Title: Obama - No jobs or opportunity for Main Street

His message was that the United States wants to help countries help themselves, not offer aid that provides short-term relief without reforming societies.

Stimulus and recovery that doesn't help anyone but special interests?  Bankers? Global elite?

"That's not development, that's dependence," Obama said. "And it's a cycle we need to break. Instead of just managing poverty, we have to offer nations and people a path out of poverty."

Where is the path out of poverty for Main Street?  The opportunity to work?  Start your own business?  Grow an existing business?

"The purpose of development -- and what's needed most right now -- is creating the conditions where assistance is no longer needed," he said. "So we will seek partners who want to build their own capacity to provide for their people."

Really?  Where are the conditions in the US to create jobs and not welfare?  Create the conditions so that entitlements are no longer needed?

Why isn't he letting Americans drill offshore like he is encouraging the Mexicans and Brazilians with US money?

Why isn't he allowing Americans to build capacity to provide for their own families and not at the expense of taxpayers?

Why does Obama seem to save all the anti-job, anti-business bits and pieces for Americans?

It's like he doesn't like us, and wants us to eat "Beans N Dogs" so he can continue to eat Lobster?

How good was your "let them eat paint" dinner last night?
