By the way, I wanted to go back to the original (and false) assertion that CEOs feel under siege here. Obama is a corporatist. Plain and simple and one of the things I really don't like about him. But you know what? CEOs of big companies *should* feel under siege. They've driven the economy into the ground. They've extracted massive amounts of wealth out of an economy that they didn't provide much back in to, they've widened the wealth gap in the country massively, outsourced huge amounts of jobs and destroyed a large part of the labor sector that formerly constituted the middle class. Fuck them. I love business. I've started a couple and am working on a new one as we speak. I'm an entrepreneur and a capitalist. I've failed and succeeded in business, been burned and rewarded and I believe in initiative, hard work and a level playing field. Big business doesn't stand for any of that. They are parasites on the engine of the American economy and are anti-competitive. They are models for greed, sinecure, lack of respect for their community and the evil of failing upward. If 80% of the American populace had been elected President and wasn't beholden to big business the way that all major politicians are, those corporate fascists would be in the stocks already.
