Obama says he wants the US to be the best place in the world to do business. If that were to happen all of the rest of his concerns would simply disappear as there would be huge competition for labor and labor wages would rise. Frankly, I do not believe a word he says!

There is no conflict between the goals you mention. The Left wants you to believe there is a conflict to give them a wedge for attacking Capitalism. Any CEO who only worries about the next quarter's profits will not last. Long term is where you make the money. In order to do that you need to keep everyone happy. As much as you would like to say, "damn everyone else and full speed ahead," the world doesn't work that way. You need to keep: Stockholders Employees (perhaps tied, 2nd and 3rd) Customers (perhaps tied, 2nd and 3rd) Vendors Communities in which they operate All of the above happy in order to maximize your profits. Just realize the reason you do it to achieve number one.
