Two Steps Back
On rare occasions, someone will summarize my thoughts even better than I can myself. Certain things that I may be thinking, but haven’t yet found the right words to express them verbally.
Today I’ll give that virtual podium to Rupert Murdoch, chairman and CEO of News Corp., regarding the fear that many of us have about Senator Obama’s economic platform.
In an interview on Friday, Mr Murdoch said:
“I am very worried. “I like Sen. Obama very much. I have met him. He is a very intelligent man. But his policy of anti-globalization, protectionism, is going to be — and card checks — are going to do two or three things. It’s going to give us a lot of inflation. They’re going to ruin our relationships with the rest of the world. And they are going to slow down the rest of the world, too. And they’re going to make people frightened to add to employment. You are going to find companies leaving this country if it’s — if you put a protectionist wall around it. You’re going to get — his policy is really very, very naive, old-fashioned, 1960s.”
Not a good sign in the global economy of the 21st century.
I sure hope people learn to see beyond the “change” rhetroic before November.
