Suddenly, business leaders fear Obama
Hot Air ^ | May 14, 2009 | ED MORRISSEY

Barack Obama won an extraordinary amount of support from the business world in his presidential campaign, helping to tamp down accusations of redistributionist aims, at least until Joe the Plumber caught Obama off-guard. They campaigned for him, raised money to get him elected, and celebrated when Obama won. Now they’re in a much less celebratory mood after seeing him in action, the AP reports (via The Corner):

What were any of his supporters thinking, much less the business community? He is their sworn enemy.

Morons.

Every day I wonder if and/or WHEN someone in the business world with some real guts is going to stand up and say NO to this madman and his cohorts. They’ve undermined the contract laws of business without narry a holler of opposition.

I want to see more of the names of these idiots.

Eat your livers, you bastards.

You could have easily found out what was in store for you,
but you had “strong feelings”,
and voted in a Marxist/Fascist.
I hope the UAW jerks are happy with ther non-jobs now.

God bless Joe the Plumber.

Has he recovered from the vicious media thrashing he received?

Interesting to compare his treatment to that of Baraq’s illegal immigrant auntie.

Why would JTP need to recover? He seems a decent, honest man. How could the evil that is the MSM harm an honest man?

Perhaps you’re correct, I just wondered.
In the end we knew more about JTP’s bio than we did Baraq’s.

Business schools have become almost as corrupted as Law schools. Filled with Leftist/Communist Do-Nothings.

Businessmen supporting a socialist/communist? Where did they go to school?

No sympathy for them. Democrats are anti-business. They’ve been that way my entire life and become increasingly moreso every time I wake up in the morning. Anyone too dumb to realize that shouldn’t be running a business anyway.

These maroons have been awarded the Captain Louis Renault Award:

Obama’s attacks on contract law undermine the entire foundation of the private sector, enabled by the bailouts initially hailed by the same people now worried about the White House’s approach to business. On both counts, the Captain Louis Renault award goes to those corporate leaders shocked, shocked! by Barack Obama’s hostility towards the business community. What part of “community organizer” didn’t you guys understand?

I'd be feeling a sense of schadenfreude right now if the same actions weren't damaging the overall economy so much and not just the buffoons who supported the Community Organizer In Chief.

You should be careful.

Those union workers that are losing their jobs are going to be hired by the federal government.

No doubt,some of them will be wearing shiny black boots....looking for ‘trouble’ makers.

You reap what you sow, idiots.

A Pyrrhic victory, to be sure.

But the Obama voters have seen more gangsta movies than you have, and they shoot more wuz-up cuz cool than you do. They hold their guns sideways and snap them forward while pulling the trigger - I think that makes their bullets go faster than yours do.

The new trend is upside down (I hope they try turning them 180 degrees horizontally instead of vertically next time they're looking for something creative, but this is a start:

Do you really think your shiny black guns are ready to face their strike-a-pose tactics?
