the new meme....Obama is anti-business

[spanone]

this has been pushed all am on m$nbc and i would guess the other networks

as eugene robinson said ' if Obama cured world hunger, they would accuse him of promoting obesity'

1. Not new.... CNBC has been saying that for 2 years

[spanone]

2. yes new

5. I'm not disagreeing that they're trying to use the meme... I'm just saying it isn't new

I've been reading and hearing since Obama became president that he is "anti-business" on sites like CNBC and bloomberg.com.

What do you think all the "socialist" fervor has been about?

3. Maybe DU doomer capitalism foes will actually like him then.......NT

4. Oh no! If this gets out he's going to lose votes he never had.

6. That was the first thing I heard on TV this morning, and that's what I thought as well.

Change the focus. Memo goes out overnight to all operatives...Obama bad for business. Rinse, repeat...

And the M$M goes right along with it, just like they've been told to by their corporate owners.

But no, we don't need a Fairness Doctrine. We don't need laws to ensure news is reported honestly, and commentary is clearly labeled as such. I would say 90% of what is presented to us today as news is really commentary.

Fuck. The. M$M. (Start with Chuck Todd and David Gregory. Please!)

7. It's always something with the GOBP and the corporate whore media.

Both can FOAD for all I care.

8. I don't understand, I have read over and over again

that our President is a butt kissing corporate stooge/puppet (or a corporatist, take your pick).

Seems someone or both are mistaken in their interpretations of our President.


My feeling is both were/are wrong. The President isn't looking to destroy all corporations. However he is also not going to allow big business to make $$$$ by hurting the American people.

9. New?

:shrug:

Does the name "Joe the Plumber" ring a bell? The RW exalted him from on high because he played into their fears of Obama being anti-business.

10. The public does not agree. CNN's own poll on the escrow account showed the public approved of it by

82%.

11. Started with the NY Times piece this morning and is spreading like wildfire.

12. Wait, I thought he was a corporate sell-out...

I don't know who to believe anymore :shrug:

13. In the long run

probably more pro-business then anyone since Eisenhower.
