The result was lots of money for the owners and unemployment for the employees.
Just keep on spewing that nonsense. All it does is show how little you actually understand.

You make a lot of assertions but how do you arrive at that conclusion? Give examples.

I see no evidence that he prefers inheritors of money to entrepreneurs. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, neither of whom have inherited their money, are on Obama's side on polices like taxes. Obama makes speeches at new tech plants.

Essentially, you are creating a narrative of Obama, from your own head, that isn't true.

Then prove me wrong. Calling what I say "nonsense," without anything behind it, doesn't make it so nor convince anyone else.

Your lack of debating skills is astounding. I provide supporting examples, evidence and facts. Try it sometime.

This thread is another Obama bashing party. The OP makes a few baseless assertions and provides not a shred of evidence supporting the claim he/she is making. The assertions are so baseless that it's fun countering the merit-less claims with actual counter-examples.

Show where he is or admit you're just pulling irrational statements from a warm brown place.

Obama talkng about real, close-to-the-street capitalism is an oxymoron because his own background includes very little exposure to it.

Might as well have the Pope talk about sex or Madonna talk about chastity.

Self-made??? Please don't insult our intelligence; he is the ultimate media-oriented product of a gang of schlockmeisters who seek to fine-tune hia appeal to the slowest and most short-sighted at the back of the room.

Obama is a self-made man. You didn't disagree with it.

4- Sidley Austin LLP $240,846

1- Goldman Sachs $573,080

3- JPMorgan Chase & Co $393,825
4- Morgan Stanley $373,850
5- Credit Suisse Group $317,410

I guess the former group represents stupid and poor, the latter group... capitalists.
I find it an interesting note that a University system funded partially by the state of California is the third highest donor to president obamans campaign
The state is a financial bind yet is OK for the Cal to give money to a election

You don't know (or cared to learn about) how it works, do you? (Hint: US Army is Ron Paul's top contributor). And if you look at that short list, you'd think Romney is ahead of Obama with contributions because bigger money is with him. However, Obama is way ahead, and has smaller contributions from more people.

Well, you've gotten the wrong idea. According to Politifact, "The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organizations' PACs, their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families."

I don't see anything wrong with employees of the university donating money. Do you?
