Why? Are you OK with our government being run from behind the scenes by corporate functionaries for their own benefit, the way they've been doing for the past 20 years or more?
President Barack Obama will convene a one-day summit of corporate chief executives Wednesday as part of a renewed White House effort to build support among business leaders for his economic agenda.
Chief executives from Google Inc., Cisco Systems Inc., International Business Machines Corp., American Express Co., Dow Chemical Co. and Pepsico Inc. have been invited to the meeting at Blair House, next to the White House, to discuss trade, tax, regulatory issues and the deficit.
Isn't this something this administration should have done two years ago had they been more concerned with American jobs than their liberal entitlement agenda?
From the article you linked.
Mr. Obama has met with chief executives since the start of his administration....
"No president since the Great Depression has lost more jobs, for a longer period of time, than has Barack Obama.
...Where previous recessions would have long ago shown recovery and job growth, the Obama recession shows continued stagnation."
Obama prioritized his progressive agenda over an economic and jobs recovery. The country is worse off for Obama's decision to do so. The chart says it all.
Hopefully he'll learn something on just how business
makes job's and how that will improve the economy
unlike more government jobs that are draining the
economy.
Sadly it will not make much of a difference, Obama's
agenda is set on redistrabution of wealth and he's
mighty proud of it !
“My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” –
With this President don't hold your breath please, you may have to come up for air! I will believe not a thing, until i see some positive start to happen.
The first thing FDR did when he got into office was bail out the banks.
The first thing Obama did when he got into office was bail out the banks (3rd payment of TARP).
Obama was never any different then those who held that office before him.
So sad so many got fooled at the voting booth.
Behind closed doors expect the corporations to be the ones doing the wooing by promising election money and party support if the democrats continue practices that favor corporation profit like off shoring and illegal/cheap labor.
Could just as well be the republicans in another situation.
Of course to get your vote besides the fact, the party and politicians will tell you what you want to hear like cracking down on illegal immigration or bringing jobs back. But then, after they wooed (lied) you, they listen to who really has their attention, and it isn't you. But they know you'll vote for them anyway, or 4 or 8 years later in the end at the most.
