    Default Obamas President, Now what?

    Discuss.

    I found this on the internets:

    "Dear Fellow Business Owners:

    As a business owner who employs 30 people, I am resigned to the fact that Barack Obama will be our,
    next President and that taxes and fees will go up significantly.

    To compensate for these increases, I figure I will have to increase my
    product prices by about 8%. I will also have to layoff 6 of my employees. This really bothered me as I always believed that we were a family and I didn't know how to choose the employees to layoff.

    So…
    I strolled thru the employee parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on employee cars and
    decided that these employees will be the first ones to be laid off.

    I can't think of a more equitable way to approach this problem. If you have
    a better idea, let me know. I am sending this letter to all business owners I know.

    Sincerely
    Ward
    JOOA Corp."


    In the long run, I think Obama voters will regret their decision.

    Bogus thread not to mention:


    Provide Tax Relief for Small Businesses and Start Up Companies: Barack Obama and Joe Biden will eliminate all capital gains taxes on start-up and small businesses to encourage innovation and job creation. Obama and Biden will also support small business owners by providing a $500 “Making Work Pay” tax credit to almost every worker in America. Self-employed small business owners pay both the employee and the employer side of the payroll tax, and this measure will reduce the burdens of this double taxation.

    I can't even count how many times the capital gains thing has been discussed. This will help a very small number of small businesses. The other making work pay thing makes no sense and really isn't gonna help anything either since he's prolly going to remove the cap on social security.

    Actually lol.

    1. Obama could really fuck shit up in the next year enacting his tax the rich policies. Will he?(Highly doubt it)

    2. Is he capable of "change" yea absolutely largely in part he will have almost all of congress behind him. The democrats may not control 60 seats in the senate like they want to but they are close enough that all it takes is a few republicans to say I like it(which always happens) and congress is fillibuster proof.

    3. Hate to break tit to you but Obama deserves almost no credit for getting us out of Iraq. Guess who does? Bush. He's been negotiating our withdrawl for months. Most people don't know about it because the media doesn't give it all the coverage that it deserves. Garauntee you though Obama will get almost all the credit for getting us out of Iraq.

    i think its fucked up how people still think that people dont like him because hes black. his race isnt the problem.... his policies are.

    another thing. regarding the war, we cannot just "pull out" of iraq. the country will implode on itself. the extremists will come in and take over the unstable country in a matter of weeks. and then we WILL have a problem

    You're saying someone could come in and in two weeks, make more of difference than we have in 5 years? Sounds like a success to me..

    We already have problems domestically. I don't see how we put Iraq on this high ass pedestal like we NEED to save them when we struggle to save our selves. The logic behind that is amazing.

    With this reasoning, do you call Vietnam a success?

    We have a ton of problems domesticly, but none of those problems should get in the way of what needs to be done there. Leaving Iraq too early will do nothing more than give us a reason to head back there in 2 years under far worse conditions than we have now. Not only will we have the foreign fighters fighting the US, the domestic fighters fighting the US, and the domestic fighters fighting other Iraqis, but we will have FAR less support among the Iraqi citizens that are that support us now.

    well with all due respect, Its much harder to change 1000s of years of hatred that it is to go back to the way things were.

    I mean i think if we pulled out instantly, you would have IRan/Syria backing someone to take over iraq. The Iraqis are getting better but they just prob couldnt hold out against a guerilla coup if it happened.

    Its a very fragile country, an NO ONE can call it a sucess of failure right now, its too soon to know.

    Whether you agree with the war or not, we are in it, it makes no sense to withdraw now, and Obama seems to be conceding that point based on his recent decisions

    i heard this on cnn yesterday, did a search on their site and pulled this IMPORTANT PIECE out of the article for the business owners.

    • Business break for losses: Obama is considering a tax break for businesses that book losses in 2008 and 2009.

    The stimulus plan may extend what's called the net-operating loss carryback to five years, up from two years currently. The provision lets companies apply their losses to past and future tax bills so that they can get money back on taxes they've already paid or would otherwise have to pay.

    • Job creation: Obama would establish a new credit for businesses that either create jobs in the United States or avoid layoffs.

    • Small-business write-off: Obama would increase the amount of expenses small businesses can write off to $250,000 in 2009 and 2010, up from $125,000 currently.

    While political observers believe the now-added emphasis on business tax cuts as a major part of a stimulus package is one way the Obama team hopes to attract Republican support, that's not how the Obama camp explains it.
    full article is here: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/...ref=newssearch

    as far as the war stuff goes...people need to understand that the man is not going to take EVERY SINGLE SOLDIER OUT OF IRAQ! they just built a damn embassy over there. you don't build an embassy somewhere and then just LEAVE. i personally think that he's going to be a little more "strategic" in how things are done over there. not just dumping troops, blowing money, and feeding weapons. the most important thing he can do over there is try to mend the relationship we have...so we're not just seen as "tyrants," and don't have to fight this thing all on our own.

    ^^ man stfu. Bush was the one that sent them over there for no reason in the first place. What did we get out of the war, nothing son. The only thing that we got out of the war is dead solders, broken hearted mothers and fathers who lost their sons knowing that they died for no cost.

    BUSH WAS THE WORST PEACE OF SHIT PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY!

    LOL. Way to address the post.

    No I didn't over analyze, nor did I get this from news source; simple observation over the past year leading up to the election.
    So are you saying that this is why Bush is getting us out?I'll hold my response until you respond to this

    100% no, though I do feel that it weighed heavily on his sudden pick up of pace on it. The American people were getting more and more angry at the war, and the sense of it never ending.

    During the past year, the American people as whole have voiced thier opinion on the war and Bush as a president. I am not knocking his performance or judgement at all, but I think he began to realize the voice of the people. Obama rallied LOTS of Americans, no one can doubt that. He banged ending the war like crazy.

    Republicans as a whole have lost touch with the voice of the people.

    IIRC, Bush didn't start negotiating withdrawls until people jumped on the Obama bandwagon. Obama critized Bush A LOT over the past year, coincendently these past 3-4 months Bush has been looking to withdraw.

    No I didn't over analyze, nor did I get this from news source; simple observation over the past year leading up to the election.
