In the months leading up to the 2012 presidential election, Silicon Valley was squarely in President Obama's corner.
Google's executive chairman coached Obama's campaign team; executives from Craigslist, Napster, and Linkedin helped him fundraise; and when the dust settled, Obama had won nine counties in the liberal and tech-heavy Bay Area, scoring 84 percent of the vote in San Francisco. But a little over a year later, following explosive allegations from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden that the government is exploiting tech companies to spy on Americans, some members of Silicon Valley are taking a new perspective: "F--- these guys."

Maybe they should Google the word “kulak.” Then go look in the mirror.
Big deal. He will never face another election.
Like choosing your football team as the team with a 20 point lead in the last two minutes of the game.
As Hillary says, “What difference does it make?”
“What goes around comes around”
“Round and round”
We knew that from the beginning . . .
Actually I’m going to blame both Bush’s.
There are a number excellent CEO’s who are Republicans who stopped backing them because they stopped backing technology.
Andy Grove was a great Republican and anti-communist.
Craig Barrett was a not so great CEO but a Republican.
Paul Ortellini was a great CEO and Republican.
They all got tired of the GOP ignoring technology and just showing up whenever they needed $$$.
nice reference!
BS I say,,, they collude with the NSA and now want some distance..
advertise me to that
SV Ping, please?
They’re all running back to Hillary.
Because she’s going to forgive them for dumping her.
Bwahahah…
I alwasys thought that Republican businessmen wanted to be ignored by government....
So the super intelligent brainiacs finally got some sense into their heads.
These wealthy Silicon Valley Obama supporters are like the cartoon woman who thought she was one of the people getting free health insurance because ObamaCare was forcing others to pay for it.
She was happy with ObamaCare until she found out that she was one of the people paying to give others free insurance.
These Silicon Valley elite were happy to support Obama when he was screwing other people. Now they find out that he was screwing them too they aren’t so happy.
None of them seem to have a problem with Obama’s vileness, his lack of fairness and his willingness to use and screw people to further his own agenda.
They just have a problem whan they are the ones being used and screwed.
Sort of like Obama’s Hollywood celebrity supporters.....
What can ya expect from sociopolitical operatives? How many are foreign? Russian? Or worse, from China? Just sayin’.
Sure they turn on him after they have elected him and the damage is done.
Lots of people know Obama is a democrat... and that’s gonna stick.
Normally you would think so.
Bob Noyce, one of Intel’s founders and a brilliant mind helped found SemiTech back in the ‘80s.
SemiTech was a gov funded startup designed to bring semi technology back to the USA and share it with all USA companies.
This is the reason the USA leads in semiconductor R&D and not Japan, Taiwan or China.
Setting up SemiTech is also what killed him at 52.
A great light went out that day in ‘90
They all want to take it up the a__; yet, they don’t want to take it up the a__. Liberalism...
Their just going to back Hillary. Who cares.
DING Ding ding....we have a winner....
“”I GUESS BLAMING BUSH ISN’T GONNA WORK WITH THE GOOGLE CROWD.””
