yes, its true Starbucks CEO backs Obama.

When Obama loses, be sure you and your family are safe from harm.

Wow, stop the presses! A republican endorses Romney!

You don't have to worry about that.

The republican dogma is that government doesn't create jobs, and apparently numerous CEOs don't either.

Typical republicans, always wanting another handout and will cry if they don't get it.

Is there any wonder why republicans are so despised the world over.

Steve Jobs Biography Reveals He Told Obama, 'You're Headed For A One-Term Presidency'

Jobs was characteristically blunt. He seemed to have transformed from a liberal into a conservative.

"You're headed for a one-term presidency," he told Obama at the start of their meeting, insisting that the administration needed to be more business-friendly.

As an example, Jobs described the ease with which companies can build factories in China compared to the United States, where "regulations and unnecessary costs" make it difficult for them.

Jobs also criticized America's education system, saying it was "crippled by union work rules," noted Isaacson. "Until the teachers' unions were broken, there was almost no hope for education reform." Jobs proposed allowing principals to hire and fire teachers based on merit, that schools stay open until 6 p.m. and that they be open 11 months a year.

I can't wait till Nov 6 so that all the election bullshit will finally end. The media will go back to their daily jobs, advertising will relax. And most importantly those annoying ads for random propositions will go away.

You right wingers wore out that BS like a cheap condom years ago. At least be more creative and think up some new BS, cause the same old debunked BS isn't even believable anymore.

Yeah, yeah, and just where is Jobs now? Move on to some new dogma.

If Jobs is so smart, why is he dead?

Upisdown says, "Yeah, yeah, and just where is Jobs now? Move on to some new dogma."

Excuse me? You're saying that because he's dead, his words mean nothing? That's a pretty short sighted and frankly uneducated position to be taking. I'm hoping you were just being sloppy rather than serious. Dead people get quoted all the time. One of my favorites is from Ghandi, "Be the change you would like to see in the world."

Or we will have 2 weeks of nonstop election coverage of "The Closest Presidential Race in US History!"

Could happen, and will make us long for the days on canned stump speeches and bullshit ads.

Read this real slow.............Y E S. That was then and this is know, and he's no prophet. Actually, he's nothing but rotting flesh, and rather immaterial at this point.

SURPRISE: Silicon Valley Hero Marc Andreessen Is Backing Romney

But the truth is that there is also a very strong libertarian strain in the Valley.

Sometimes libertarian-leaning Silicon Valley titans even almost allow themselves to be called Republicans.

Take Marc Andreessen, for example.

He has contributed $100,000 to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign via a SuperPAC.

Andreessen is the biggest fish there is in Valley right now. He's on the board of Facebook and HP. He's already a huge investor in startups through his VC firm, Andreessen Horowitz, and he still has billions more to seed.

In this CNBC clip, Andreessen says he supports Romney because he is a "dyed-in-the-wool" businessman who understand that "regulations" get in the way of business.

Andreessen says he used to support Democrats – like Clinton/Gore, for example – but "I turned 40 last year and so I figured it was time to make the switch."

That's not a very "big fish". Too bad that he didn't spend more, because he's trying to get something in return-for nothing. People like him are better to society and less dangerous/maniacal when they have less resources to act out their screwed up vision of the world.

oh just wait until you work in business and turn 40... its a different world. You might realize you might realize you have something called responsibilities.

I've already passed you on both of those long ago. Get a life and take some responsibility for your own future and well being instead of bitching about it, because that's a waste of your energy. Obviously you haven't realized that yet.

I never really liked the man when he was alive. But since then I have developed a lot of respect for him.

Great yacht taste too!

Although I would prefer a steel hull if I were him. It does not look like a planing or semi-displacement hull. What is the point of using light-weight aluminum?

They'll milk it to death I'm sure. There will be at least a week of accusations of election fraud, followed by several weeks of grief counseling for the losing party whoever it may be. And several incoherent rants by Rush Limbaugh.
