‘Anti-Business’ Obama is Best President for Corporate Profits Since 1900

surprised at this, and slightly saddened. Would be nice to see personal income growth go up by that rate; corporations earning more money does you or I little good.

It shows that the GOP's smears are completely divorced from reality.

I wouldn't take a chance hiring people in the U.S. until I knew Romney wasn't going to be elected. He'll send every possible job to China and elsewhere just as manufacturing jobs plummeted under Bush and fell during ALL the repub presidents (in my lifetime).

They can relate to Forbes because the author said "Democrat policies".

published by Forbes of "100 Richest..." fame. No way anyone can accuse them of being a lefty publication.

Steve Forbes - presidential candidate in the RepubliCON primaries in 1996 and 2000. Even worse than Charles Schwab??? (LOL). I don't remember if Steve Forbes went around the country scaring seniors with low interest rate armageddon.

All about Charles Schwab's latest antics for anyone else reading this (and Beac's response):

On the OP subject, I've put together "EF economic facts" about Obama v. GW Bush http://www.democraticunderground.com/111622439, also mentioning Robme Romnesia's record (my stuff on Robme's record is short so I stuck it below the ====).

I definitely will include nuggets from the OP in EF Economic Facts.


=========== Robme Romnesia's job creation record =====================
(#.) And then there is this - Romney justifying his poor job creation record at the 3 1/2 year point of his administration as Massachusetts Governor -- by blaming the economy he inherited from his predecessor for the fact that his (Romney's) job numbers kept falling during the first 11 months of his administration -- and touting the number of jobs created (50,000) after his job numbers finally stopped falling -- http://www.democraticunderground.com/125198174

However, that 50,000 post-turnaround job creation record was a poor showing on a per-capita basis compared to the national average at the same time period, or the Obama record during the similar post-turnaround job-recovering period of the Obama administration. And consider that during Romney's entire 4-year term as governor, Massachusetts was 47th in job creation (in percentage increase terms) -- yes, only 3 states had a worse job-creation record.

By the way - he almost moved Massachusetts from 2nd place in per capita debt to 1st place.

Forbes Magazine is a great place for that article to have run b/c NO ONE can dimiss it as a left-leaning Democrat-friendly publication.

Forbes is the kind of magazine that JUST MIGHT get Republicans like the OP's friend to take another look at who they are voting for.


Great EF link!! You might want to edit in a space b/w the last 9 in the link and the comma after it b/c right now it causes an error when you click it (thinks the comma is part of the link.)

I entirely agree 100%. Sorry not to be clear.

Thanks and Thanks. I'll fix it in 15 - 30 seconds.

Corporations remind me of the dragons of myth. Sitting on their stolen riches.

Gee, must be something wrong with the central Republican economic theory. Wonder what it is...

It does suggest Obama was right when he said the private sector was doing fine.

under Obama -- 66% above where it was at the last close before inaugural day (speaking of the S&P 500, as of Friday 10/26/12 close). (It declined 37% from the beginning of the GW Bush presidency to the end of the Bush presidency.). Details: EF 4. at http://www.democraticunderground.com/111622439
