President Obama on Wednesday sat down with chief executives from major companies such as Boeing, Comcast, General Electric and Google for a lengthy "working meeting" to urge them to do more hiring to bring down unemployment and work with him to strengthen the economic recovery.
"I am looking forward to getting good ideas from them, but I am definitely going to talk to them about how we can get more hiring out there," Obama told reporters as he walked across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House to attend the meeting at Blair House.
The meeting was expected to last about four hours and is part of a renewed push by the Obama administration to dispel criticism that it is anti-business. That initiative has included business-friendly moves in recent weeks, such as completing a trade pact with South Korea and making a deal to extend the Bush-era tax cuts and include other tax breaks helpful to U.S. companies...

Observing obama and the leftist/fascist nature of his marxism there is remarkable similarity to Weimar Germany, depression and then massive inflation leading to the rise of the statist national socialist german workers party (NSDAP- Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, that is the Nazis).
Most people believe the Nazis were right wing- they were not- they took in the communists, all workers, all left wingers and molded these from the depths of post WWI loss into a nationalistic,military-industrial war machine. They then turned out the communists in favor of german culture and pagan nazi ritual. Anti-christian,catholic,jew, gypsy, whatever did not serve the state did not serve the nazis in a police state.
The aristocracy of the Krupps, IG Farben, Bayer et al thought they had a good deal- to manage the workers and keep their money. Then, surprise- they didn’t own their companies anymore.
In the way of obama is true conservatism- supported by our Constitution. These extra national corporatists stand in our way- and it is meetings like this which should wake them up.
Why not just Harry and Nancy to pass some legislation requiring private companies to hire people? If they can require private citizens to buy insurance, why not require companies to hire people? I really don’t see a difference. One forces a private entity to buy insurance; the other would force a private entity to buy labor.
Apparently, we need to amend the U.S. Constitution to include a prerequisite of 5 years’ experience as the CEO of a private sector company in order to be POTUS.
(I’m only half kidding.)
That way, I could have told him to take his totalitarian worldviews and tax hikes and stick them up his @ss.
It’s become more profitable for companies to hord cash than expand & create jobs given the current economic policies of Dear Readers whitehouse. The bolshevik takeover of healthcare by the government didn’t help either.
"Maybe obozo can just sign another executive order. Every company to hire 5% more employees and cut the work week to 35 hours.
Someone loaded all the dark passages of "Atlas Shrugged" into his teleprompter.
Almost every week he comes out with something straight out of the "Atlas" in terms of the destruction of the industrial capacity of USA.
Wake up people !!
He was raising CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS for his 2012 campaign !!
Did you really think he was talking JOBS ??
Get serious !!
Gee, he met with greedy folks who make over 250K?
Who didn’t get ‘stimulus’ money?
Wait a minute, wasn’t THAT to create jobs?
/hat off
Hitler did the same thing, he “urged” the corporations to tow the party line, or else.
Bamster has spoken to many of the “biggies” and the direction of such stays a secret.
He really doesn't get it. He thinks that these CEOs will create jobs because Obama needs them - not because those jobs will result in more earnings for those CEOs.
Clueless dofus (sorry about the redundancy.) Obomba apparently thinks it’s in the power of the personality. Axe them nicely and they’ll do. They’ll do after they’ve exported a million of our jobs to India, without a price to pay. Oh, yeah. Oprah economics - personality wins!
China is still a goal as well. It is very disconcerting watching our company protect copyrights by etching it off.
The medical term is PANIC. The socialist cure has shown to be 100% fatal but testing isn’t complete. I think Hugo, Hitler, Mussolini, whatever we call him is about to go apekaka on us. Notwithstanding what the Congress/Polituro just did. Ammo up kids. He’s freaking.
Recovery Winter
so true! when i was 13-years old, i would work after school for a teacher and grade papers at $2.00 an hour... that was a lot of dinero to me... by the time i ended that job--after almost two years, he was paying me $4 an hour! this was back in 78-79... when i was 16-18, i worked in the cannery with my mother during the summers... talk about hard work...but at $9 an hour way back then, it was worth it to me... today my 14-year old son makes money taking care of our neighbor's horses when he's out of town... he works hard, and has quickly learned the value of a dollar...
Obama has to be a very sad man.
“Theyre morons if they think he is their friend.”
Google is. On the other side, Google is the kind of company that hires 500-1000 people, tops, and can’t do much about expanding the payroll. They could put a bit more people in external positions at sales, etc but that’s all.
