Google CEO to endorse Obama

[AYHJA]

Google chief executive Eric Schmidt plans to endorse Barack Obama this week and campaign for the Democratic presidential candidate, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

"I'm doing this personally," Schmidt told the newspaper in an interview, adding that the Mountain View, California-based Internet search giant was "officially neutral" in the November 4 presidential election.

The Wall Street Journal said Schmidt planned to join executives from other technology companies in announcing their support for Obama and would appear at an event in Florida on Tuesday with the Democratic candidate.

In any other industry what they do would amount to market manipulation. Lobbying from their new offices in DC to leverage biden's net neutrality on their competitors, and not their own backs was a bit much, especially after EU queries determined the US govt did not give due dilligence to the doubleclick fiasco.
