After its latest interview with the president, Business Week has produced a cover story with this online headline: ?Obama Tells BW He?s Not Antibusiness.?
Of course, Mr. Obama sends the opposite message when he ignores the negative impact of government economic intervention by making statements like this one:
So far my only tax policy has been to cut taxes for 95% of working people. I haven’t signed a bill that’s raised taxes yet. To the extent that we have put in place policies, they’ve all been directed at helping businesses. A number of those who think we’re antibusiness seem to forget that it was just three or four months ago when, at great political expense, we yanked them out of the fire. And they still?at least if they’re in the financial sector?are enjoying a whole bunch of government guarantees that are propping up their business models. So it’s hard for me not to be a little skeptical when I hear that somehow we’ve been antibusiness.
