The White House is in full spin mode trying to convince Americans that President Obama doesn't hate business. The president claims: "it's very hard to find evidence of anything that we've done that is designed to squash business as opposed to promote business." His administration's economists were out in force at the end of last week trying to argue that Obama was actually pro-business. The impression here matters because Americans see how incredibly slow this "recovery" and they intrinsically understand how eliminating incentives will stop growth.
President Obama may hope Americans will forget that he called Wall Street executives "fat cats," bondholders "speculators," and accused doctors who zealously test patients of being "driven from a business mentality." But he has made these attacks too often. Voters can too easily recall him regularly blaming private companies rather than the government for the financial crisis. Indeed, the only blame he gives to the federal government is that there wasn't enough regulation.
Businesses remember the outrageous and factually inaccurate attacks on companies. For instance, Obama pretended that firms and industries are more monopolistic than they are to justify government intervention. And who can forget him lashing out against doctors numerous times accusing them of preferring to amputate a foot rather than "treated [diabetes] as effectively as it could" because they can earn more money (here and here).
The problem comes down to how Obama thinks the market operates. . . .

More evidence that these “elites” think we are stupid.

He doesn’t hate business..he wants you to run it and the government will control it and the money from it. The nice thing...they will pretend like you still own it. Isn’t the new socialism just so great? It all sounds so pretty./s
Central control of the economy is communism.
he lied his way in and now think we are fooled by him no way jose
It does run the American economy, right into the ground.
Looks to me like O’Slammy doesn’t think we should have an economy at all.
The White House is in full spin mode trying to convince Americans that President Obama doesn't hate business.Oh, and he also doesn't hate America, hate (fully) white people, hate Israel, hate Christians, hate Jews...
