We'll small businesses have been sitting on the fence waiting for some economic certainty after the election.

To begin hiring and -- -- investing Clint Greenleaf CEO the -- book group says hiring for him.

Friends and I live.

On who is elected he joins me now from Austin is that true entirely defensive very -- higher not -- Well it entirely for the big growth positions and if I need to replace somebody -- higher now that are really wanna grow the business to make a big leap -- investment.

I really wanted to jump in and -- -- my money out there of the fear that -- -- have new regulations new taxes and just burden me further on that.

So wait so what you're saying is it -- say if President Obama is reelected you you Walt higher is that what -- timing.

If President Obama is reelected and I still have the uncertainty of what the economy's gonna deal -- the regulations are going to be.

Until I know that I don't -- jump -- invest a whole bunch of new money in the new people until I know what that rises and look a lot more like that's right.

Okay fair -- other side what -- but governor Romney with.

If governor Romney wins -- gonna feel comfortable that we're gonna have a chance for growth not to be clear I think we're gonna accelerate a lot of the sour medicine we're gonna have to take no matter what happens.

There's a good duping horizon coming up we've got the fiscal cliff we've seen a lot of issues that come -- But I feel like a longterm vision for the country's going to be a lot better for growth.

Annual and invest more money now that I would be later on.

You know it seems like many businesses small and large kind of have the same issues of anxiety.

On this Election Day moving forward -- mainly it's taxes and then you got the issue of health care whether or not that stays or goes and obviously.

Regulation at what do you think business owners are going to be -- with when they go to the polls today.

Well luckily every business owner has the different I you know -- -- number one issue mean for me it's taxes a lot of people their social issues but.

Business owners in general I think are looking for certainty and some kind of clarity.

I'll will get a dose of this once we get the election out of the way and it's been a big step force but how we can't -- lame duck session really handles a fiscal cliff.

Is going to be very interesting how they gonna handle it by the constant bickering we've seen so much where they finally -- recognize it's time -- kind of buckle down.

And take take the issue by the horns and really solve -- force.

You know things that big surprise many in the business community was the endorsement of President Obama backed by Michael Bloomberg the mayor of New York City himself a billionaire several times over -- meeting he seems to be somebody that's behind the president did his other son.

Business support out there for President Obama.

Oh without question I think people reach a certain level -- mean that the actual true 1% -- one for senators.

Seemed a bit heavily weight that themselves towards President Obama exiting at that point it doesn't really matter what the taxes do.

But for those of us kind of in that smaller segment of an actual job creators -- when sitting -- the mayor does that -- job creation.

I would say that for those of us create jobs we tenable from -- -- -- mr.

Romney right now.

Okay okay sit governor Romney -- -- you say you're gonna hire Paulson.

That's my plan that's right okay house and a oh well I that I get a job actually the posting is created a little posted that tomorrow morning it's if governor Romney once a based based on election only -- out today are entitled the Harry anyway I noticed your your Smart guy and this is -- -- country is -- -- -- Could greatly -- thank you very much.
