Plan B For Business Groups: Going negative (ObamaCare's Business Partners Looking for Nearest Exit?)
Politico ^ | 08.12.2009 | CHRIS FRATES

The town hall brawls over health care reform are already driving down public support for the effort – but that’s not the worst of the danger to the White House.

They could also give cover to some big business players, who’ve shied away from challenging the White House, to turn their guns on the reform agenda and kill it — just like they did more than a decade ago.

Agreed. Resist! Call, fax and get everyone to a townhall and sound off.

I’m going to use this article to write a letter to the Editor of our local daily paper...

If Americans don’t get frustrated, if they know someone IS listening, even if it’s not the Pols in DC, they’ll turn out.

I want the name of the Republican lobbist urging these companies not to go nuclear.

Climate legislation (cap’n trade CO2/Carbon Credits) must be stopped also. Sen. Lugar and Obama played a role in establishing the Chicago Carbon Futures Exchange in support of Gores’ agenda. They hope the world trading of carbon credits will become centerd at Chicago instead of a similar exchange in London. Obamas’ role with the exchanges founding is little known.

AHIP, Chamber, NAHU and many others are offering some amazing compromises that could actually help. Those who know and have the power to actually fix things are united in offering workable, no cost solutions.

What is needed is national leadership to help set standards and move things forward.

Sadly, this is NOT forthcoming from this White House. Name calling, intimidation and stupidly staged events to push wealth re-distribution schemes is not leadership.

Judging from his approach to the Presidency, one can assume the worst. I honestly believe Obama sees no limit to his potential to take global power and control.

Impossible to believe that in this country, with the amazing talent we have, there isn't a single individual that will step forward & unite these interests. I think the country (the sane parts of the country) would welcome the effort.

Hopefully, if stress cracks are developing in the Obama machine, such a person (assuming there IS such a person) will be willing to take the risk. The rewards could conceivably put him/her into the history books.

It would join the corrupt CME, CBOE (what crooks) and the CBOT. Why are all these exchanges in Chicago? Wonder where the 2008 market crash was manipulated?
