Jobs, who was known for his prickly, stubborn personality, almost missed meeting President Obama in the fall of 2010 because he insisted that the president personally ask him for a meeting. Though his wife told him that Obama "was really psyched to meet with you," Jobs insisted on the personal invitation, and the standoff lasted for five days.

Everything Jobs said I agree with and I consider myself a liberal. The regulation that needed to be implemented was on Wall Streets shadow banking practices and the Federal Reserve also needs to be restructured so we can stop these crazy boom-bust cycles. As for red tape on small businesses, manufacturing, and infrastructure, I fully agree with Jobs. And I definitely agree about unions in the schools. Unions have their place, but not in education.

I find it odd that we are first hearing about this now.
It's amazing how tightlipped the media is when covering liberals. Yet we know every possible thing about any conservative in the public eye.
Desert is right, and I was thinking the same thing. Where in the OP did it say Steve Jobs complained about Obamacare?
You're going to have to continue to become more conservative so that you don't immediately dismiss what regulations mean... I don't have a lot of hope for liberals to do that though.

As an example, Jobs described the ease with which companies can build factories in China compared to the United States, where "regulations and unnecessary costs" make it difficult for them.
3,000 pages of new regulations with Obamacare alone. Then try Dodd/Frank and all his (Obama's) czars.
I'm curious as to your response on if you think those things are more or less regulatory.

There are people who don't think Obamacare represents more regulations on business. Just amazing.
I've seen HR jobs created simply for the newest regulations and, no, they're not net-positive.
