WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama says the nation's small businesses are responsible for half of the nation's private sector jobs and deserve support from Washington.
Obama on Tuesday welcomed winners of a Small Business Administration award to the White House's East Room. He said some of the nation's best businesses began as small ventures, such as Google and McDonald's.
Such businesses' impact goes beyond the economy, Obama said, adding that small business owners help strengthen local neighborhoods. Given everything a small business does for its community, the government should do its part to help leaders, he said.
It takes a special determined person to start a business, online or storefront, and work for nothing at times. Every business man or woman has a vision that they want people to feel and see. When people don't see that vision like the business person does, it can get discouraging... but the true business person presses on with their head up holding on to that light that keeps their brain spinning at night. Even the president recognizes that entrepreneurial spirit.. He knows that's what everybody comes to America for and that is the very foundation this country was based on.
