Prices Up! Leadership Down!
Small Business Suffers (See personal note at end) . . .
Highest Consumer Prices
in 3 Years!
(and the Worst Leadership Since Herbert Hoover and Jimmy Carter!)
The highest consumer prices in three years were reported today for food, clothing, fuel and transportation.
the oppressive nature of obvious federal government efforts to control, manage and force small businesses into bankruptcy, this news is not surprising. What is surprising is that America’s 30 million small businesses have thus far failed to find and focus and rally their strength in numbers– to respond en masse!
What is surprising is that the Obama Administration has been pathetic at best in it’s token offers of olive branch diplomacy through its stagnant SBA puppet show. (Okay, well, maybe that economy-killing attitude is notso surprising after all. I mean, it actually makes sense as accompaniment to our business-leaderless federal government.)
Messrs. Obama and Biden have thrown entrepreneurs and small businesses under the bus.
In the process of over-taxing, over-regulating, intimidating, undervaluing, and completely disregarding the basic economic-growth interests of entrepreneurs and small business enterprises, widespread meddling in large corporate businesses and attempts to disintegrate free market enterprise competition from healthcare have prevailed.
Lest we forget, by the way, entrepreneurs and small business enterprises are the entities that built America into the world leadership posture that Mr. Obama is relentlessly trying to dismantle at the expense of all Americans.
It’s inconceivable, his “fiddling“–outlandish First Family expenses, preoccupation with sports, and managing to be conveniently and consistently “out of town” while oil spills, floods, tornados, poverty, unemployment, foreclosures, and the undermining of America’s military and global image rise to the surface of day-to-day reality.
And now it’s consumer prices! What’s next? Must be “Dignity” because it’s trumpeted in every speech, and trampled in every action.
Leadership that incessently talks “dignity” and never delivers really cannot be allowed to continue. You and I and our families have struggled and suffered to keep our businesses afloat, to survive.
Has it occurred to you that we are no longer working for ourselves; we are working for the government battling against all odds to make an honest living, but losing ground daily because what we do manage to earn is turned back in to be distributed to others who are too lazy and too manipulative to work for themselves.
Why bother getting a job? Huh? After all, everything’s free. Why bother with even learning English or getting citizenship? Americans are so stupid that they’ll pay for everything anyway. Take advantage. What a great country!

A SPECIAL NOTE TO BLOG VISITORS
I rarely comment personally here, because this blog was created for those seeking business development ideas, methods, stories and encouragement. It was never intended as a political instrument but, you know, it’s become increasingly difficult for me to choose to not be tormented by business-inexperienced, know-nothing leaders who –day after day– pound away at entrepreneurs and small business.
If what is said here offends you, please don’t just click off; call me or send a note and let me know your thoughts. I promise you a respectful response.
Until someone can prove otherwise, I see no exception to the conviction that Mr. Obama has no regard for –or understanding of– what makes America’s economy tick, and that he chooses to ignore even finding out because that pursuit alone will cost too many votes?
Pardon me, but I believe, dear professional practice and small business owners and managers, that this kind of shortsighted, misdirected leadership is not leadership. It is sick, self-serving, do-nothingness that we cannot continue to live with, and that our economy cannot much longer tolerate.
We have the clout to make that change:
Election Day – November 6, 2012.

Thanks for visiting. Go for your goals. God Bless You.
Dear President Obama, your platform was “it’s time for a change.” Your people wanted you to change the economy (improve it), and change the war (end it.) You started in January of 2009. It’s now June of 2011. The war is still going on. We have double-digit unemployment. My salary is close to what it was 20 years ago, but it costs six times more to fill up my gas tank. Parents can’t pay for college. New grads are saddled with student loans and few job prospects. Is this the change you were referring to? I don’t think so.
Thank you, Sue, for telling it like it is! The man has turned a deaf ear to remedies in favor of spending sprees and oratory baimed at getting re-elected. What a sorry mess he’s put us in — and keeping us in. Thank you though for speaking up and for honoring my blog site with your spot-on comments! Please return with more, anytime! Best – Hal
