Ninety-eight percent of all American companies have fewer than 100 employees. Over half of all Americans work for a small business.

Election night happens, suddenly I'm talking to Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson and trying to figure out whether the world's going to fly apart, and Michelle is trying to figure out where the girls are going to go to school.
