President Barack Obama has always believed that America succeeds when business succeeds. He has a deep, abiding commitment to doing what is necessary to strengthen our economy and make America more competitive. That is why, having spent decades in government and business myself, I was amazed to see the critical comments George Buckley, chief executive and chairman of 3M, made in the Financial Times this week, when he dubbed the president as “anti-business”.
As a government our responsibility is to lay the foundations for the private sector to thrive; indeed, that is at the heart of our strategy for growth. We are reforming America’s schools so that businesses can hire the world’s most skilled and talented workers – with solutions driven not from Washington, but from across the country. We are training 100,000 new maths and science teachers. And we are both making college more affordable and revitalising our community college system, so that America continues to not only have the best universities in the world, but also the highest college graduation rates.
Our administration is also upgrading our transportation and communication networks so businesses can move goods and information more quickly and cheaply. And we are redoubling our commitment to the research and innovation that is central to our long-term prosperity, including a proposal to enhance and permanently extend the research and development tax credit for businesses. We have also proposed reforms to address the very immigration problem Mr Buckley described. The president has said clearly that he does not believe in a system that forces students on a visa to leave the country after they earn an advanced degree, which means we train our competition.

William Daley = Wesley Mouch
My thoughts (besides laughter at the idea of Obama as "pro-business":
1. It looks like business wants government out of the way so they can strengthen the economy for real. You do not make the economy stronger by transferring wealth to the unions or by nationalizing and propping up failing banks and incompetent car companies.
2. It looks like business has no confidence in the school "reforms" being pushed on Americans by the Obama regime.
3. It looks like business has no confidence in the high speed rail as anything but a pork project to transfer wealth from the productive sector to those who build that useless rail line.
4. It looks like business has no confidence in government's ability to pick winning and losing technologies to boost our economy.
5. It looks like business has no confidence in the proposed immigration policies of a government that has no interest in enforcing existing laws and policies.
The bottom line: The American people made it perfectly clear in November that we agree with the business world. Either the Obama regime is filled with slow learners, or they just don't care and they are trying to do as much damage as possible before they are voted out.
Barry Soetoro, aka Barrack Obama, is certainly pro-Bankster. Barry’s biggest campaign contributors were Banksters and Daley himself is the latest in the endless parade of “ex”-Wall Street executives to end up in the Obongo Administration. The only people making out like bandits in the ongoing financial catastrophe have been the Banksters and will continue with the Teleprompter-Reader-in-Chief in the White House (and then his inevitable Bankster-approved Republicrat replacement)
President Barack Obama has always believed that America succeeds when business COMMUNISM or SOCIALISM succeeds. He has a deep, abiding commitment to doing what is necessary to strengthen our economy and make America more competitive WEAK AND FECKLESS SO THAT THE GLORIOUS WORKER'S PARTY CAN GAIN COMPLETE CONTROL. That is why, having spent decades in government and business myself, I was amazed to see the critical ENTIRELY ACCURATE comments George Buckley, chief executive and chairman of 3M, made in the Financial Times this week, when he dubbed the president as “anti-business”.
There fixed it.
Anybody who thinks the hoax-based Cap n' Trade Tax is good for business is anti-business.
Anybody who thinks the Healthcare Bill is good for business is anti-business.
Anybody who thinks nationalizing private companies is good for business is anti-business.
If zero were in my outfit in the ‘nam, he’d be burning the shitt4r every day for 13 months!
What a load of crap. He’s a pro-business president? I don’t think he has a deep and abiding commitment to anything but himself and his re-election efforts.
Has this guy been taking drugs with Charlie Sheen?
Don’t forget the other Leftist slogan:
Arbeit Macht Frei
Mr Daley is pretty well insulated from reality.
Daley’s “business experience” has so helped Chicago.
I like the way Zero Hedge titled this...
“Propaganda bureau speaks: Why Obama is a pro-business president per Bill Daley “
Hmm, learn something new every day. Thanks for the correction!
Bill Daley is very smart. Very. But that doesn’t make him right.
