BusinessWeek, one of the leading business publications on the market, has come out with a piece that blatantly panders to the Obama crowd called "Is Barack Obama Good for Business?". Look at the source breakdown for the article:
2 quotes from Democratic Consultants (including the subtitle)
0 quotes from Republican Consultants1 Example of a CEO who likes Obama and corresponds with him regularly
0 Examples of CEOs who disagree with Obama or even think Clinton is better1 Quote from the head of a Chamber of Commerce about Obama’s character
0 Quotes from anyone about the damaging effects of Obama’s liberal policies in Illinois
The piece is riddled with regurgated talking points about "tax cuts for the rich" and rosy character quotes. Disappointing to say the least. For more detailed analysis article including the liberal muckracking background of the author, click here.

February 18, 2008 - 15:22 ET by Mark_for_SenateStandard operating procedure for practically every publication today. All are a complete waste of time and money for anyone seeking knowledge.
To know and not do, is to not yet know
Obviously, BusinessWeek is
February 18, 2008 - 15:38 ET by R D HelmObviously, BusinessWeek is not aware of Obama's support for "comparative worth" legislation.
An economy killer if there ever was one.
And when are these idiots going to learn that "taxing the rich" only ends up hosing the poor in the end. Unless, of course, this is what the lefties want to see happen. Hmmm.
Che Obama
February 18, 2008 - 15:45 ET by CTThe MSM is determined to select Che Obama for the Peoples Republic of the United States, that's why they selected Juan McCain for the New Republican Party.

Obama good for business if...
February 18, 2008 - 17:11 ET by szampObama is good for your business only if your biggest client is the government. Everybody else will just get taxed to death. At the end , we will look more like those those european countries where it makes no sense to own a business and everybody does things under the table to avoid taxes. According to his speech, he will create construction jobs by rebuilding infrastructure and taxing the rich. That's more like moving jobs from one place to another, not creating jobs. What happens after construction is over? What if I don't have anything to do with construction or government? I don't think business will be good for me.
There is only one way Obama could be good for business...

Otherwise, Obama will be far far worse than Carter was.
The day that "politician" became a career choice is the day we started losing the Republic. Let's get it back! Alan Keyes '08.
Hussein Obama
February 18, 2008 - 18:30 ET by ScrapironWhen will it soak in that Obama is not black but an Arab. The only economies he'll help is those controlled by radical Islam. Hasn't his proposals to give close to a trillion U.S. tax dollars to Islam, minus what the U.N. steals from it, penetrated the brainwashed skulls of the liberal world?
Neither Hillary Clinton or
February 18, 2008 - 21:05 ET by johnbarryNeither Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama is good for business. Both are Socialists on the European model. More state involvement, more bureaucracy, more quangos, higher taxes on the middle class. Businessmen tempted by the mellifluous tones of Obama or promises of Clinton should observe the results of Socialist policies in France or Germany. The policy platform of the Democrats is similar to that of the French, German and Swedish Socialists. Any businessman- big or small- voting for Obama or Clinton is like a turkey voting for Christmas.
