Unfortunately we are in for another 4 years of slow slide into oblivion and God only knows how long to dig out of the rediculous debt accumulating. Is Obama a bad guy? probably not. Did he have a clue what he was getting into 4 years ago? Definately Not. Is he arrogant and confrontational? Anybody who watched the debates can answer that. Does he have the skills to guide this country out of the muck our economy is in? 4 years +4 trillion in debt tells me no. His comments about cheap gas showed a weak economy when he took office and now that we have expensive gas things are getting better... ?!?!?!? 'nuff said?

Put the religion thing aside. Put the race cards aside. Romney has proven skills and the background to run our economy and the country. If the guy was given the office there was a much higher probability that the economy would have gotten back on track and then everyone on the forums could have bitched about his social policies.... or maybe not.. they would have been busy getting back to work. Well at least the obamaphone lady would have been bitching aout it. I'm still lost at when our country started demonizing people that are successful.. I'm pretty sure that was somewhere in the American Dream. But I didn't get the AACORN Occupy Everything memo either...

Real world though... How many of you have gotten the phone call from your high end clients that projects are being "delayed" or are dropping prices on high end cars to move them before the end of the year? What these Obama-ites don't realize is that many industries like ours and the economy as a whole depend on this 2% (that owns businesses, runs businesses, invest in businesses, spend money on luxury items) feeling comfortable enough to spend money. They don't spend money, we don't make money, we don't have money to spend, we don't have money to hire people or buy equipment, and then economy slows. I had plans to hire for projects slated to start in January but in the last two days I've had 2 out of 3 projects put off "indefinately" waiting to see the results of this "financial cliff." I have another client that turned down an offer on his car two weeks ago then called me back yesterday to do the deal just because he is cleaning house after the election worried about what is coming next year. Scared money doesn't make money... if businesses are afraid to spend money they arent going to... and Obama's fiscal policies scare people with money to spend. I'm going on year #5 now going solo and I've never been this uncertain of the future.
