"Of course, these dissidents have been swatting away at Obama's iron fist for years. Langone himself accused Obama in 2011 of attempting "to divide us and make us look at each other with skepticism, with suspicion."
But Langone wasn't even the first Home Depot executive to speak out against Obama's culture of intimidation. Bernie Marcus, who helped found the home improvement retailer, said in 2011 that many CEOs opted against criticizing Obama out of fear of retribution.
"They are frightened to death — frightened that they will have the IRS or SEC on them," Marcus said. "In my 50 years in business, I have never seen executives of major companies who were more intimidated by an administration."
