26. How could you possibly believe that the business folks are going
to pay any attention at all to Obama? What kind of pressure is he able to bring to bear that is even the slightest bit credible, in face of his unparalleled ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

Is he going to appeal to their patriotism? Get real. Corporations have no nation, no matter what the right wingers on the Supreme Court claim. Their loyalty is to money, first, last and always. What more can Obama give them to make them cooperate?

Hey, maybe he can let that consumer protection thing go away. Or the EPA. Or anything else they want.

And they still won't raise a finger to help him, or the country, or the workers.

Supposedly Obama doesn't really care if he is another Democratic one-term President.

I guess he won't be surprised, then.
