The only capitalism the Left approves of is crony capitalism where they get to pick the winners and losers. The CEOs of these outfits are no better than their leftist benefactors.
Bill Clinton used to brag about how many Fortune 500 CEOs supported him.
Yeah but for me to go look for a list to see if my link is included or excluded before each post I make is more time consuming when all I have to do is treat all links as one and post the link to the website. It also helps acknowledge FreeRepublic to not only the website owners but also the public in general resulting in increased readers on FreeRepublic.
I was referring to Savage's site and I posted Savage's Site not a blog.
Hell, Savages’s stuff isn’t even unique. He said he took the list from a Brasilian paper and it just has public bios of the CEOs. There has to be some sort of transcendence pimping going on with that many layers of pimpage.
Immelt has been the Chair of the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness since January.
HOORAY Michael Savage! Thanks for posting.
Unique or not I think it’s always good to give credit where credit is due. And I’m certainly not a Michael Savage fan. But if you would like, I’ll go find the source for you in Portuguese.
Not you, the original pimp.. er, poster of the thread.
Pimpalooza!

Glad to see you on the thread. See reply 33. It might interest you.
thanks
Thanks for the heads up. This is in conflict with the AP report. Still researching ...
“the governments of Brazil and the United States will sign ten documents”
Obama is not traveling with a basket of ready-made accomplishments or major agreements to feature during the trip. Indeed, when it comes to trade, he embarks empty-handed.
Pending free-trade agreements with Colombia and Panama remain unfinished, provoking demands from the U.S. business sector and Republican lawmakers that he complete the deals.
Obama also is unlikely to deliver on key Brazilian issues, including changes to tariffs on Brazilian ethanol fuel and the country’s desire to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
Dilma and Obama are expected to sign cooperation agreements on biofuels, among other items such as education and economic security. The US Embassy said that one of the priorities of the trip was to discuss energy cooperation and global finance. Brazil is becoming a net exporter of Petroleum due to a number of deep water oil finds off the coast of Rio and Espirito Santo states. Moreover, Brazil’s highly regulated banks were relatively immune from the 2008 financial blowout, casting a spotlight on the sector names like Itau Unibanco, Bradesco and the big Brazilian subsidiaryof Spanish bank Santander.

After lunch, Obama and Dilma will participate in the VI US-Brazil CEO Forum happening in Brasilia on Saturday. There, Obama will meet with 10 Brazilian CEOs and 8 American CEOs. Company participants were not provided by the government at this time.

The following officials are traveling with Obama.
Thomas Donilon, National Security Advisor
Timothy Geithner, US Treasury Secretary
Lisa Jackson, Environmental Protection Agency
Gary Locke, States’s Secretary of Commerce
Ron Kirk, Foreign Trade Representatitve
William Daley, White House Chief of Staff
Michael Froman, National Economic Council
Fred Hochberg, Pres, Export-Import Bank of the US
Touting this as nothing more than a vacation is just plain wrong.
Brazil, US sign agreement for World Cup, Olympics

An agreement signed by the two nations says that the United States will share its know-how in organizing the two events. The United States hosted the World Cup in 1994 and the Olympic Games in 2000.
