ATLANTA, Sept. 26, 2010, 10:30 a.m. - As unemployment continues to remain near 10 percent, key Republicans are now saying that they are not hiring as long as President Obama's economic and health care policies continue. With an unemployment rate at 9.6 percent, Republicans say that business owners are not hiring because they believe the Obama's policies are "socialist" or even stupid. Billionaire Donald Trump called Obama's policies "stupidity" last week on a segment of "The Situation Room" when he was asked why business owners are not hiring. Trump endorsed Obama's rival Republican Sen. John McCain for president. "Because they're afraid of stupidity," Trump told Blitzer. "Because they're afraid of uncertainty, they're afraid that people are giving away our country, they are very very concerned." Trump's comments come as Newt Gingrich, who is thought to be running for the GOP's president nomination, says that people are not hiring because they believe that Obama is a "socialist." "As I crisscross the country, the number of people who tell me that they are not going to hire anybody as long as Obama is president, because they distrust the administration and think it's socialist," Gingrich said told Fox News last month. Gingrich's comments came just months after conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh said that he wants Obama to "fail." Limbaugh said: "So I shamelessly say, no, I want him to fail, if his agenda is a far- left collectivism, some people say socialism, as a conservative heartfelt, deeply, why would I want socialism to succeed?"

Corporations have trillions in cash but not one dollar for a new hire.
#1 - Sun Jun 5, 2011 10:04 PM EDTWhat this says to me at first thought .. is that they are holding jobs hostage.. as long as the Republicans do not get their way. Like little school children playing in a pick up game of baseball.. and the only bat and ball is owned by one child, and they either play the game his way.. or no one plays the game.
We know this.. generally speaking... that ever since a Democrat never mind a black President... has been in the oval office the Republican's willingness to strive for the best for the workers and for the U.S. in general has been subdued by the fact that they are not working united for a common goal, and only for those who can accommodate the 1-2%, and most importantly their pockets... It is blasphemy the influence peddling that is going on especially on the wingnut side of the aisle.
