John Alter issues a challenge to "Prove" how Obama has failed as President and how his policies are to blame.. He's getting fucking destroyed over it (Naturally) but he issued it and I posted a reply in the comments section regarding uncertainty.

I won't post the whole thing, but basically, he's created uncertainty everywhere and it's paralyzing investors and creators... There's trillions of dollars cooling on the sidelines because of this.

Then a liberal responds with this:

Ron in reply to JhoffaX 14 hours ago
"Uncertainty" is a red herring. There is no such thing as "certainty" in business. No matter what Obama does, you could be fired tomorrow. You could die tomorrow. Some bank in Europe could go under and torpedo the world economy. Business people are paid to use "judgment", which means making sound decisions in the midst of "uncertainty". Those who thrive do so precisely because of the uncertainty that their competitors cannot handle. Will people buy our product, or won't they? Can't be certain. Will taxes go up? Maybe. By the way, what about uncertainty regarding the tax codes in 50 states and 204 countries? Should Obama be responsible for that too? No Republican president has ever "reduced uncertainty", other than in their own minds.
