  • I heartily agree that Obama needs to focus on job creation, which ought to be targeted to the entrepreneurs who create the most worthwhile and lasting jobs.

    Instead, we are getting the non-productivity of "cap-and-trade." Along with increases on the healthcare mandates hitting struggling and start-up companies, he has assembled a coalition pushing an anti-employment agenda.

    I am hoping a dose of reality sets in before he destroys more of the economic vitality of the nation.

    I have predicted a Reagan-style surge from the populist Republican direction if Obama refuses to correct his course.
