I’m no socialist, Obama tells CEOs

President Barack Obama told business leaders Wednesday that he’s no socialist plotting a government takeover of the economy.

His administration isn’t anti-business, he said in a speech to the Business Roundtable, an organization of chief executive officers of major U.S. corporations. “It’s pro-America and I don’t apologize for it.”

“Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, I am an ardent believer in the free market,” Obama said. “I believe businesses like yours are the engines of economic growth in this country.”

Reuters President Barack Obama.

“I firmly believe that America’s success in large part depends on your success,” Obama said.

“We are all in this together,” he said in asking the business leaders to help him create a smarter government that will be pro-growth and pro-jobs. Obama’s remarks came on the eve of a high-stakes summit with congressional leaders about the way forward on health-care reform, momentum for which seems to have stalled on Capitol Hill just short of the finish line. ...

“Government hasn’t stepped in to supplant private enterprise, but to catalyze it — to create the conditions for entrepreneurs and new businesses to adapt and survive,” Obama said.

Government’s role has properly been limited to three areas, Obama said.

First, it’s involved in setting up the basic rules of the marketplace to ensure “honest competition, fair dealing, and a level playing field,” he said. “On balance, those rules have been good for business, not bad.”

“The devil’s greatest trick is to convince people that they don’t really exist.”
It’s the same with socialists,fascists or marxist.
