Obama and McCain Who is Better for Small Business?

Posted at September 23, 2008

In reading this article by Inc.com you would think that they were personally jilted at the alter because Obama’s man Jason Furman was at a meeting in Florida with Obama’s economic advisors to discuss the economic melt down. I guess Inc deems their conference as the priority. However one thing is for sure I don’t think there is any one person who can solve the problems we are in.

At some point we are going to have to take the bitter pill and swallow the decisions we have made for the past 30 years. We can start by cutting spending, cutting pork, getting along, forgetting about the parties we are aligned to and just do the right thing for our children instead of for ourselves.

Funny that Obama and McCain refused my invitations to talk about small businesses on www.mysuccessgateway.com. So, in my experience both of them have given little time to small businesses. I approached them 14 months ago, I got the excuse it was too early. Now I don’t get any replies. Washington at some point is going to have respond to the voters.

Douglas Holtz-Eakin found himself in something of an awkward position last Friday afternoon, as he sat before an audience of some of the nations most successful growing entrepreneurs. Holtz-Eakin is John McCain’s top economic adviser, and he was invited to the Inc. 500 conference in Washington, DC, to debate economic policy with his counterpart from the Obama campaign, Jason Furman. Moderator Carl Schramm had just asked Holtz-Eakin to sort out his candidate’s position on tax policy.
