The really big news here (see link) is that CEOs are scared to speak out about Obama.
We all need to consider that he is a full-fledged dictator at heart who would punish us mercilessly for being who we are and not hating the American way of life and the free market, which he has almost completely killed.
I say that not to intimidate people into not speaking out. In fact, I say it to separate the sheep from the goats.
Anyone who is afraid to speak may as well lay his or her head on the chopping block now.
He who feeds the alligator gets eaten last.
But he DOES get eaten.
It won't help and can only hurt to keep quiet now! Talk while you can and as loud as you can. Your life could depend on it, and your way of life DOES.

HOME DEPOT CO-FOUNDER BLASTS OBAMA: EVEN ‘BRAIN-DEAD ECONOMISTS’ GET IT
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/home-depot-co-founder-blasts-obama-even-brain-dead-economists-get-it/
First it was Steve Wynn, head of the famed Wynn resort empire, speaking out against Obama. Now its Bernie Marcus, co-founder of The Home Depot.
First it was Steve Wynn, head of the famed Wynn resort empire, speaking out against Obama. Now its Bernie Marcus, co-founder of The Home Depot.In an interview with Investor’s Business Daily (IBD), Marcus blasted Obama and his policies, saying “even brain-dead economists understand that when you raise taxes, you cost jobs.”
That’s some tough talk. But really, it’s only the beginning:
IBD: President Obama has promised to streamline and eliminate regulations. What’s your take?Marcus: His speeches are wonderful. His output is absolutely, incredibly bad. As he speaks about cutting out regulations, they are now producing thousands of pages of new ones. With just ObamaCare by itself, you have a 2,000 page bill that’s probably going end up being 150,000 pages of regulations.
It gets even more direct:
IBD: If you could sit down with Obama and talk to him about job creation, what would you say?Marcus: I‘m not sure Obama would understand anything that I’d say, because he’s never really worked a day outside the political or legal area. He doesn’t know how to make a payroll, he doesn’t understand the problems businesses face. I would try to explain that the plight of the businessman is very reactive to Washington. As Washington piles on regulations and mandates, the impact is tremendous. I don‘t think he’s a bad guy. I just think he has no knowledge of this.
Those are some harsh words. And as we get further into this administration, it’s becoming all too common. However, Marcus‘s biggest revelation may not be about Obama’s policies, but more about his administration’s alleged thuggery. According to him, CEOs are scared to speak out for fear of retaliation:
IBD: Why don’t more businesses speak out?Marcus: They are frightened to death — frightened that they will have the IRS or SEC on them. In my 50 years in business, I have never seen executives of major companies who were more intimidated by an administration.
“Out of the mouths of babes,” the Bible says. Nowadays, it’s out of the mouths of business leaders.
Home Depot Co-Founder: Obama Is Choking Recovery
Bernie Marcus co-founded Home Depot (HD) in 1978 and brought it public in 1981 as the U.S. was suffering from the worst recession and unemployment in 40 years. The company thrived, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs and redefining home improvement retailing.
But Marcus says Home Depot "would never have succeeded" if it launched today due to onerous regulation. He recently helped launch the Job Creators Alliance, a Dallas-based nonprofit of CEOs and entrepreneurs dedicated to preserving the free enterprise system. IBD recently spoke to him about jobs and the economy.
IBD: What's the single biggest impediment to job growth today?
Bernie Marcus: Red over rules. View Enlarged Image
Marcus: The U.S. government. Having built a small business into a big one, I can tell you that today the impediments that the government imposes are impossible to deal with. Home Depot would never have succeeded if we'd tried to start it today. Every day you see rules and regulations from a group of Washington bureaucrats who know nothing about running a business. And I mean every day. It's become stifling.
If you're a small businessman, the only way to deal with it is to work harder, put in more hours, and let people go. When you consider that something like 70% of the American people work for small businesses, you are talking about a big economic impact.
IBD: President Obama has promised to streamline and eliminate regulations. What's your take?
Marcus: His speeches are wonderful. His output is absolutely, incredibly bad. As he speaks about cutting out regulations, they are now producing thousands of pages of new ones. With just ObamaCare by itself, you have a 2,000 page bill that's probably going end up being 150,000 pages of regulations.
IBD: Washington has been consumed with debt talks. Is this the right focus now?
Marcus: They are all tied together. If we don't lower spending and if we don't deal with paying down the debt, we are going to have to raise taxes. Even brain-dead economists understand that when you raise taxes, you cost jobs.
IBD: If you could sit down with Obama and talk to him about job creation, what would you say?
Marcus: I'm not sure Obama would understand anything that I'd say, because he's never really worked a day outside the political or legal area. He doesn't know how to make a payroll, he doesn't understand the problems businesses face. I would try to explain that the plight of the busi nessman is very reactive to Washington. As Washington piles on regulations and mandates, the impact is tremendous. I don't think he's a bad guy. I just think he has no knowledge of this.
