The Presidential Planner
ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports:
Today, President Obama will address the Business Roundtable’s 2010 First Quarter Meeting at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington, DC where he will “lay out our vision for a more competitive America, where the interests of workers, businesses, and government are aligned around the common goal of ensuring a growing prosperity that is widely shared,” the White House says.
"We need to build an economy where we borrow less and produce more," the president will say, according to excerpts released by the White House. "We need an economy where we generate more jobs here at home and send more products overseas. We need to invest and nurture the industries of the future, and we need to train our workers to compete for those jobs."
The president will say that the answer is not about being "anti-business or pro-government; it’s about being pro-growth and pro-jobs."
After returning to the White House, the President will participate in a private credentialing ceremony for foreign ambassadors in the Oval Office.
Later in the afternoon, the President and the Vice President will meet with Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke in the Oval Office.

OBAMA SPENT TUESDAY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS — IN PRIVATE MEETINGS!??? HOW MANY DEALS DID HE MAKE WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO GET VOTES? The Obama Administration is putting the screws to Americans. Pelosi and Obama remind me of two small children who want their way no matter what anyone else wants. Americans do not like it when the government acts like a bully — the good news is we can vote them out of office if they push the broken, ineffective, government-run health care bill down our throats.

You seem to be part of the arrogant Republican right who think only they have the divine right to rule America – and that everyone else will destroy it.
Hogwash. We saw what the Republicans did under Bush and Cheney.

In 40 yrs, I have never seen such terrible partisanship by Dems or Repubs. The Republicans should not cooperate relative to the horrible bill that is on the table. Obama’s arrogance prevents him from getting a bi-partisan plan because he won’t start over. To do so will result in a bill this year. It has to include tort reform, competition across state lines, waste cuts in all phases of government. These things go against Obama’s basic ideology.
