11/1/12, “CEO on Obama Job Council Endorses Romney,” Washington Free Beacon
“Mitt Romney picked up the endorsement of yet another chief executive officer of a major U.S. company—and one who is on President Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Intel chief executive officer Paul Otellini has endorsed the Republican nominee.
Despite his presence on the president’s job council, however, Ortellini has criticized the administration in the past pretty strongly, as noted by Human Events. In 2010, the Intel CEO blasted Democrats in Washington at an Aspen Forum event:
“Otellini singled out the political state of affairs in Democrat-dominated Washington, saying: “I think this group does not understand what it takes to create jobs. And I think they’re flummoxed by their experiment in Keynesian economics not working.”
Since an unusually sharp downturn accelerated in late 2008, the Obama
administration and its allies in the U.S. Congress have enacted
trillions in deficit spending they say will create an economic stimulus
but have not extended the Bush tax cuts and have pushed to levy
extensive new health care and carbon regulations on businesses….
As a result, he said, “every business in America has a list of more variables than I’ve ever seen in my career.”
If variables like capital gains taxes and the R&D tax credit are
resolved correctly, jobs will stay here, but if politicians make
decisions “the wrong way, people will not invest in the United States.
They’ll invest elsewhere.”” via Free Republic
