Why businesses are afraid of Obama.

Last night, Steve Wynn appeared on the "Ralston Reports" a Nevada political talk show. In an interview with host, Jon Ralston, Wynn criticized Obama saying, "I'll be damned if I want to have him lecture me."

Steve Wynn is a successful businessman who has created over 250,000 jobs.

LAS VEGAS, NV (Catholic Online) - Wynn defended his status as a job creator. Wynn has opened a chain of resorts and casinos in Las Vegas which employ tens of thousands of workers directly, and create employment for thousands more in other industries.
"I'll be damned if I want to have him lecture me about small business and jobs. I'm a job creator. Guys like me are job creators and we don't like having a bulls-eye painted on our back," Wynn told Ralston.

He added:

I've created about 250,000 direct and indirect jobs according to the state of Nevada's measurement. If the number is 250,000, that's exactly 250,000 more than this president, who I'll be damned if I want to have him lecture me about small business and jobs. I'm a job creator. Guys like me are job creators and we don't like having a bulls-eye painted on our back.

The president is trying to put himself between me and my employees. By class warfare, by deprecating and calling a group that makes money 'billionaires and millionaires who don't pay their share.' I gave 120% of my salary and bonus away last year to charities, as I do most years. I can't stand the idea of being demagogued, that is put down by a president who has never created any jobs and who doesn't even understand how the economy works.

Wynn explained why he felt so strongly about Obama saying that he's afraid of the President.

"I'm afraid of the president," Wynn said. "I have no idea what goofy idea, what crazy, anti-business program this administration will come up. I have no idea. And I have to tell you Jon that every business guy I know in the country is frightened of Barack Obama and the way he thinks."

Steve Wynn is so full of himself. He does not really give an answer to why he dislikes Obama.
He never showed President Obama respect and when he is interviewed shows a personality that is very insecure . He can hardly understand why anyone should have a difference of opinion with the great Wynn. Wynn should try being a more humble person. He makes money off of people gambling and losing their savings which destabilizes family life not only in the United States but now internationally. he is divorcing his wife for he left her for a younger women. Clearly he is confused. He is afraid of what.? He shouls be proud of being a US citizen. Wynn previously threatened to move to China and become a citizen of Communist China to pay lower taxes. Wynn is not to be taken seriously. If he ran for office he would get possibly 5% of the vote, for the other 95% lost at his casino's.

When President Obama took office the country was losing 800,000 jobs a month. Currently 130,000 jobs are being created. It is slower then wanted but it is getting better. Wynn is not to be taken seriously anymore!
