Pipping the POTUS
Oct 21, 2011
"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.
Wow. I read that Jobs was blunt but this is off the charts. Obama must have been furious. He had wanted to meet the inventor of cool but then ended up getting spanked!
Still, it's strange. Why did Jobs support Obama?
