Obama Enlisting Business Support
for Spending, Debt Plans

U.S. President Barack Obama is asking prominent business leaders to help
resolve contentious spending and debt issues facing the country.
Mr. Obama met Wednesday in Washington with the Business Roundtable, whose members
include executives from some of the biggest American corporations, including
the Exxon Mobil oil conglomerate,
the Boeing aircraft company and the Coca-Cola beverage firm.
The American leader asked the corporate
leaders to lobby Congress to approve a spending plan for the year starting
October 1, to keep the government from a partial shutdown, and to increase the
country's $16.7 trillion borrowing limit so the U.S. does not default on its
financial obligations.
"It is going to be important
for all of you, I think, over the next several weeks to understand what's at
stake and to make sure that you are using your influence in whatever way you
can to get back to what used to be called regular order around here, doing
things in a way that reflect the genuine, messy negotiations of democracy, but
do not promise apocalypse every three months."
Mr. Obama, a Democrat, and his
Republican opponents in Congress are at odds over the size of the government's
budget for the upcoming year, spending priorities and the debt limit. Some
conservative lawmakers are trying to end funding for Mr. Obama's signature
health care reforms that are taking effect in the coming months in exchange for
agreeing to a spending plan and debt limit increase.
But the president and his
Democratic colleagues in Congress have rejected efforts to overturn the health
care law, leaving the two parties at a stalemate.
Ahead of the meeting with Mr.
Obama, Boeing's president, James
McNerney, said the business leaders are not taking sides in the Washington political
dispute over the government's finances.
McNerney said, "We want
compromises to be found."
