From Politico:
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz continued his rhetorical war against Washington gridlock Tuesday during a conference call and webcast castigating the White House and Congress for the nation’s deficit and unemployment rate.
In a conference call that was heavy on angry us-against-Washington rhetoric and deficit and unemployment statistics and light on policy proposals, Schultz reiterated his call for the federal government to immediately work to reduce both the deficit and unemployment.
I participated in the electronic townhall meeting and the above was definitely not what I walked away with. Politico makes it sound Washington (read leadership in both parties.) should be scrambling to see who can play the victim card the fastest because big, bad, Howard Shultz is after them. That isn’t what it was about.
