Past three years too harsh on business

What’s to like? Everyone seems to call this president likable, the guy with the big smile.

Let’s see, what’s to smile about? Our great country has gone through the most tumultuous financial crisis since the Great Depression, and it ain’t over yet.

Three and a half years ago we elected the smile to help solve our problems. Instead what we have gotten is a flood of new regulations stifling practically every form of business, from health care to finance, almost to family farms and finally oil, the life blood of the country.

Where is the help and encouragement as well as common sense needed to right these problems? All we see is a disdain for the commerce that has made this country great, and a quixotic notion of how things should be run.

Likable, I think not.
