I just saw this nauseating article about what carl, "strip n sell" Icahn thinks about the prospect of an Obama Presidency. I'll spoil it, he's not excited".

May 22 (Bloomberg) -- Billionaire investor Carl Icahn said Barack Obama would be a ``terrible'' U.S. president whose election would bring higher interest rates and a loss of international confidence in the dollar
Acknowledging this is truly a non-issue becuase no one really knows who Icahn is or really cares, I'm glad obama doesn't have that support. Icahn came to his wealth by Greenmailing and corporate raiding. Contrast with Obama’s most high profile endorsement from the corporate world, Warren Buffett. Icahn does not creat wealth. Greenmailing is essentially legalized extortion, and his corporate raiding is far more likely to cost people there jobs than provide any benefit for the economy at large. Buffett on the other hand provides capital for worthy companies and invests in their long term success helping the economy and people up and down the economic ladder.
