Beginning to think business critters are as dumb as politicians...

11. "business leaders are becoming aware that their influence on the president is limited."

Um yeah.... You can't do any of the "pay to play" stuff that you guys do all the time and think you can get away with it. You may have bought Congress but the top of the ticket is a whole other world now that there is a laser focus going on there.
