Mort Zuckerman, a prominent supporter of Obama’s campaign and the editor-in-chief of U.S. News & World Report, told Crowley that he believes Obama’s rhetoric when it comes to the business community runs counter to the kind of confidence the economy needs right now to turn itself around.
“I’m not saying that Washington hasn’t tried to do some good things,” Zuckerman told Crowley. “They’ve also done some things that I think are really, really very, very counter to trying to get this economy growing.
“One of them is not only regulation, but expensive regulation. The other is - and they’ve done something here that affects everybody’s confidence in the attitudes of this administration to the business community and to the economy - they’ve demonized the business world; they’ve blamed everything on the business world. Frankly, I don’t think that’s accurate, but more than that, it’s counterproductive to what this administration wants, which is a much more optimistic and confident business community.”

welecome to the real world...
All Americans (who are not a permanent part of the Welfare State) need a "much more optimistic and confidence business community." Class envy is counterproductive to our entire society, and it runs counter to our core values that we want to live in a nation where people can exercise and enjoy their God-given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
This is not to say we all have to persuade ourselves that Wall Street is perfect when it is not. But villifying -- to the point of no return, practically -- the very system of wealth creation that has made this country great, powerful and, most of all, free is just plain stupid.
This arrogant and anti-intellectual villification of Wall Street is another form -- perhaps an even more pernicious form -- of Obambi's overall Continual Apology Tour ('Cuz Everything About America Stinks).
P.S. When are people going to learn that you can't trust Rats with the economy any more than you can trust them with national security? Is it obvious now that the Rats are simply damn-the-torpedoes Socialists?
