Corporate executives don’t trust President Obama. Fareed Zakaria counts the ways why:
Most of the business leaders I spoke to had voted for Barack Obama. They still admire him. Those who had met him thought he was unusually smart. But all think he is, at his core, anti-business. When I asked for specifics, they pointed to the fact that Obama has no business executives in his Cabinet, that he rarely consults with CEOs (except for photo ops), that he has almost no private-sector experience, that he's made clear he thinks government and nonprofit work are superior to the private sector. It all added up to a profound sense of distrust.
Okay, okay, we get it! . . . . While we're on the topic, the White House’s abuse of Chrysler’s secured-debt holders was no confidence-builder, either. Neither was this. And don't forget that “fat cat bankers” crack. That stung! . . . .Come to think of it, is there a profit-making activity the President actually approves of? There must be. . . . . Wait, who makes TelePrompters? . . .
