"If we're fighting to reform the tax code and increase exports, the benefits cannot just translate into greater profits and bonuses for those at the top. They have to be shared by American workers, who need to know that opening markets will lift their standard of living as well as your bottom line," Obama told the Chamber of Commerce on Monday morning.
The good news for Obama: the Chamber of Commerce broke into applause twice during his speech Monday morning to welcome his ideas.
The bad news: they clapped just twice, in a 35-minute address.
