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”.
巴拉克?奧巴馬(Barack Obama)總統一向認為,美國的成功有賴于商界的成功。他堅定地致力于采取必要舉措,來壯大我們的經濟、增強美國的競爭力。正因為這一點,3M公司首席執行官兼董事長喬治?巴克利(George Buckley)最近曾在英國《金融時報》上批評奧巴馬的言論,才會讓已在政府和商界浸淫數十年的我驚詫不已——巴克利把奧巴馬稱作一位“反商業”的總統。
