Mr. Obama has made a pledge to small businesses to help them navigate the over regulation they face. Obama has apparently been listening to the small businesses in Ohio and thus, made a promise to them and has stated he will make sure there is small business reform. Obama stated that over half of all Americans work in for small businesses. Actually, 10% of Americans own their own small business and over 65% work for a small business.
My question to the Obama campaign is why now is he bringing this to the table? The plight of the small businessman is not a new problem? Didn't Obama rise through the ranks of the political system, hasn't he ever dealt with this before, or did he simply not care, because he got his campaign contributions from other groups like PACs, Unions and Corporate America? Is he serious or just giving small business lip service? I would certainly like to know.
Personally and in my personal opinion, I am completely troubled by this candidate, for a number of reasons and this latest last minute grab for the small business vote is a bit much for me to swallow. It also appears that Barack Obama is double speaking and clearly does not understand much about what the SBA Small Business Administration has been doing.
About everything Obama promises, the SBA is already doing. It seems each time we check to see if Obama means what he says, we are left with an empty feeling when we check his actions against his words. Vote against Obama, I do not believe he is the small business candidate. And where is Oprah, did she finally see through the rhetoric?

The SBA and SCORE offices provide a great service on the local level. However reforms withe SBA in Washington are needed.
Have you seen this piece regarding the SBA providing Blackwater with a status that allowed them to get out 31 million dollars in taxes?

Or the SBA whistleblower?

This goes back to days of Clinton and Steve Kelman while the Bush administration continues to pass policies that hurt legitimate small business.
I suggest you look at some the Small Business committee hearing from last year involving the SBA and decide for yourself.
