Damn that Obama.
Wal Mart recently opened up a "Neighborhood Grocery" in our home town. This in the middle of the recession. At first the majority of us were against it, myself included. We thought it would be horrible for our town.... But in the end it created a lot of new jobs, and helped to put tax dollars back into our city pockets - both of which were badly needed due to local economics. (My local home town here grew a lot between 2001 - 2008, and when the recession hit it hit us hard) At the same time, we got a place to shop with lower prices.
Saw what you want about Walmart - it is what it is - but now my wife doesn't need to two towns over to go to WalMart (she tells me Walmart does in fact have the best prices) and we get to spend our money here in town, which is moderately important to us.
