“A legendary Georgia businessman recently called the Obama administration ``the single biggest impediment to job growth.'' That same man, Mr. Bernie Marcus, also says the business that he founded would have never succeeded if he were trying to start it today. Home Depot, his Georgia-based company, currently has more than 2,200 stores all across the United States.
