Obama CEO meeting packed with insiders
"Lots of media chatter about how President Obama is meeting today with a large group of CEOs, in order to put a more business-friendly face on his administration (apparently big business bailouts, major R&D funding increases and top-earner tax cuts weren't enough capitulation)."

And a list of Obama's corporate masters...

1. You forgot his decision that forcing us to buy crappy products from the insurance companies
was all the "health care reform" we needed.

Today's meeting probably includes a discussion of what boards he'll get to sit on when his presidency ends and what his compensation will be. Hopefully, selling the country out will pay well - I'd hate to think we were screwed for chump change.

He had another gathering of the CEOs to set that one up too...

That's when anyone with half a brain should have known that actual "Health Care Reform" was dead...
