Today, Mitt Romney is campaigning with major business leaders including Charles Schwab, CEO of Cisco John Chambers, and co-founder of Home Depot Bernie Marcus. But the biggest name on Romney’s list – at least for political purposes – is Intel CEO Paul Otellini, who has sat on President Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
Back in 2010, Obama appointed Otellini in an attempt to help stifle his disquiet about Obama’s business policy. But since the Jobs Council is now obsolete – Obama hasn’t met with it since January – the blinders are off for Otelinni.
