Obama Woos CEOs as Frictions Ease - WSJ.com

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?

How ironic - the lib rats have called corporate america every bad name they could think of and now they want to 'woo' them.

Do you think the idiots are finally waking up and realizing that we need big and small businesses to survive and that we need to offer tax cuts for everyone so that the 'rich' will spend money and help fuel our economy? Do you think the idiots realize that the stimulus was a waste? Do you think the idiots realize entitlements and taking from one to give to another will not work? I sure hope so.

Sadly, you are probably correct. The left never seems to wake up from their dream of 'hope and change'

I see this as just another sign of his total surrender to the agenda of the GOP and the Clinton Democrats, both of which are corporatist's.

He's been beaten and is now doing what they tell him to do.

Obama's bailouts of the financial industry were a page pulled straight out of the Republican Party... Nixon bailed out Lockheed, Reagan bailed out Chysler and Harley Davidson, Big Bush bailed out the Savings and Loan institutions, and Little Bush intitiated our current bailouts.
