FOD 2011.11.14

The downgrader-in-chief, speaking at  the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Conference in Hawaii, called U.S. business leaders "lazy." He went on to claim that, under his administration, it isn't the federal regulatory environment that is to blame for stagnant economic growth. In obama's view of the world, we would all be better off if the states would get out of the way and let the feds run things. From Jammie Wearing Fools:
“Because of our federalist system, sometimes a foreign investor comes in and they’ve got to navigate not only federal rules, but they’ve also got to navigate state and local governments that may have their own sets of interests. Being able to create if not a one-stop shop, then at least no more than a couple of stops for people to be able to come into the United States and make investments, that’s something that we want to encourage,” Obama said.

Yeah, just ask Boeing how that works for them. They built and then wanted to staff a plant in South Carolina until the union griped and Barry O unleashed the hounds at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and now two  years later South Carolina is still trying to open the plant. How about that oil pipeline that just cost us 2000 jobs because the State Department stepped in and decided at the last hour that the pipeline needs to be routed differently? How about workers in Charlotte being told to move aside during the Democrat convention for outside union labor to be brought in?
It's painfully obvious that obama has absolutely no clue how the real world works.
