In a speech today to the Business Roundtable President Obama said there are challenges ahead and we cannot meet them by returning to business as usual.

Obama stepped on a few toes when he told Roundtable leaders, many planning to continue business as usual, we need to borrow less and produce more, generate more jobs here at home, and send more products overseas.

“As president of the United States, my interest is to reward leaders who have or are at least not disadvantage companies who are creating jobs and doing more business within the borders of this country,” Obama said. “That’s not anti business, it’s pro-American and I don’t apologize for it.”

He dismissed accusations that his current agenda would lead to socialism by reminding his audience that he is a president of the people with widely varying interest and needs, “We are all in this together,” he said.

Obama also congratulated Senate for coming together to pass a bill prior to his speech that will invest $15 billion to create more jobs in the United States through a series of tax incentives to businesses. Several Republicans broke party lines joining Democrats in a 70-28 vote.
