Obama says CEOs should quit complaining

President Barack Obama said corporate America has done well under his economic policies, telling the Economist magazine that chief executive officers should stop complaining about regulations and show greater social responsibility.
"If you look at what's happened over the last four or five years, the folks who don't have a right to complain are the folks at the top," Obama said in an interview conducted last week and posted on the magazine's website late on Saturday.
"I would take the complaints of the corporate community with a grain of salt," Obama said, arguing that his policies have been friendly to business. "They always complain about regulation. That's their job."
Obama has increasingly promoted populist economic measures such as raising the minimum wage to motivate Democratic voters ahead of critical November congressional elections, in which his Democrats face the prospect of losing control of the Senate.
"Oftentimes, you'll hear some hedge-fund manager say, 'Oh, he's just trying to stir class resentment'. No. Feel free to keep your house in the Hamptons and your corporate jet, etcetera. I'm not concerned about how you're living," Obama said.
"I am concerned about making sure that we have a system in which the ordinary person who is working hard and is being responsible can get ahead," he said.
Obama had a frosty relationship with business in his first term, famously telling an interviewer: "I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street."

quote:Well, Mr. Obama, fat cat bankers are about the only people who have benefited from your policies. As the stock market reaches the heavens, average Americans have lower incomes, less discretionary spending, and more part time, minimum wage jobs since you entered the white house. On top of that, Obamacare has stuck a boot up the arse in the form of higher premiums.
"I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street."
Mr. Obama, you are an economically illiterate charlatan, who cannot understand that the costs of regulation fall squarely on the shoulders of the people you are trying to help, in the form of higher costs and less employment.
Educate yourself, Mr. President.

Well, Mr. Obama, fat cat bankers are about the only people who have benefited from your policies
If money is not mobile (as in nondiscretionary income) it is held hostage and victim to tax policy. Hence the result of this economic idiot's efforts.

Oh, what an intellectual! Seriously, what a policy heavyweight!!

Not to mention his health law, quite literally, forces us to stuff the pockets of these CEOs.

This is funny because basically Obama is a CEO and he complains on a daily basis.

What a fricking liar that guy is. His admin is LOADED w/ former Goldman-Sachs employees. LINK
That link is from '10. God only knows how much more that list has grown since then.

Typical talk from a dumb fricking Lib who's never signed the FRONT of a paycheck.

He is a complete total 100% economic, business DUMBASS.
Trust me.
Anyone with disposable money know it!
Anyone.
Obama actually believes want he is saying.
That is the separation between him and WJClinton.
Clinton's positions were about politics. Obama's are about ignorance manifest in policy.
Obama actually believes want he is saying as much as an avowed astrologer believes in astrology.
He's an idiot!

NC, wouldn't an idiot at least accidentally fall into the right decision or policy every now and then?

Let's see if the coward in chief will give that same spiel to the Hollywood millionaires that he loves to suck up to.

However, he said he obsesses with the fact that under his watch those at the top are getting a larger and larger share of the economy, whereas middle-class and working-class families are stuck.
"Their wages and incomes are stagnant. They've been stagnant for almost two decades now," he said.
Related: Jobs are starting to come back, but pay isn't
Obama started his presidency amid the worst recession since the Great Depression, and he pointed out how much the country has improved since then.
"Our policies have produced a record stock market, record corporate profits, 52 months of consecutive job growth, 10 million new jobs ... an energy sector that's booming ... a housing market that has bounced back ... I think you'd have to say that we've managed the economy pretty well," he said.
I see you did not include the more relevant parts.
Again, not surprised.
