Liberals are always long on telling other people what their obligations are.
What the are short on is proving that they've ever accomplished anything that demonstrates they are qualified to to do so.
So, Obama fails to understand that a business' obligation is to earn a profit for its owners.

"And for my next trick ... "
You hired all these people and then dared to turn a profit? WINDFALL!!!
