Cheerful Billionaire Peterffy Works to Topple Obama With Ad
This article is for subscribers only.
It hardly counts as news anymore when a billionaire starts fulminating about Barack Obama. The likes of the Koch brothers, Stephen Schwarzman and Leon Cooperman have already called the president all sorts of things, Schwarzman even comparing his tax policies to the Nazi invasion of Poland. He later apologized.
What’s startling, then, about a television ad suggesting Obama is a socialist whose policies stifle entrepreneurship is that it’s not angry at all. It’s sort of a tear-jerker.
