By all means. I mean, you don’t actually expect Barack Obama to take the blame for promising that his $787 billion stimulus wouldn’t allow unemployment to rise above 8% and that promise turning out to be false.

The One can’t accept blame for the failure of his policies. There must always be someone else to blame. This time, it’s the very employers he simultaneously needs to save his presidency from disaster.

As I’ve said from the start of this crisis, hiring often takes time to catch up to economic growth. And given the magnitude of the economic turmoil that we’ve experienced, employers are reluctant to hire.

Small businesses and large firms are demanding more of their employees, their increasing their hours, and adding temporary workers — but these companies have not yet been willing to take the steps necessary to hire again.

Yeah, they’re so unwilling to hire more employees and expand their businesses so they can increase profits. It can’t possibly be that they’re unable and you’re only making the situation worse.

Obama must think that companies, big and small, are photocopies of Ebenezer Scrooge, counting their piles of money and refusing to hire any additional help. He doesn’t think for a second that they can’t afford to hire new employees and that his policies are only making it more difficult.

And now Obama wants to raise taxes on the same employers he blames for not hiring new employees. As if taking more money away will lead them to bring on new help, rather than force them to cut back their employment roles even further.

The man is completely ignorant of even basic economic and business logic.
