Hillary 2012 Ad Released By Chicago Dentist William DeJean (VIDEO)

September 3rd, 2010

A new ad pitching a Hillary Clinton 2012 presidential campaign has been making the rounds on the web and in select TV markets recently, but it doesn’t mean there’s an inter-cabinet coup brewing to prevent Obama from running for a second term. “She has more experience working in and with the White House than most living presidents. She is one of the most admired women in our nation’s history. Let’s make sure the president we should have elected in 2008 will be on the ballot in 2012. Hillary 2012: Hillary Clinton for President. Start now. Where there’s a Hill there’s a way,” the ad, paid for by Chicago dentist William DeJean, reads.

Lee Stranahan: Obama’s Double-Dip Disappointment Is Bad For Business

September 3rd, 2010

As a small-business owner, I don’t need to wait for the government reports of leading indicators and indices to know that there’s been a tightening in people’s willingness to spend over the long hot summer of 2010. The day-to-day experience of talking to clients and other business owners confirms that something is choking off spending for many as they hunker down for worse times ahead. I’m going to lay some of this at the feet of President Obama but it’s more than just a matter of policy. Barack Obama is hurting the economy in a way that would have been hard to predict back in 2008 when even his harshest critics agreed that he showed qualities of charisma and leadership that caused so many to feel confident again in America’s future.

The box, which is made out of 100% FSC-certified material, features water-based inks and requires minimal tape to close. Read More… More on Green Living
