The same morning that Eric Alterman's screed was unleashed, Ben White offers a different perspective in Politico. Via Mike Allen:


> HITE HOUSE PUSHES PRO-BUSINESS MESSAGE - Ben White writes in POLITICO's “Morning Money”: “The administration is pushing back against the view … in some quarters of corporate America and most of Wall Street that it has an anti-business agenda. The latest examples were President Obama's remarks on free trade yesterday ('We've all got to all row in the same direction') and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's interview on CNBC's 'Kudlow Report' last night. Geithner stressed that the administration hopes to keep the top tax rate on capital gains and dividends at 20 percent and said the economy was 'healing' and the recovery is 'very encouraging. … We have a pro-growth agenda.'”
