Since when does Obamunism like capitalists and capitalism??He's looking for the best way to crash and burn the USA so that he can establish a dictatorship.
By interviewing the people who know what needs to be done, he can do the opposite, thereby furthering his own ambition and power.
I'm astounded that smart people don't realize this.

Saying that he has the answer to a crisis, does not make it so. Finding business leaders willing to be his shills--when he is President of the United States--does not add to his credibility.
The fact is that Obama has embraced the fallacies of Fabian Socialism--the Keynesian approach to any business downturn--which destroy the resources of the affluent, while creating the illusion of problem solving. Since the destruction of assets is real, problems are only made worse in the long run.
As a stab at trying to address the fallacies being promoted, the February feature at my Conservative Web Site deals with The Function Of Money--A Medium Of Exchange. I hope that some will find it enlightening and useful.

The questions most businesses and investors have are which direction is Obama going to take us all and have we seen the bottom of the hole yet. It looks like the CEO of Kodak got the answers to those question and laid people off.
Anyone here could have told these leaders what to expect with Obama but it's great that they now have heard it firsthand.

Sober, maybe. But O was all coked up after Alec and flew some nose candy for him in from the Left Coast.

By interviewing the people who know what needs to be done, he can do the opposite There are a number of kid's games where the winning strategy is based on this sort of thinking -- see what you're opponent is trying to accomplish and just make sure that they can't achieve that goal. Secondarily, see if you can accomplish your own goal.

Zero (looking at teleprompter): “We want to spread your wealth around. It’s good for everyone.”
Kodak rep: “But there’s no more wealth to spread around.”
Zero (looking at [suddenly defective] teleprompter): “I won. I’m going to trump you on that. So whack me over the head now with a baby before I compromise.”

Xerox? Google? How do they impact the economy and how will creating “green jobs” impact them? I guess people will be Googling “green jobs” to find out what they are LOL
To: Sammy67
Obama said of the chief executive officers attending the meeting. "They are looking for action from Washington, bold and swift." If Obama were giving me $Billions, I'd want "bold and swift" action as well.
Since it's Americans that will be paying the $Trillions, we're not as thrilled with the whole "bold and swift" thing.

Since when does Obamunism like capitalists and capitalism?? Maybe since the government is buying up controlling interest, or at least buying some strong say so in how they are run, in these industries, and banks.

I wonder how many of those “business leaders” actually started their businesses?
I’m guessing none.
They should be called “administrators.”
