It's so sad to see how few people in the Obama administration have any private sector experience.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Obama had reached out to the business community, they just haven't liked all of his decisions and some of his rhetoric. But generally, I think the administration is quite open and accessible.
We cannot get serious about helping the private sector create quality jobs without focusing first on the main drivers of our economy - the American middle class and those struggling to enter it.
We've been so preoccupied with getting the government to behave in a fair and democratic way, we were not able to focus on the private sector where most of the jobs are, where most of the wealth and opportunities are.
I am not someone who tends to advocate for increased government involvement in the private sector.
I'm a liberal, but I think there's so much that the private sector can do and does do.
You're not going to build private-sector jobs if you don't like business people.
I thought the Bush economic policy was a disaster. We lost 500,000 private sector jobs during his tenure.
If I could create one job in the private sector by helping to grow a business, that would be one more than Congress has created in the last six months.
Isn't it fitting that so many of those who have contempt for the private sector will soon find themselves back in it?
The fundamental problem is that President Obama has grown government. He has grown the private sector jobs.
