And judged by the same or even lower standards.

Let's see ... Government, $3 trillion budget. Private business, far less than $1 trillion.

Government, constitutionally required to provide due process. Private business, just required not to discriminate.

Government, ideologically existent for the purpose of providing for the important part of the common welfare. Private business, required by regulation to abide by certain standards as it serves people for the business of attracting business.

Obama, super-CEO? Nah.

Russia can't be measured by a common yardstick. Let's not assume that private business and government should be.

Intellectual brownie points to the first person to catch the Fyodor alluded to.
