 Dan S. I don't really understand how this thread morphed, but if you really want to know, here you are. I ran my own small business for 35 years, and now watching big business has become somewhat of a (hobby). 
So you have no idea if the Obama administration has brought about any changes in the way a business operates - other than what you hear from the media? I can tell you right now that I've seen NO significant change. ymmv

If it weren't for the media I wouldn't know that Barrack Obama is the president. Tell me Dan, is he?

Right wing vs Left wing is an arbitrary distinction crafted to limit the range of acceptable opinion, you can have an authoritarian right wing or an authoritarian left wing government.  Instead of going right and left back and forth on the authoritarian communitarian axis, why not go up towards individual liberty instead? I tend to agree.  I have often observed that in some areas the far left and the far right converge. I see this with freedom of speech and issues related to search and seizure. Unfortunately both American parties are willing to ignore their core principles to pander to their base.
