Obama IS a job killer with fewer people working today than when he took office, at least according to his department of labor..Climate change? Who cares? Alternative energy is becoming cost effective, so it being good for the environment is bonus..Making labor more expensive is punitive for small business is simple logic. There is no magic flying unicorn spewing money out of it’s posterior.
That current climate change is man-made has been established as fact for decades. Check http://climate.nasa.gov/causes if you truly care about the evidence. Mininum wage hikes have never caused measurable layoffs (to be true, that would assume that most businesses hire more workers than they need, which is absurd). As a bonus, the increasing purchasing power of the poorest boosts local economies measurably, since the problem with our economy is lack of demand, not lack of money in the pockets of the rich.
Unfortunately, Obama has the biggest lie of all in his hands. His latest job killer on CO2 will do nothing to clean up anything. It changes global CO2 by less than half a thousandth of a percent.
It’s nice to put up strawmen to knock down, but the truth is almost as bad. President Obama’s policies have prevented job growth; Global Warming science is shaky and nowhere near as “settled” as the President claims; and a minimum wage job hike will harm small businesses (as well as the employment prospects of the young and the poor).

Oh, they got dozens of stacks for that!! Lots of effluent, toxic, and volatile, but no real substance.
