Steve Jobs says Obama Administration has Anti-Business climate

Anti-business is a term fat cats use when they are not allowed to rape the economy, the environment and private citizens for more profit.

Simply put, if men like Steve Jobs are saying you're "anti-business" then you are probably doing something right.

 

He's great at making and marketing consumer electronic products, don't mean he's an expert on macro-economic policy, regulations, legislation and a plethra of other topics (like, for example, cancer treatment (too soon?)). He's never had deal with things like democratic election, runnign social security and medicare, and rounding up votes in the Congress.

Steve Jobs is worth listening to on these topics, and the Administration evidentally met with him and lent him their ears. It doesn't mean that they should run everything according to the Steve Jobs script, though. If that pisses Steve Jobs off (like a bunch of other things apparently do), so be it.


Kevin Garnett is also great at what he does, among the very best in the world. Doesn't mean Obama, or even David Stern and Billy Hunter, should follow Garnett's every advice.

Also, there are plenty of liberals who disagree with Obama: some like Jobs say he's too anti-business, some say he's too much of a creature of the "Wall Street" type. Nature of the beast.

 

Well, Jobs had outsourced the actual "making" of their i-stuff already even before Obama. It's not like Obama can make Apple layoff even
more from the US, since Apple-USA is as bare as a company can be while still having their head office here.

 

Ok, he innovated off of others inventions - he stole///eerrrr was inspired by others...

I think he was one of the best salesman of all time, and had a very good vision.....just don't believe the inventor hype, he was not that, never was...

He did have a knack for seeing how other peoples inventions could be utilized in main stream society though, and knew how to drive teams to get to that point.

The US should just annex Apple and be done with it.

And that's from a liberal.

 

Hey Doc! We couldn't get an answer out of the OP when Jobs said Obama should be re-elected. So I'll ask you; should we listen to that too?

 

you shouldn't

 

Sure it's easier to build a factory in China, but then the air quality over there is like this:



Some of the kind of factorys they allow you to build over there probably aren't the kind we want here. I am all for getting rid of excessive regulation, but using China as a model of where we want to go is probably not a great idea if you think about it.

We don't really want to turn the USA into a Third World country just to be "business friendly."

 

Now you are qualifying everything. First you post only a portion of Jobs position on Obama. Then, when you point out the Jobs supported Obama and wanted him to be elected President, you seem to say "yeah, well he is a liberal guy."...... You cannot have it both ways. If he was a great mind, and we should listen to him, then we should also listen to him on his opinion of Obama as a President.

Look, I do not think that Obama is pro-growth through the private sector, like Clinton was.... but you are essentially only providing a half truth. I do not know if this is because of Warren Buffetts position... or why, but you lost credibility.

 

Thanks for the advice, but coming from the likes of you, I think I'll pass.

 

then why did you ask?

 

yeah, i mean obama sure stopped all those iphones and ipads with his anti business ****

did you see what he did to ford also

lord have mercy at the stupidity

Well played. I lol'ed.

 

Don't forget how he killed GM and Chrysler.

 

I think the point is that a liberal would not usually criticize a Dem. president for being too anti-business. It would be like a libertarian saying the administration wasn't pushing through enough regulations. There is nothing unusual in a liberal endorsing a Dem. president. Do you see the difference now?

 

We criticize the president all the time. That's the difference between democrats and republicans. We don't have this weird 11th commandment of not speaking ill of our own kind.

 

Liberals are quite used to voicing their disagreement with each other and with a Democratic President, it's nothing new. Cornel West did it too. Dissent and disagreement are allowed and welcome among us. Perhaps a different story among you people (where you are kind of cast out if you dissent from the orthodoxy-- see how Herman Cain has to walk back his "******head=insensitive" comment).

 

Are you under the impression that Conservatives/Libertarians don't speak ill of president Bush's economic policies (bailouts)?

 

Only after they got called on it for criticizing Obama for the same policies. At the time there was very little criticism for Bush of anything by the conservatives.
