Obama to Business: Ask not what we can do for you … but what you can do for me

By Jim Vicevich / February 8, 2011 /

OK. A paraphrase. But even as the President stood before Chamber businesses … his little regulators were hard at work, well, regulating. The question is, has this President changed? Is really listening to business, or is he still pushing a command economy. State-ists, fear not. No change here.

… to solve the problems created by the Obama administration and Obamacare. Back on Dec. 6 I wrote about the provision in Obamacare that might leave doctors and health care providers in a position where they are told a patient has coverage, but they end up not getting paid.

Weekend Video: Rep. Kelly on the House floor … Overwhelming regulations

Hat tip to Phineas at Sister Toldjah. In short, President Obama and the Democrats promised to look at and reduce overwhelming federal regulations, but they keep writing new ones every friggin’ day.

Over-regulated: Feds demand public pools have ramps and wheelchair lifts

By Steve McGough / March 16, 2012 /

Why, just tell me why, the federal government feels the need to inject themselves into this issue? Can’t the public pool management just have a simple conversation with the people or families who need access to the pool and work it out?

Remember earlier this year when the President told Americans that he had instructed his administration to review all regulations as he had discovered that excessive federal regulations actually hurt business, the economy, and jobs?  On Tuesday of this week, the administration, through Cass Sunstein, from the White House Office of Management and Budget, proudly released…

By Steve McGough / March 16, 2012 /

It continues. Here is another example of the federal government politicians and bureaucrats sticking their collective noses into the rights of the people and the state. Again, they’re threatening to hold back federal transportation dollars if states don’t capitulate to the demands of Washington, D.C.

I must confess that I was a bit skeptical when the President, during the State of the Union Address, advised that he would instruct all federal agencies to review existing regulations to eliminate those that placed “unreasonable burdens on businesses”.

Obama’s stance on federal regulations

By SoundOffSister / January 24, 2011 /

We did a post last week about President Obama’s new executive order concerning federal regulations. He has declared that all federal agencies review their regulations with an eye toward eliminating those that impose “unreasonable burdens on business–burdens that have a chilling effect on growth and jobs”. He will, no doubt, tout this during his State of…

By Steve McGough / May 20, 2011 /

That’s right. I’m putting this right at the feet of the president himself. A family in Missouri has been fined more than $90,000 by the US Department of Agriculture for selling more than $500 of the furry creatures in less than one year. The families profit was a whopping $200 for the year.
