Now NYT states that corporations think Obama is "anti-business"...

[old mark]

He was "weak" and "showed no emotion" for the last few weeks, but since the "arm twisting" he gave to BP, he is seen as anti-business...link:

Evidently he will be condemned no matter what he does or does not do.

I have given Mr. Obama hell here many times, but I really think he did good work with this disaster and he is just getting started. For a guy who is supposed to be a corporatist, he is doing alright...

Goes to show you can't make everyone happy all the time. Lesson learned. Next time, don't try.

2. Theres no bigger whiners than corporations

Even if Obama gave them 100% of everything they want they would still claim it wasnt enough.

If I were President I would tell them to go f___k themselves.

If a person really wants to keep up with the attacks from the right, they should pay attention to this, not fuxnuts.

6. "anti-business" is a PR propaganda term...

From the Department of "Never let a RW meme pass without comment":

It's important to remind people that "anti-business" is one of those public-relations-firm-tested propaganda words that's used in ways far removed from the actual definition of the word.

As used in politics, being called "anti-business" has nothing to do with actually being against businesses. it's simply an accusation thrown out whenever a politician or other public figure is not kissing the ass/sucking the cock/other-"lips-to-pelvic-anatomy"-pairing-of-your-choice of multimational corporations and their executives with sufficient vigor and with a wide enough smile on his or her face.

in the first place?

9. I see that Fox is now supporting this idea, too...Think the GOP will sweep back

into power in November when they say stuff like this?

I don't.
