Obama To Meet Business Leaders Friday
An administration official declined to identify the executives who will be joining Obama until Friday, but pointed out that the president's economic team and other officials have held more than two dozen meetings with business leaders. Last month, Obama had lunch with the CEOs of Honeywell International Inc. (HON), Coca Cola Co. (KO), Xerox Corp. (XRX) and AT&T Inc. (T).
In an interview this week with BusinessWeek, Obama pushed back on the notion that his agenda is anti-business and said he would like the corporate tax rate to be lower. It's unclear what specific issues will be discussed at Friday's lunch.
