What President has run a business in the last 50 years? Bush 43 had many failures and dodged insider trading at one point.
GW Bush ran a business and made a payroll, something Obama never did and thus doesn't have a clue. Bush's numbers speak for themselves, something you don't understand. Bush is out of office, you hired Obama and he has made things worse according to the numbers. He makes you feel good though and that seems to be all that matters, 16 million Americans don't share in your enthusiasm nor do the majority in this country today.
By the way here are your unemployment numbers for that pro business state that you claim you have. My bet is you don't have a clue about what is going on in your state.

How is that hope and change working out for the 2.1 million people in Oregon unemployed? Looks to me like it is up again over last month and I don't see any month that Bush was in office where your state had over 2 million unemployed.
