Much of H-P's current dilemma stems from having to answer to investors. It had no big problem with its customers until it began to announce changes to its strategies driven by investor concerns.

I can't speak to the validity of Apotheker's long-term vision (which appears to be to do just what Read More...

Using an Executive order would be at best a temporary solution. New presidents spend the first 90 days or so reversing the Executive orders of the old president that he doesn't like. So in 2016, a new republican president could simply reverse Obama's hr executive order and Gays would be back to square one.
