"All the wealth lost under the Obama administration"???? Fuck you and the horse you rode in on, asshole. My wealth was long gone before Obama came along.

Drove right by Staples (cursing Romney as I passed) and went to a locally owned small business.

We have choices where we spend our money.

If I can't get it there, I'll hold my nose and go to Walmart, or order from some online source. We don't have a locally-owned store that sells computer supplies here. I had been buying my printer ink from Staples, but no more. They have nothing there that I can't get elsewhere.

The owner of the one I go to is very good at what he does and has saved me tons of money. Yesterday he advised against spending about $220 on my computer that another so-called expert had told me I needed. He told me exactly what to do and how to do it and did not charge me a penny.

Some of those big name places are just ripping us off.

There is a lot of things they don't have. Most of the people here are the big box store/chain restaurant types, so that's what we are stuck with. I am trying to get out. I hope I'll wind up somewhere better soon.

9. I love Chris but he should let the women say more on his business segments.

The 3 women on the panel today were talked over by Stemberg, Josh Barro and Chris himself. I know Chris had a lot to say but LISTEN to the women more!

13. Now would be a smart moment for the other office supply companies to come out for Obama.

Publicly donate to a Democrat or Planned Parenthood, for instance.
