Carly left on her own? Don't you just love right wing mythology? LOL LOL LOL

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Hewlett-Packard Co. Chairman and CEO Carly Fiorina, one of the most powerful women in corporate America, is leaving the troubled computer maker after being forced out by the company's board.

Shares of HP (Research) jumped 6.9 percent in heavy trading on the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday on the news. But at one point, the stock was up as much as 10.5 percent.

"The stock is up a bit on the fact that nobody liked Carly's leadership all that much," said Robert Cihra, an analyst with Fulcrum Global Partners. "The Street had lost all faith in her and the market's hope is that anyone will be better."

Fiorina, the only female CEO at a company in the Dow Jones industrial average, had been with HP since 1999. But the company's controversial deal to buy Compaq in the spring of 2002 -- after a bruising proxy fight led by one of the Hewlett family heirs -- has not produced the shareholder returns or profits she had promised.

"While I regret the board and I have differences about how to execute HP's strategy, I respect their decision," Fiorina said in a statement released by the company.

It's really funny when someone posts a comment to an accurate story that is full of lies and then offers to help others with the facts. That cretin credits Carly with the takeover of HP biggest rival which is exactly what got HP in trouble when she couldn't integrate both companies profitably.
One more thing, I make it a practice not to take advise about facts from someone who can't even spell "their" correctly and who specializes in fictional accounts of history.

Carly's record of failure in the private sector reminds me of the private sector failures of G W Bush. Maybe she can be as effective a Senator as he was as a President ROTFLMAO.
I love this line:
"The Street had lost all faith in her and the market's hope is that anyone will be better."
Anyone would be better

All she has to do is run as a democrat and she will be welcomed with open arms. She will be sitting (if elected as a democrat) with scores of failed CEOs, adulterers, tax cheats, serial sexual predators, sexual deviants, etc. Hey Obie hired two failed CEOs (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) for his campaign staff.

And you have to laugh at the comment from the Boxer camp, so "spent decades fighting and winning for the people of California " spoken like the POLITICIAN she is and not a stateman. She spent decades getting votes to stay in office so she didnt have to get a real job. Not unlike teddy "brain" kennedy after he allowed his sexual partner to die a slow drowning death in a lake. Look and see what California is like now. They promote allowing non citizens to be "citizens". They promote "free" education at the cost of anyone who makes money. They promote stringent environmental laws while whining that they are not getting enough industry for jobs.... Boxer, Feinstein...both are out dated dinosaurs (like teddy, barney, harry, hilliary and obie) that need to simply go to their retirement mansions, stop taking tax payer money and start spending their own money.

Not fair of you to pick the spelling of one side of the argument. Chaz had a misspelling also but because he had your view, you chose to only criticize Pat. We all type fast and make errors. Be fair when you criticize; not one-sided.

I've been listening to ignorant and uninformed right wing extremists call Democrats socialists, commies and marxists for almost 60 years. They have no idea what those terms mean but because of their need to lie and scare people all the time, those are the easiest and most reliable lies they can come up with. As far as I'm concerned it's just a quick way to spot an extremist cretin. I love it when they call George Soros, one of the most successful capitalists/hedge fund managers in history, a socialist or commie.
Like all good Socialists Senator Boxer started her career on Wall Street as a broker, an obvious training ground for Socialists :)

Oh No!!! another ignorant fringe extremists spreading lies. I hate to inform you that Boxer worked in the real world as a broker and then raised two children before entering politics. That's as real world as it gets, dummy

Exactly right! No drilling for oil, California nearly bankrupt, huge trade deficient, some of the worst public schools in california, business's leaving California, jobs leaving the state, what has she done to help Californian's?

Carly had absolutely no business success and has the interpersonal relationship skills of a dead skunk. I will always remember her comment to the thousands of employees she laid off "Get over it, the company doesn't owe you a job". Compassionate Conservatism at its finest!

Yeah, except didn't she get canned at HP for being inept, and she was behind the "spying on employees" fiasco?
