"Officially Screwed: Small Business Owner"

Is Obama fighting for or against middle-class voters in the Old Dominion?

Tami Hurley stood beside Union Mill Road waving a sign in the hot mid-summer sun Saturday afternoon, awaiting President Obama's arrival at Centreville High School. She was not alone. The Fairfax County businesswoman was one of more than 200 protesters who responded to the announcement of an "emergency rally" sent out by the Northern Virginia Tea Party. On her American flag T-shirt, Hurley displayed a pin that concisely summarized her situation in the Obama era: "Officially Screwed: Small Business Owner." She explained that her family runs a heating and air-conditioning business that employs 14 people, a business that the Democrat's administration seems determined to destroy.

"They're going to increase all of our prices," Hurley said, explaining that regulations enacted recently by the Environmental Protection Agency mandated a 40 percent decrease in the manufacture of R22, a refrigerant commonly used in air-conditioning systems. "Our price doubled in January, and we have to pass that along to our customers."
