Michelle and Barack Obama’s Corporate Confusion
North Star Writers Group ^ | March 3, 2008 | Paul Ibrahim

It is no secret that Democrats have long had a love-hate relationship with corporate America. On the one hand, they often emerge from careers in corporate America and usually get political support from it. On the other hand, they can’t seem to win an election without scathing attacks on this vague entity of “corporations,” as if actual corporations literally sit around a gigantic table every week to discuss how to prevent people from enjoying the “audacity of hope.”

Michelle Obama is a perfect example of this schizophrenic relationship between Democrats and corporations. Campaigning for her husband in Ohio, she urged her audience: “Don’t go into corporate America.” She went on to suggest a couple of career choices they can make, including becoming “a nurse,” which could very well mean working for corporate America, but I digress.

Why doesn’t she suggest that they go directly onto the public dole and, by the way, vote straight Democrat for the rest of your life.

LOL!

Let me get this straight. Barack Obama will do everything in his power to prevent valuable corporations from leaving America for other countries. But once he makes sure the corporations are going to stay, he won’t want them to make a profit and will discourage Americans from working for them. But hey, at least those unprofitable, unstaffed headquarters would still be in our good old U.S. of A!

Great article! It’s the best description of the wacky Democrat stance on corporations I’ve ever seen. Obama should be so easy to beat.

I wonder if Michelle has had the “talk” with Oprah as head of her own her megaconglomerate corporation from whence she draws a multi-million dollar salary annually.

Do the Obama family understand the concept of working to support oneself - not being cared for by the government, your neighbors but oneself.

Another form of welfare appears to be getting a government position either by election or knowing someone who will put you up as staff.

Talk about a third world mentality - and all the money it takes us as working people to support not only our own disadvantaged but other nations who expect to be cared for.

Re: Michelle and Barack Obama’s Corporate Confusion

There is not any confusion. Obama and Michelle use a blend Liberal Guilt and Black Panthers souls to have their cake and eat it, too.

And, of course, it is all us White Folks' fault!
