Obama is bad for the economy...

Of the 394 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index that have reported since Jan. 9, earnings for the quarter ended Dec. 31 increased 5.1 percent on average and beat analyst estimates by 3.2 percent. Some 70 percent of the companies have posted better-than-projected results.

man...and they are doing all this with these "regulations" and "red tape" that GOP throws up like confetti at each debate.

Companies are supposed to make money.. so I'm not sure what the issue is..

Problem is, as you like to point out, they aren't hiring.. take a guess why?

Logic rarely works with libs.   

It's a  waste of time.

My company has managed to show profit growth in the past three years.  With 30% less people and a bunch  more work for the ones left over.  It can be done.  Not sure how much longer it can be done, but it isn't impossible.    Didn't get no bail out money because management isn't in the circle of friends of O.  Actually, it would appear that some of the friends of O declared bankruptcy!  Holy shit, how did that happen?    Quite a few, in fact.  Damn close to a majority, from what I read.  The greenies mostly.   Talk about pouring money down a rat hole!

Bookcat is right, because after 2009, I would have predicted we would be facing bankruptcy by 2012.   Turned out better than I expected.  Guess I was wrong.  Shit happens.  The guys that got laid off probably don't appreciate it.  Sucks to be them.

Livin off Obama stash, I  suppose.   Wouldn't know, they seemed to have moved on.  Don't even live around here anymore.

75,000 sq ft of floor space  still uses the same amount of heat (more actually with less bodies) , same amount of lighting energy, same machines running.   Fewer flushed stools, though, which is nice.  Saves on them depleting fresh water resouces.  Fewer people take fewer shits, and the  less  the run off into the water shed. The old carbon footprint per occupant  really took off though.  Hell, if you spin it just right, you could come up with some fuckin reason to vote for more of the same shit  from the socialist cocksucker who got us here.

Good times.  Don't bother with present valuing the money,though, it could be depressing. 

Book is a born again dumb ass.

The reason that they are doing better is that in 2010, the Republicans took over the house. They have effectively blocked every job killing measure he has tried to pass since. Now businesses have a lot less uncertainty that they did  earlier. If we win it all  later this year, 2013 will be a bonanza for businesses.
