Barack Obamas life was so much simpler in 2009. Back then, he had refined the cold act of blaming others for the bad economy into an art form. Deficits? Blame Bushs tax cuts. Spending? Blame the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. No business investment? Blame Wall Street. – John Sununu

Politicians also have a love affair with the small business exemption. Too much paperwork? Too heavy a burden? Not enough time? Just exempt small businesses from the rule. It sounds so pro-growth. Instead its an admission that the costs of a regulation just cant be justified. – John Sununu
