Obama Urges Nations to Spend, Spend, Spend
Wednesday, March 11, 2009 11:18 AM
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama says other nations must sign on to
aggressive steps to jump-start their own economies, warning that without
global coordination U.S. actions could falter.
Obama told reporters after meeting Wednesday in the Oval Office with
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that continued deterioration in the
world economy is "going to set us back."
The president said his conversations with allies so far have been aimed
at laying the groundwork for a summit of advanced and developing nations
taking place in London early next month. Geithner is heading to Britain
this week for talks with finance ministers as a precursor to the
leaders' meeting later.
Obama said he is optimistic about the prospects for success at the G-20
summit.
CHANGE YOU CAN COUNT ON!!
