This is what you have based your 1st proclamation on?

Obama does NOT appreciate the Private Sector and the genius of private enterprise, that has given the USA a very high standard of living;

he has even admitted that that he did NOT enjoy working in the private sector and called it ... "working behind enemy lines" ... .

So the proof of your first sentence is that Obama has even admitted that that he did NOT enjoy working in the private sector and called it ... "working behind enemy lines"

I thought you would be half intelligent about this but maybe that's impossible for you ... I thought you would put up some figures .. you know, showing how OUR corporations, stock market, private sector business have suffered due to Obama ... BUT of course, you didn't do that ... because it would be impossible for you to do BECAUSE they have FLOURISHED since our President Obama took over ..money is sloshing in their businesses so much so that they have been buying back their own shares ...that's right, NOT opening a new business not putting Americans back to work BUT buying back their shares because they are AWASH in cash! ....I've been looking at all of the companies that have announced buyback plans in the past two months, and most of the stocks in question are trading near their 52-week highs. Considering that the S&P 500 has more than doubled in the past three years, companies are conducting major buybacks because they have too much cash, and not because their shares are necessarily bargains.

Your (1) proclamation is incorrect, in more ways than one.

Now I will provide you with the ENTIRE statement where President Obama did NOT say working for the private sector was like working behind 'enemy lines' ...

And so, in the months leading up to graduation, I wrote to every civil rights organization I could think of, to any black elected official in the country with a progressive agenda, to neighborhood councils and tenant rights groups. When no one wrote back, I wasn’t discouraged. I decided to find more conventional work for a year, to pay off my student loans and maybe even save a little bit. I would need the money later, I told myself. Organizers didn’t make any money; their poverty was proof of their integrity.

Eventually a consulting house to multinational corporations agreed to hire me as a research assistant. Like a spy behind enemy lines, I arrived every day at my mid-Manhattan office and sat at my computer terminal, checking the Reuters machine that blinked bright emerald messages from across the globe. As far as I could tell I was the only black man in the company, a source of shame for me but a source of considerable pride for the company’s secretarial pool….

…[A]s the months passed, I felt the idea of becoming an organizer slipping away from me. The company promoted me to the position of financial writer. I had my own office, my own secretary, money in the bank. Sometimes, coming out of an interview with Japanese financiers or German bond traders, I would catch my reflection in the elevator doors-see myself in a suit and tie, a briefcase in my hand-and for a split second I would imagine myself as a captain of industry, barking out orders, closing the deal, before I remembered who it was that I had told myself I wanted to be and felt pangs of guilt for my lack of resolve.

From the Book - "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance."

now let me ask you something bitch! what would you feel like if you were the only white dude working for a company in a sea of BLACK?

To BE CLEAR! Obama did NOT SAY He did NOT enjoy working in the private sector! Actually he was concerned about enjoying it TOO MUCH!
