“The White House is moving aggressively to remove the U.S. Chamber of Commerce from its traditional Washington role as the chief representative for big business, the latest sign of a public feud ignited by disagreement over the administration’s effort to overhaul the health-care system. Instead of working through the Chamber, President Obama has reached out to business executives, meeting repeatedly with small groups of CEOs in his private White House dining room.” (Washington Post ^[1], Tuesday)

Beware any close relationship between business and State.
