Earlier today Barack met with some of the nation's top business leaders to discuss the challenges facing our economy. The meeting was part of a broader dialogue that Barack has undertaken over the two weeks with Americans of all walks of life, all across the country (including here, here, and here). Afterwards, he spoke to the press about some of the key issues that have been at the heart of all of these discussions, and noted that:
No matter who I've met with . . . my message has been the same: It's that the American economy is at its strongest when we have a common set of values that it reflects. When we reward not just wealth, but also work, and the workers who create it. Because what we've re-learned, in painful fashion over the past few months, is that Wall Street can't thrive so long as Main Street is struggling.
Barack went on to outline some of the key differences between himself and John McCain on energy policy and the economy:
