I'm not sure why executives are taking time from their productive work to waste efforts on this, as what part of limiting the size of government doesn't Obama and the majority of politicians in Washington not understand.

They can't continue to kick the can down the road, as the length of the road is coming to an end, and someone has to make the right decisions for this country to economically survive.

Those named to the board are Aetna (NYSE:AET) Chairman Ronald Williams, Symantec (NASDAQ:SYMC) CEO Enrique Salem, OSI Restaurant Partners (OSI.UL) CEO Elizabeth Smith and Cummins (NYSE:CMI) CEO Tim Solso.
