Business leaders in the U.S. overwhelmingly support John McCain over Barack Obama for the White House ? and a resounding three out of four believe that an Obama presidency would be disastrous for the nation, a new survey reveals.

Chief Executive magazine conducted the survey of 751 CEOs in September and found that 80 percent of them support McCain for president, and just 20 percent back Obama.

Asked which candidate they fear, 69 percent of the executives named Obama, 14 percent chose McCain, and 5 percent said both.

The magazine stated that ?74 percent of the executives say they fear that an Obama presidency would be disastrous for the country,? while ?only 19 percent fear a McCain presidency.?

One CEO said: ?I?m not terribly excited about McCain being president, but I?m sure that Obama, if elected, will have a negative impact on business and the economy.?

Another CEO quoted by Chief Executive said: ?Obama has shown his inexperience in many of his ideas. Some of his planned programs would bankrupt the country within three years if implemented.?

The business leaders are especially concerned about Obama?s stated intention of increasing the capital gains tax.

?The stakes for this presidential election are higher than they?ve ever been in recent memory,? said Edward M. Kopko, CEO and Publisher of Chief Executive magazine.

?We?ve been experiencing consecutive job losses for nine months now. There?s no doubt that reviving the job market will be a top priority for the incoming president. And job creating CEOs repeatedly tell us that McCain?s policies are far more conducive to a more positive employment environment than Obama?s.?

The survey also disclosed that the CEOs gave Obama a D-plus grade on ?Economics/Fiscal Policy.? McCain received a B-minus. He also got a B-minus on ?Tax Policy,? while Obama received a D.

they want john i dont understand economics mccain? of course they want him, business as usual has done well for only them.

Both of them are both bought and paid for by special interest groups. Fucked either way.

While workers might be expecting "change", CEOs must fear it. They had a good time under Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Junior.

Wow, the rich republican CEO's think that? OMG!!!

They must know what they are talking about since they've done such a good
job of keeping the economy running smoothly.

</sarcasm>

Their job, I mean main occupation, is playing golf and saving money to buy their very own $50M island in the Caribbeans.

They probably said that about Clinton too but business and Wall Street had the best 8 years in a long time and it actually trickled down to the rest of the economy during his time in office.

I remember a Simpson's episode where the rich Texan makes a suggestion at a town hall meeting and someone responds, "I agree with the rich guy, rich guys always do what's best for the average Joe."

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

LOL, thats called a contrarian indicator.

would these be the same CEO's that have run the country into the ground and brought about economic meltdown?

I think what rich business men think at this point is pretty much irrelevant.
They are merely a minority in the population that do not matter and pretty much at this point need to be dragged out from thier cars and shot in the streets.

til they have to can your job, friends job and family because of taxes that in the end get passed along to you in the prices you pay at the cash register. No matter what your taxed!

the bush tax cuts didnt bring a flood of jobs. They get the tax savings and ship the job overseas.

Yeah I think Bush's plan didnt work for shit. He got people jobs awright and Piece of shit CEO's closed shop in America and opened up oversea's in sweat shop's.

Nice CEO business men...
Working people over sea's to death while not providing proper compensation to employee's and paying only a dime for the labor. These kind of people are the most detestable shit bag's that walk the earth.

The strongest voters for republicans is old rich white guys, ofcourse CEOs dont want Obama.
