Ann McFeatters: Presidential summits look good but don't do much good

Tim D. | 8:32 a.m. Nov. 15, 2009

A summit is just another way of saying the President isn't going to do what needs to be done - get the government off the backs of business. Obama does not want a private sector recovery, he wants a private sector melt down and is doing all in his power to see that it happens, and see that it happens in a way that he does not get blamed for.

happen as long as perverse socialist policies are the topic of the "summits". American businesses will not be coaxed into taking risks or making investment so long as Nancy Pelosi, Harry Ried and Barak Obama are driving the boat.

If I were Selected to the Panel | 12:58 p.m. Nov. 15, 2009

I would put the selection on my resume!

Of course, like, Ann McFetters says, I wouldn't expect anything to come of it.

Summits are the tops of mountains and pretentious meetings of those who are lifted up in the imaginations of their heart.

Obama is not the King of the World and his standing in the United States is in jeopardy. I think he is living in Cloud Cuckoo Land.

The Obama haters are out in force. The reality is that summits do enhance relationships between countries and their leaders. If you are looking for the magic bullet, very few ever come, summit or not. It is part of a process. So chill out, Obama haters and media types who love snipping.
