President Barack Obama on Tuesday held up Alcoa’s aerospace aluminum plant in the Quad Cities as a bright spot in the U.S. economy. But Obama did not touch on the issues many business leaders wish he would address

Alcoa officials and business leaders dismissed an assertion from GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney earlier this week that a federal labor board’s actions could threaten jobs at the Alcoa plant in Iowa. “No, we don’t see that happening,” Alcoa spokesman Michael Belwood told The Des Moines Register just before President Barack Obama’s visit to Bettendorf Tuesday.
