The Obama administration cares little about small businesses beyond the occasional photo op, said Patty Briguglio, president of MMI PR in Cary, N.C., in an appearance on Fox Business Network June 29.

"They don't even know we exist, there's no place for us at the table," she said of small business and the White House. "They don't care a thing and they don't realize that we're the answer, we're the solution."

Briguglio said uncertainty over taxes, healthcare and the debt ceiling has led small businesses to freeze hiring and investment.

"Before I'm going to hire somebody I've got to know what's going to happen," she said.
