Google CEO Joins Endorsement List

Google is officially campaign “neutral” during this presidential campaign. However, Google’s high profile Chief Executive Officer has made an endorsement:

“Google chief executive Eric Schmidt plans to endorse Barack Obama this week and campaign for the Democratic presidential candidate, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

“I’m doing this personally,” Schmidt told the newspaper in an interview…”

Is it possible to have an active CEO such as Eric Schmidt endorse a candidate and still consider the company “neutral”? It may be good in theory but it strains credulity.

I think it is quite possible to separate personal choice from business practice. Since Obamo is more pro-tech, (from what I have seen/heard/read), his personal choice is most likely made in hopes to benefit Google in the long run. And just because his personal choice may or may not effect Google’s bottom line, does not mean that Google’s stance on this issue is effected. Especially if you consider that Obama’s plans will mean Google will most likely have to come out of pocket more in taxes.

Google is so much more than 1 man.

I cannot believe you would endorse Obama for such a purpose. Based on your investigation in assuming he is more pro tech is ridiculous. How on earth would you think this guy is going to cause Google any form of beneifits for the company as a whole or you yourself. I’m beginningf to wonder why all the people that are giving him endorsements are hoping by doing so that if he does become President he’ll possibly give you a break. Ha. I really think you all have been drinking some of that socializim KOOLAID, to really believe this snicky, lying,doesn’t sing thje national anthem, wear an American Flag on his lapel,( everyone does) won’t lay a legitiment birth certificate on the plate, continues to flip flop whenever the spirit inspires him , and I could go on & on, but what is it going to take for you all to “see the light”. I am a single mother of 2 kids, have been for over 10 years, have worked my rear off to support them, give them as good a life as I could, and I did give them a good life, and as I said I WORKED FOR IT & HARD!!!!!!!!!! I’ve lost so much of my $ in the market, to which I poured all the money I could into the market, and have lost it, and I surely will NOT VOTE for him, and I am a’”so called” middle class. If you believe the crap he dishes out , I truly believe what I have always along with others thought, you got lucky with Google.
