CEOs' Anti-Obama Slams: President Compared To Hitler, Mussolini & More
CEOs' Anti-Obama Slams: President Compared To Hitler, Mussolini & More

At the Aspen Forum this week, Intel CEO Paul Otellini blasted the Obama administration for not understanding "what it takes to create jobs."

"I think this group does not understand what it takes to create jobs," CNET reports the CEO as saying. "And I think they're flummoxed by their experiment in Keynesian economics not working."

Otenelli's remarks thrust him into a growing crowd of chief executives who have publicly doubted or outright slammed the Obama administration's economic policies. As the midterm elections approach, this powerful interest group has ramped up its attacks on the White House. And as they compare the administration to communists or to Hitler, some of America's CEOs are starting to sound more like, well, politicians.

2. So they are deliberately holding back.
FDR was much more hostile to business than Obama is, much more.
FDR broke up the banking monopolies and implemented strict labor standards.

8. Yeah !! That is a good idea
However I have yet to see Obama show any teeth.

I agree with you, I would show some teeth also, but Obama it seems is content to
compromise inside of pushing back and make them come out with any plan of their own

3. But I thought Obama was a corporatist, friend to CEOs. So
can someone explain this disconnect?

5. I wonder how many of these CEO's would put off an expansion for a few months
just so they don't have to hire more workers until after the election.

6. Intel CEO Paul Otellini "what it takes to create jobs."
Neither does Otellini if were talking about jobs here in the US.

Intel has greatly expanded its fabrication facilities outside the US since 2000.
