  1. No President of any party can be held responsible for unwise decisions made by the Captains of Commerce.
  2. Has the business community decided intentionally not to hire in order to assure the defeat of Pres. Obama?
  3. We can either 'live it up' while we're alive, or give morality a consideration. (Right now, hedonism's winning.)
  4. What to sweat: What will be left for our great-grandchildren and theirs if we contunue to waste all of our fuel resources?
  5. Don't sweat it! Hubble scientists: Our Milky Way won't collide with Andromeda 'til 4 Billion years-by that time our dyin' Sun's devoured us.
  6. Do the math.
  7. Gallup count-USA: 15% God had no part of Creation; 35% God-guided Evolutionists; 41% God 10K yr-old earth/intact human Creationists; 8% ??
  8. Get it, USA?
  9. USA businessmen flock to socialist or communist nations to outsource our jobs, but want no part of those economic systems for USA workers.
  10. Romney Trust owns up to $500,000 in three primarily Socialist European nations; like most USA businessmen wants no part of Socialism here.
  11. Retrofitting your car into an electric hybrid might just be around the corner. No more burning fuel at stoplights or stalled in traffic.
  12. Presidents don't make business decisions, businessmen do. Presidentially guided administrations can only coddle businesses, or not.
  13. Only market demand creates non-government jobs; not companies, not Presidents, not legislators. Wise up, USA.
  14. Company hiring is not a benevolent act. You'll only be hired if you're needed and let go when you're not. (Don't blame the White House.)
  15. The world's business 'playing' field will not be leveled until all nations (& states within) decide to fairly level it-not viewed as sport.
  16. Twitter could help folks a whole lot if it exempted @addreses from its Tweet messages word count.
  17. There's no motive to hold down healthcare costs when the more they pay out the more insurance company premiums (thus profits) will increase.
  18. If you oppose National Healthcare, remember you're already paying for legally required indigent care via your ridiculous insurance premiums.
  19. Russia's Putin, if he wants to promote his socio-economic view, would be well advised to work closer with the USA in the Middle East.
  20. Republicans need to stop putting out empty hopes and get real. Is there no reality within their ranks?
