I saw a Lazy Jack system I want for my sailboat to make single handed

want will come to $570 to be spent on sailing gear. Millions of such
purchases keep our economy afloat and people employed but after
listening to Obama saying how bad the economy is, Instead I sent the
money to savings.
My company sells small quantities of extremely expensive instruments
to institutions who think they need high precision elemental
analysis. Yesterday, one potential customer who thinks he needs one
of our instruments to measure nitrogen in nitrided steels told me "We
are rethinking our purchase due to how bad Obama says the economy is
doing"..
What is going on? Sure, the real estate market melted down but the
properties still exist and there is a bottom to it. However, Obama
seems to think it is in his best interest to talk the economy into
jumping off a cliff. He has convinced millions of people that the end
of the world is near so very few people are buying right now. People
who would ordinarily replace that old beater they are driving are
keeping it because Obama says we are about to go broke.
Obama will directly benefit if he can drive the economy over a cliff
because he can use that as an excuse to get his "stimulus" that does
nothing more than enrich his buddies. Obama is engaged in economic
sabotage against the American people


If you are an example of small business management, it is no wonder we
are going to hell in a handbasket.
