Obama urges Congress to pass small business aid
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is asking Congress to pass legislation to help small business get loans and create jobs.
After meeting at the White House with Democratic and Republican leaders, Obama predicted lawmakers will have a “busy agenda going forward.”
Obama says they also discussed the Gulf oil spill, overhauling financial regulations, passing a supplemental war spending bill, reducing annual deficits and moving the energy bill. Obama was discussing energy later Thursday in a separate meeting with industry experts and business leaders, including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
