market is up 42% since trump took office. on the same day in president obama s presidency the market was up 45% and when he left office it was up 149%. obama made plenty of mistakes, didn t do everything right on the economy but in terms of big business, he was good for business. take our final 30 seconds and try and convince the audience with regard to the affordable care act obama is a conservative. sure. two things. one, it was aversion of romney care, governor romney s plan in massachusetts. before that a version of a heritage foundation plan. more than that, it was the idea that president obama wanted to do things incrementally. he said when he campaigned, michael, if i was starting from scratch, i d do it differently. since i m not, we re going to do it this way, stick with a market-based plan. part of being a conservative is
practiced conscious capitalism. he recognizes that there s a crisis in american capitalism, that income inequality is an enormous deal. what he did when he was chairman of starbucks is he kept two chairs in the room that were empty for every board meeting. one chair was for the customer, and one chair was for the employees. let me ask you this question. who in a meeting in washington, d.c., has an empty chair looking at the american people? let s look at healthcare. you know, mitt romney has the idea, romney care, barack obama takes it, republicans are for it so the democrats are against it. it s broken. i don t think anyone disagrees. we have to sneak in a break and then everyone here is going to jump in. don t go anywhere. everyone hero jump in. don t go anywhere. there s little rest for a single dad,
