Can businesses survive Obamism?

Has the White House "lost its way" along the "Yes we can" brick road?

During President Obama's State of the Union address to the country last night, many things were said that ruffled the feathers of some small business owners. Some were delighted to hear his comments. And many more will eagerly anticipate what concrete actions will follow to bring to pass what the president has promised.

Many Americans who supported Barack Obama in the beginning of his term are now coming to question his decision making ability and intuition. This is not a bash on the president or the White House. It is simply meant to be an opportunity to refresh our mind set. Can small businesses really pull through with the potential health care bill and lack of concern for unemployment?

According to the Wall Street Journal, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R., Ohio) stated, "The American people were looking for President Obama to change course tonight, and they got more of the same job-killing policies instead." Obama acknowledged that not enough had been done for the unemployed of the country. Although admitting a problem is the first step in solving, does this mean anything beneficial will be done to change the situation?

After the speech, much was left unsaid, uncommitted to, and unaddressed fully. It is now time for skeptical business owners to take a stand and fight apathy. In order to win the "war on capitalism" as it seems, business owners must stay informed, aware, and more importantly innovative. The age to come for America is going to be one of new channels and mediums for advertising, production, customer service, and more.

Check out this article and determine for yourself whether the change in the White House that was promised has been a change for the good, or worse along with what is to come.
