[quote=Anonymous]ok, I'll take a stab at this.

i'm undecided, wholly around social issues and fear of rewarding bad behavior with the white house.  but i read a lot of remarks by corp ceo's and they are frozen with uncertainty right now, thus are reluctant to hire.

i believe obama took on the wrong issue out of the box with health care and he and the economy has paid a price since.  most of the stimulus money went to transfer payments and bailing out states instead of bricks and mortar--in my view a flawed decision.

dodd-frank is a full employment project for banking lawyers--jamie dimon asked a simple question:  did anyone add up the cumulative impact of all the new regs?  i think he got back a blank stare.  i think there was little focus on the unintended consequences of a new massively complex bill.  but i really think dems who want more stimulus spending don't have the background to understand the sand-in-the-gears impact of these and other new regs.

Keystone--should have been an easy call.  it sends a terrible message and has much broader impact beyond one pipeline.

my bottom line--over the past decade there have been zero net private jobs in this country..any growth has been wholly in the public sector.  there is, i think by now, an appreciation that public sector will not grow, so we must have private sector job growth.  i fear that will not happen, or will not happen at a brisk pace, under a 2nd obama term.

now please don't go parsing speeches and ask me to cite "so where exactly does he trash big biz."  i'm just saying the cumulative effect of 4 years of this administration is that they don't get how to set the table (and then get out of the way) for robust private sector job creation.

and, fundamentally, i think they don't understand govt's inability to do much here except harm.  Was there a master fed policy to encourage growth in social media employment?  Natural gas production?

but it's my bias--i think a govt should collect the revenue it needs for some core services--which includes a safety net--and then get out of the way.  not every problem has a govt fix.

i think romney gets that far better than obama.  doesn't mean i'll vote for him, but i sure don't appreciate being called stupid for so considering---particularly by the limo lib crowd. [/quote]
