While Obama mops the slop
from broken bubbles, business
sounds the call to arms for battles
that must be won, or the coerced
decline in union membership
could be reversed by “card check,”
profits stored overseas won’t get
a tax-free holiday to come home,
bankruptcy judges will get power
to force lenders to treat mortgages
like other loans and rewrite terms,
government could make companies
reduce greenhouse gases for free,
kill the medical goose that
feeds so many with golden eggs,
improve broadband without
creating a business bonanza, limit
executive pay, reduce retailer
profits on imported products,
or refuse to let employers fill jobs
created by the stimulus plan
with low-cost immigrants.

Obama’s race against depression
has just begun, but Business Week
assures us he’s not in this alone.
