Despite the poll's findings, from what I can tell, even though this study was disseminated by PRNewswire, it has garnered very little mainstream media attention.

no MSM attention ? i'm shocked

[jersey117]

No wonder the market is tanking.

[PeterFinn]

Myself, I believe that 74% of CEO’s are disastrous for the nation.

[HappyinAZ]

Well those guys better get off their as**es and get out the “troops” for McCain....or they will end up as Government Workers in the re-education camp.

[Winged Hussar]

Only 74%?

I bet the other 26% still believe they can make money by financing subprime mortgages and speculation in flipping houses.

While McCain wouldn't be able to single-handedly fix the financial mess, Obama would single-handedly make it infinitely worse. Increasing the capital gains tax at a time when the financial markets are screaming for more capital is financial suicide.

CEOs clearly understand it. About 45% of the American people understand it.

Unfortunately, unless another 5% of the American people wake up in the next four weeks, we are headed for financial Armageddon.

[wardaddy]

100% of small business owners feel the same way

and we are about to find out.

[stuartcr]

I thought we weren’t supposed to like CEOs, and to never believe what they say??

[Hildy]

Of course that’s one of the reasons...you can trackt he decline of the market to the hour Obama pulled away. It always happens. When Dems go up in the polls the market tanks..but this year not a peep about it. That’s why I think the Dems manipulated this to happen this month. Pray, pray, pray for our once great country.

[MrB]

That’s what I was thinking -

if McCain was ahead by 4 or 5, would the market continue to slide as it is?

[OneWingedShark]

Indeed, if Obama is elected we will probably see MANY, MANY small businesses go under.

[PreciousLiberty]

MSM response: Clearly, 74% of CEOs are RACIST! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

It’s beyond sickening.

[MrB]

They get appointed as CEO because the board of directors thinks they have the experience and knowledge to guide the ship of the corporation.

IE, they know what they’re talking about, or they wouldn’t be there.

[pallis]

In less time than Obama has been running for president, the rest of America will know how big a mistake they’ve made, if they elect this radical. Carter will seem like a losing game of Monopoly compared to how bad things will get under the heal of Obama.

[stuartcr]

All of them?

[edweena]

I think we’ve seen that a great many CEOs either don’t know what is best for their corporations or they don’t care because they have their golden parachutes strapped on. As a group, CEOs don’t have any credibility with me. I’d be more impressed with a survey of small business owners. Does anyone know of one?

[Kackikat]

I believe 75% of CEO’s and OBAMA are bad for the nation, and yes, no wonder the market is afraid..

[bethtopaz]

There’s a discrepancy here - the title and article in the link says it’s Obama that would be disastrous, but the excerpt here says it’s John McCain.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

No. Only 74% of them.

[Red Boots]

In expressing their rejection of Senator Obama, some CEOs who responded to the survey went as far as to say that “some of his programs would bankrupt the country within three years, if implemented.”

All communist/socilaist governments collapse this way.Russia was a rich country, with lots of resources, so it took 80 years to run it into the ground. We are not.Our economy is bankrupt, and our resources have been declared off-limits by the very people who will support this regime. The only bright spot here is that there isn't the money left to run a socialist country on for very long. Hopefully it will be short.
