ** You don't build an economy from the bottom up, you build it from the top down. You have government regulate it, but not own it. You have low taxes and provide an environment for businessed to thrive on. Obama though doesn't get it, he wants to be the one that provides (owns?) these businesses. He wants to say what businesses will get government backing (let me guess, minority and women owned will get the most funding) and will say who succeeds and who fails. Doing so guarantees one thing, they'll all fail.

It's OK to hang out with Osama Bin Laden, too. He's just a guy from around. We kick it sometimes and do some community stuff.

Sure, he committed some bad acts, but that was years ago. I'm sure he's rehabilitated.

Please Tax Me More Barack — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:23:33 GMT

From another chapter of "How Can I Fool Them Again Today", Obama comes out with yet another Whopper. Obama requires that he fund his massive spending plans one way, through the heavy taxation of Small Businesses. And now he stands there and says this is "helping" these businesses? Like to see how Small Businesses are helped when they lay off their work force and send jobs off-shore when their taxes go through their roofs.

small businesses and everyday working folks need help. the proposed bail out of multi-billion banks is not working so far, why not give every person who paid taxes last year(those under $200,000) $20,000 cash to spend and watch the economy take off.

Aside from the Cubs getting swept out of the playoffs, this October is turning out to be the sweetest ever. I am really enjoying seeing the Repubs getting their just desserts after all these years of ignoring everybody but the wealthy. It's so much fun seeing the people in McCain's audiences with smoke coming out of their ears. Of course, in four years - and again in eight - they'll be the last to admit that the majority was right to elect Obama, but maybe eventually they will see the light.

God bless America!
