Reply #30: Obama preserved private health care industry -- according to Rahm ...

[defendandprotect]

who "crowed" that news to business while telling them how "grateful" they should be

to Obama -- including for the "billions in lucrative new contracts" which came from

the stimulus!

All while throwing crumbs to the public --

It is dismaying that so many don't realize this!

In a Thursday interview, White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel argued that rather than recoiling against Obama, business leaders should be grateful for his support on at least a half-dozen counts: his advocacy of greater international trade and education reform open markets despite union skepticism; his rejection of calls from some quarters to nationalize banks during the financial meltdown; the rescue of the automobile industry; the fact that the overhaul of health care preserved the private delivery system; the fact that billions in the stimulus package benefited business with lucrative new contracts, and that financial regulation reform will take away the uncertainty that existed with a broken, pre-crash regulatory apparatus.
