Obama's Pro-Business Record

February 07, 2012 at 5:56 PM

By RICH LEVY

Andy Harris sent around an email, gloating over a green energy company that failed. Odd thing for a good citizen to gloat over, when their nation's economy is struggling back from a near-depression which was brought to us by his own party.
This is one more problem with Andy Harris Republicans. They are so used to playing a fixed game, on a playing field rigged for their crooked buddy-boys, that they have forgotten that in the real world there are both success and failure. That is the "risk" inherent in business and investment.
Fortunately Obama administration policies have resulted in success stories like Chrysler and GM, and Intel, which have created and saved jobs, and nourished our economy ten thousand times more than Harris' few, churlishly selected examples.
Andy's business policy acumen, to the extent that it exists at all, exists only in hindsight, no matter how much he whines that he saw every failure coming, except for his own party's.
