George W Bush was supposed to have said: “The problem with the French is they don’t have a word for entrepreneur.” Unfortunately he never said it (though he really should have). Today’s Washington is also ambivalent about the French word. In a bitterly gridlocked town, every politician still pays lip service to small businesses. Yet by turning a blind eye to the needs of struggling entrepreneurs, the town is conniving in their declining fortunes. President Barack Obama would help his embattled presidency and the US economy if he embraced the cause of America’s entrepreneurs.
美国前总统小布什(George W Bush)本应说过这样的话：“法国人的问题是他们没有与创业者(entrepreneur)对应的词。”可惜他从没这样说过（尽管他确实应该这样说）。如今，华盛顿对这个法语单词也没有把握。在这个严重瘫痪的城市，所有的政治家对于小企业仍然口惠而实不至。然而这个城市无视艰难挣扎的创业者的需要，任由他们的财富不断缩水。如果巴拉克•奥巴马(Barack Obama)支持美国创业者的事业的话，这将有利于他处境艰难的总统任期和美国manbetx20客户端下载 。
