Well this didn’t take long:

On the heels of the resignation of General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner, the Service Employees International Union is urging President Barack Obama to oust Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis.

“It defies logic, common-sense, and responsible governance to punish the auto industry while letting financial institutions off the hook,” SEIU President Andy Stern said, announcing his call for Lewis’s job Tuesday.

The SEIU has begun circulating an online petition, calling on the administration to “show the door to CEO Ken Lewis.”

What’s next — campaigns pro and con on which CEOs get canned? Once business decisions become political ones there is really no turning back. The president kicked out GM’s CEO in advance of a potential bankruptcy — where such a move would have been removed from partisan political concerns. Obama promised to take the “politics out of science” — but plainly not out of business.
