When has Obama ever said that businesses making a profit is good for the economy? He thinks all those businesses and "rich people" aren't paying their "fair share" and must turn more money over to the government.
He JUST did (though he has before). His latest speech says, among other things, that the future of America is to restore the middle class and support small businesses.

I only push it because it's the truth. Obama thinks that there is nothing special/unique about the US, has apologized to countries all around the world, hides acts of terrorism under the guise of a video, consults with Communists and members of the Muslim Brotherhood, uses the government to take over private industries, desires to tax the country as punishment for using the "wrong" types of fuel, etc. There are a bunch of things he has done that has deliberately harmed our country.
But as long as you insist on editing everything into the most extreme version, then you will be pretty miserable.. and WAY off-base.
Apology is weakness? Sounds like a classic bad man-bashing joke. People with strength and honor apologize. So, Obama did apologize.. for specific actions that we did wrong. We have a long and proud history of not just celebrating our accomplishments, but occasionally owning up to our errors. Not all of them and not fully, but no nation really can do that, if for no other reason than that no group fully agrees on what needs an apology and what doesn't. He has ALSO very much celebrated lauded and champion our country, its dream, its freedom, diversity and ingenuity. Considering apologies as weakness and any criticism as an attack and affront is teh work of a bully, not a statesman.
HIdes acts of terrorism? Not sure to what you are referring there. He has instituted drone attacks that don't make me or many other people particularly happy (to put it mildly), he got Bin Laden... and no doubt there are plenty of more nefarious acts, most of which will only coe out in 20 years. And essentially every president the US has seen has done some version or other of that. It comes with the territory. It is a realm where we, citizens need to keep watch and yes, crticize.. but to single Obama out for that is beyond sense.
"Consults with communists and members of the Muslim Brotherhood". Well, rather hard to negotiate or even get a full handle on the danger of folks without actually talking to them in some fashion or other. Is he letting those folks dictate our policy? No, unless you consider response to be "dictating", which apparently you do... He also consults with church leaders, union representatives, big business owners and lobbyists... etc.
"Uses the government to take over private industries". Well, the GM thing was largely set before Obama took office. Beyond that, the government has always had emminent domain power. I am far more concerned about big corporations taking or damaging MY property and the property of my neighbors. Obama has not done much to stop that, but then, neither did BUSH and Romney certainly won't. Romney has specifically said he will undo what little protections Obama has kept or established.
Taxing as "punishment".. that takes the cake of hypocrisy from you. How about we did not get into this debt problem because folks are getting welfare, food stamps and medical care. We GOT INTO this debacle because big business has continued to demand and get tax cuts, special deductions and privilage... and often at the very time they were moving all their assets well off shore. Of course, Romney has done just that.. moved his money off, so why would anyone think he would actually improve things in the US for anyone but his own group of cronies.
