Anti-Business Obama Puts Another CEO In Charge of America
In a desperate bid to prove he worships Wall Street enough to be allowed to remain president, Barack Obama has appointed General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt to the new White House group that will decide if CEOs are being treated well enough. (Obama is also shutting down the economic recovery panel led by Paul Volcker.) It's the latest move for a president who isextremelyworried that some liberal on the Internet or all the voters who supported him in 2008 might think he's some kind of commie softy who doesn't know his place, which is to serve the nation's biggest corporations with no questions asked. Obama went to the important "net roots" blogThe Wall Street Journalearlier this week to assure his masters that the White House would aggressively target environmental laws and other potential problems for the American mega-businesses still doing some operations in America. And earlier this month, Obama picked a new White House chief of staff that better reflects his desire to be a better servant to Wall Street: JPMorgan Chase executive William Daley.

This is because of "government ethics rules." [ Bloomberg ]
Meanwhile, legal arrangements are being made in the White House and in Congress so that all the bankrupt states can officially go bankrupt and screw both their creditors and their retired public workers. [ New York Times ]
You see, this just proves Obama is a socialist. He's putting CEOs in charge of the government so when the government takes over the corporations the transition will be easier because the same people will still be in charge.
