First off, don’t believe the hype. The United States has always done better economically with Demorats at the helm. Most recently, under Bill Clinton. Remember the surplus?
Second, Obama has not been the U.S.’ biggest spender, and not by a long shot.
Third, The Economist just endorsed Obama. The Economist! Neither Bloomberg nor The Economist are big old liberals. Both were somewhat reluctant endorsements: Bloomberg’s because he thinks Romney is too inconsistent, and The Economist’s vote was based both on Romney’s bad math and on Obama correcting the “scandal” of having so many people without health insurance in a country as rich as America.
Fourth, Mayor Bloomberg just endorsed him. If there’s a business guy in politics, it’s him.
#5: Global investors prefer Obama to Romney and see a second Obama term as good for American business: due both to the policy and the stability a second term brings.
#s 6, 7, & 8: Bill Gates, Paul Krugman, and Warren Buffet all endorsed him, and none of the three are lightweights in business and economics.
Starbucks’ CEO Howard Schulz fought Obamacare hard and still endorsed Obama.
Numbers 10 to a whole hell of a lot more: all of these other people!
