"Businesses are out there drowning in regulations, and this nitwit Obama is out on a bus tour saying that Wall Street is allowed to do anything it wants."

"Businesses have just stopped making investments because the wildcard in planning is the United States government. It is too uncertain, it is too regulatory, it is too anti-business, it's just too crazy. It's made it far too risky for any company to really make plans, let alone make massive investments."

"All regulatory agencies do is provide job security to federal flunkies to make it look like they're doing something."

"Speaking to a farmer concerned about government regulations, Obama told him 'don't believe everything you hear.' These are probably the most profoundly meaningful words  to be associated with Obama's presidency."

"I don't hear one single conservative, Republican, Senator, Congressman, legislator, or business leader advocating that we want dirty air and dirty water. Despite what Obama says, that has nothing to do with the reams of regulation that Washington and his administration are churning out."

"We don't need a debt ceiling as much as we do a ceiling on regulations."
