Funny that the president says he is for self-reliance when he seems to be doing everything in his power to hinder it.  If he cared, he would not have crippled the coal industry, and he would have jumped immediately on the pipe line, not to mention cut taxes on small businesses so they could expand and hire more workers. Most of all he would not have brought about an expensive healthcare system that further cripples both business and some individuals.  As I have always believed, "Actions speak much louder than words," and this president's words definitely DO NOT line up with his actions.
