I don't have too much commentary to add to this, but this info has got to get out there immediately.
With Fiorina admitting she believes neither Palin nor McCain could run a business, the question immediately comes to mind: "Yeah, but could Obama?"
Well, an authority no greater than the richest businessman in the world thinks Obama could.
Until now, any political advantage to be gained from the Fiorina story was greatly reduced by the fact that she actually criticized all four candidates. Yes, the Obama team could cut out the part of the quotation they didn't like. And it does hurt McCain a little, as is. But the truth is, most Americans don't necessarily think that Obama could run a business either. (I definitely disagree with them, given the phenomenal job he has done running his campaign!)
Using Fiorina's words against McCain puts the McCain camp on the defensive for a few hours or even a day, but to do real damage, we have to find a way to highlight Obama's competence in business against McCain's stated deficiency in the same area. To score major political points, Obama would need a hugely successful entrepreneur to come in and vouch for him.
Well, it's already happened.
Back in March, Buffett said the following about both Obama and Clinton:
"I would put either one of them in charge of a business."

Obama campaign, please stay up all night and release a commercial with this information by tomorrow's morning news programs!
Please rec this diary so that the Obama campaign gets the message and sets to work on it immediately.
Update: Thanks to Magnifico, we now have a video link. To hear the clip, watch the video clip next to where it says "7:44 AM." The juicy bit lasts 45 seconds. It starts at 4:43 and ends at 5:28. I like how he says he would gladly hire either Obama or Clinton to run one of his businesses!
