WAPO: BUSINESSMEN HATE OBAMA; IMMELT WON'T EVEN DEFEND HIM ANYMORE

FROM EZRA KLEIN, NO LESS!/WAPO:

I’m in Cleveland right now for the Cleveland Clinic’s annual innovation summit. Last night, Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of General Electric and chairman of President Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, delivered the keynote and sat for a Q&A. My notes on his talk:

... Business types really hate Barack Obama. Everybody sort of knows that, but it’s hard to get a sense of it if you’re not in the room listening to them laugh bitterly at questions like, “Does Obama understand the damage regulations are doing to business?”

- In fact, this audience is so down on Obama that Immelt, who you have to assume is one of the more pro-Obama CEOs out there, is not willing to defend him or his policies before this audience. At all. Even a little. His only comment is that people need to roll up their sleeves and help rather than complain.

YOU CAN STICK A FORK IN HIM, CUZ OBAMA IS DONE.
