Anti-Business as Usual

[Geee]

American Spectator:

BILL COMES DUE

It was not "business as usual" last week for Democrats in Washington, as members of the Obama Administration and Democrat Senators fanned out across town for meetings with senior business executives and business owners holding summer meetings in the city.
The man who took the biggest beating was White House chief of staff Bill Daley, who met with members of the National Association of Manufacturers and was practically run out of the room by its membership.

"There is a reason that many of these senior executive meetings are held in private," says a senior NAM staffer, who helped organize the Daley speech and Q&A session, which was open to the press. "What you saw there was why."

Daley was roasted for the Obama Administration's zeal in imposing regulations on businesses from virtually every federal agency and Cabinet-level department. Daley, a former business executive himself, was supposed to be the man who was going to fix the Obama Administration's anti-business standing. But Daley, while talking a good game, has failed to rein in the President and his ideologically driven cohorts in the federal agencies.

Daley's speech before NAM was met with polite applause, but when the question and answer period started, all civility went out the door, to the point that Daley ultimately admitted that many of the administration's policies were "indefensible."
