Qualcomm Inc (QCOM)

The obvious answer is no and you know it. There are however various other companies that have not only sided with Q but have also given to Republicans. To stop the analysis at Q and assume that this is all that Bush will consider is silly to say the least don't you think? Other factors Bush will consider are profits and employment. I can see any leader putting a stop to a briefing only to ask one simple question. How much is this going to cost the U.S. Treasury and what effect on employment will this have? Since politicians exist to spend money anything that takes cash away is bad and should be avoided. Then there is always the New Orleans side of things. With FEMA backing Q don't you think Bush will likewise take that in to account too? It is risky to stop the importation of chipsets and phones that first responders want when no alternative is available by the agrieved company. We will see what kind of politician Bush is with this one. By letting the ITC order stand Bush is asked to expose himself to Katrina like risks while losing cash to his Treasury for a company not particularly involved in the cellular industry. I know which way I would go if I were in his situation. This all may be pointless for if Bush were a smart politician he would let the judiciary know that given the recent Supreme Court decisions and risks to the Treasury it would be great if things continued as normal while the courts perform their duty. In this was he does not expose himself to political risks and more importantly does not cost the Treasury any money. I look for the stay.
