He is not corrupt considering that he previously helped Bill Clinton with the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Well at least he gets the chamber of commerce in a more cooperative mood. Maybe he can help shape a more business friendly political environment on the presidential side of things.

"Chicago corruption" and "more business friendly political environment". Man, you guys sure follow a predictable script.

"Vote early and vote often" - the code of the Chicago Democratic Machine... Let's see if he can help Obama for the time being...

GJ - It's predictable because it's obvious. :-)

What is obvious is that they are two talking points designed to be repeated over and over again, which you guys duly did.

The idea that Obama is anti-business and needs "credibility with the business community" as the article says is just the usual political spin job dreamed up by the consulting hacks. It is designed to give him cover to continue the same allegedly "pro-business" policies that are running the US into the ground, and keep the Ponzi alive a little longer.

Hay, I approve of the appointment. I'm pretty sure Daley was picked for the position largely because that is the kind of reaction his presence would illicit.

I like NAFTA and I like open trade agreements so I’m pretty happy about Daley.

Hopefully that's not the case. I like a more dynamic business environment where profit and failure are left to the consumer to deal out and where the variety of products is only limited by what people will and won't buy. I’ve never actually seen such a thing but maybe in a few decades the parties will finally die out and we can actually get things done.
