The White House has launched a coordinated campaign to push back against the perception taking hold in corporate America and on Wall Street that President Barack Obama is promoting an anti-business agenda.
Obama has been happy to be seen by voters as cracking down on Wall Street but those efforts have had an unintended result: feeding a sense that the president and his party are indifferent or even actively hostile toward big business, whether those businesses are Silicon Valley tech companies, Midwestern manufacturers or Main Street small businesses.
And it is more than just politics: Obama’s aides believe confidence in the general direction of White House policy has an effect on the willingness of corporations to hire, invest and push the economy toward a more solid recovery.
Honestly it's not easy to believe that, I hope Obama will have some pro-business bills and laws next because in this moment it's more anti-business...Why not a corporate tax cut ?
Obama hasn't seen an industry that he didn't want to nationalize. In that way one could say he is "pro-business" but it is a real stretch to suggest anything about his policies are.

Why does Obama or any president need to meddle in business? They do not have a clue how to run business. They (government) barely know how to govern, and that is highly questionable!
The government does not know how to raise money only spend it.
The government views success as vote’s not financial gain.
The government taxes success and rewards dependence. (Government dependence = votes!)
He is definitely not anti big business. The big corporations and the super wealthy should love this guy.
They do, but small to medium business doesn't. They are not big enough to reap the benefits that big business is getting from this administration.
Small business has to pay mandatory health care insurance while big business gets to write off millions if not billions in employee healthcare for the "loophole" they closed.
Of course they aren't anti-business, they need money for re-election!
These people must be just his Poor Neighbors"!

This administration is killing small business, particularly the service sector which at one time was the backbone and cornerstone of the American economy. This adminstration is absolutely clueless with regard to finance and economic prosperity. The motto is "borrow, borrow, borrow and let future generations deal with the insurmountable liability."
