Ten doesn't realize that he can thank Obama for his job. If the global economic system had collapsed, as it was about to, we'd ALL be eating government cheese.

The majority of businesses would have closed up, with no credit availability. Those that didn't would have no customers. No trucks would roll. No supermarkets would be restocked.
