Investors around the world say President Barack Obama is bad for the bottom line, even though U.S. corporations are on track for the biggest earnings growth in 22 years and the stock market is headed for its best back-to- back annual gains since 2004.
American businesses earned profits at an annual rate of $1.66 trillion in the third quarter, according to a Commerce Department report released Tuesday. That is the highest figure recorded since the government began keeping track over 60 years ago, at least in nominal or non-inflation-adjusted terms.
Corporate profits have been going gangbusters for a while. Since their cyclical low in the fourth quarter of 2008, profits have grown for seven consecutive quarters, at some of the fastest rates in history.
The captains of industry, fresh off looting America, are hurt that anyone might have said mean things about them! And while Obama should be leading the pitchfork and torch brigades, he's groveling at their feet instead.
And that made me wonder: These businesses, who are having the best profits ever are doing everything they can to destroy his presidency, largely because President Obama is pursuing policies that help and protect them, often at the expense of millions of formerly-working Americans. So why does President Obama keep apologizing to these guys, while chastising the rest of us for not clapping loud enough?
I just don't get it. This isn't the man I thought I was voting for.
