Don’t laugh too hard, there are liberals who say Obama is pro-business.

But he is: too big to fail codified into law; first-to-file patent law; expansion upon expansion of copyright in the interest not of actual authors and artists, but of publishers; bailouts; loan guarantees; . . .

Pro-business isn't the same as pro-market. (Read Luigi Zingales's A Capitalism for the People -- Zignales, whom Sarah Palin quoted approvingly in America by Heart even before he wrote his own book popularizing his ideas, makes a sharp distinction between pro-market and pro-business on the basis of seeing crony capitalism in all its inglory in his native Italy.)
