Buffett defends Coke decision ... and ObamaMay 3, 2014: 12:44 PM ET
The Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting in Omaha on Saturday started as it always does ... with some good clean fun.
But investors grilled Berkshire CEO (BRKA) (BRKB) Warren Buffett and vice chairman Charlie Munger about Coca-Cola, President Obama and succession plans, among other issues, once the question and answer session started.
Buffett was mobbed by the media and investors on the exhibit hall floor as he chowed down on some Dairy Queen for breakfast. The Oracle challenged shareholders -- and Microsoft (MSFT) co-founder Bill Gates -- to a newspaper toss outside a mock home from Berkshire's Clayton Homes builder subsidiary. (Party like it's 1899 ... no iPads, Kindles or Surfaces here!)
Then there was the Berkshire movie: a mix of hokey entertainment (an animated ice hockey team with Buffett, Charlie Munger, Gates and Geico CEO Tony Nicely being coached by Berkshire insurance guru/often-rumored Buffett successor Ajit Jain was cute), ads for the various Berkshire-owned brands (the Geico camel was in full Hump Day mode) and nostalgic looks back at prior meetings.

Before the question and answer session, Buffett noted that the company's insurance business now has a $77 billion float that the company can use to invest. So he was not concerned about the decline in underwriting income from the insurance business during the first quarter.
He also said that Berkshire's Class A and Class B shareholders both overwhelmingly rejected a proposal for the company to pay a dividend.
But after that was done, it was time for the shareholders to get their chance to talk directly to Buffett and Munger. And many of the questions were pretty tough.
The first question was about why Berkshire chose to abstain from voting against the Coca-Cola (KO) executive compensation plan that Buffett later described as "excessive." The shareholder described Buffett's lack of a vote as "un-Buffett like behavior."
Buffett defended the abstention, saying that he talked with Coke CEO Muhtar Kent about the plan and felt that his message got across. He added that he did not "want to go to war" with Coke.
But Buffett was later asked about why his son Howard, who is a member of Coke's board, voted in favor of the executive compensation plan. The shareholder said he was worried about how Howard, who Warren has tapped to eventually become a non-executive chairman of Berkshire, could be trusted to carry on the legacy and culture of the company.
Warren Buffett danced around the issue. He simply said that board members of public companies have to pick their battles. It was a curious dodge though given that his son did not take the same stance as his father. Howard could have abstained like his dad.
There were other questions about the various succession plans that Berkshire needs to have. One shareholder wondered why Buffett suggested that in his will, he wants cash to be put in a trust for his wife that will have 90% of its assets put in a S&P 500 index fund instead of Berkshire stock. Is that a sign that Buffett is concerned about who will replace him?

Buffett said that was not the case. He noted that he's given several charitable foundations instructions not to sell Berkshire stock that he's donating to them until they absolutely have to. He added that his wife will be just fine no matter where her money is invested and that the S&P 500 is a safe bet. "This is about peace of mind." he said.
Another investor asked about succession plans for Munger, who just turned 90. Buffett joked he was happy to see how well Munger was handling his "middle age" years. He added that the new Berkshire CEO should have a person like Munger to work closely with.
"Berkshire is better off with the two of us working together," Buffett said. "There is no question about it."
There was also a charged question from a shareholder about the direction of the economy and whether Buffett could talk to President Obama (who Buffett has publicly supported) about how to get it back on track. Buffett politely declined to get into a debate on politics, only saying that he disagreed that America was on the wrong path.
Related: Warren Buffett is still a pretty good investor
Buffett noted that corporate earnings are growing nicely under Obama and that the stock market has had a great run.
Munger, who is a Republican, didn't wade into the political debate. But he did take offense to a question about why Berkshire's book value growth failed to top the S&P 500's over the past five years. The class B shares, after all, are trading near an all-time high.
"If this is failure, I want more of it," Munger said to a thunderous round of applause.

I recently started teaching myself C++ from varrious tutorials and books, and once I felt I had a decent understanding of syntax, input, output and classes, I figured I'd try to write a basic text adventure console app.
The class definition seems to work fine, but I keep getting a "multiple definition" error on the testRoom instance I create, despite the fact that it's only created once.
At first I thought I might be calling the file twice (I'm keeping the list of rooms in a separate header file), but that is not the case. I've looked online and can't seem to figure out what is wrong with it...
roomDef.cppCode:/* Name: Text Adventure Copyright: None Author: Timothy Sassone Date: 14/02/09 22:42 Description: A basic text adventure engine, written to practice basic C++ skills. */ #include <iostream> #include <vector> //I plan on using a vector to hold the rooms #include <string> #include "roomDef.cpp" #include "roomListing.cpp" int main() { bool quit = 0; while(quit==0) { //Main loop quit=1; } return 0; }

With many of today's wireless devices being Bluetooth technology-enabled, especially common electronics like smart phones, tablets, laptops and computers, it made perfect sense for Tivoli Audio to add this important capability to our most popular portable radio, the PAL.
Before the PAL came along, portable audio usually meant poor sound. Not so with PAL BT. Thanks to Bluetooth wireless technology's advanced A2DP profile, combined with the PAL BT's trademark equalization, you'll never tire of hearing your music.
And since Bluetooth wireless technology is wireless, you won't have to dig out an audio cable for your enabled-device every time you want to listen to your music through the PAL BT. But don't worry, the Auxiliary input is still on board, along with the Headphone output, so you can continue to connect those "old fashioned" wired devices.
True portability requires portable power, and that's where the PAL BT's NiMH battery pack comes in. It's environmentally friendly, has no memory, and fully charges in about 3 hours. Since it provides up to 16 hours of cordless playback, you can spend more time listening and less time searching for a power outlet.
Our most popular portable radio just made a lot of new friends.

Photography lives only when it is viewed.
When approaching Bartek's paintings, I am still convinced that the dialogue is conducted through a shout. Despite their starkness and exceptional design simplicity, photographs still affect people and the problems they face when building their identity. They are filled with references to places and time spent in solitude, necessary for trying to understand the meaning of life as well as humanity's place in the space that it's been given. Observations of the landscape, filled with light, often before sunrise, reveal the singular atmosphere of a unique interconnection of lines, planes, laced with fog and swathed by a light wind, and in this, our thoughts and feelings, resulting from sensitivity and experience. The necessity of reaching out to other people with such images is relentless. Most importantly it will result in the transformation of the viewers, as it comes from the enormous power of peace, order and depth of the human heart, overflowing on to a flat sheet of photosensitive paper. Though not easy, there is no turning back from the necessary steps in giving up what is mine, in favour of what is ours. It's the second decade of the twenty-first century, there are almost no limits in how to reach hundreds, thousands or even millions of recipient through each of our spaces of consciousness. We are ready for it, just as ready and perfect as the works of Bartek.

Grundfos cooling pumps are ideal for circulating refrigerants in applications with temperatures below 0°C. Efficiently, reliably and without deviating from the set temperature.
While a standard single-stage centrifugal pump efficiently handles brine and glycol, a multistage centrifugal pump has been optimised specially to cater for more hazardous and high pressure demanding refrigerants like carbon dioxide and ammonia.
The multistage pump can be supplied with magnetic coupling (MAGdrive) or canned motor that efficiently eliminates any risk of dangerous leakage and in turn ensures perfectly safe work environments.
Moreover, the ability to circulate carbon dioxide allows the dedicated Grundfos pump to contribute to a greener world. Particularly in third world countries where resources are sparse it makes sense to be able to use a natural refrigerant like carbon dioxide rather than producing costly synthetic refrigerants.
On top of our extensive line of high-quality pumps for primary refrigerants, Grundfos also offers a dedicated range of pumps for secondary refrigerants, operating flawlessly in temperatures as low as -60°C. Naturally all refrigeration solutions can be customised to match individual requirements.
Secondary refrigerants require circulation at very low temperatures.
Grundfos offers a special coolant pump capable of handling liquid temperatures down to -40°C.
Critical cooling processes may require that the temperature does not deviate.
By applying a Grundfos speed-controlled pump the temperature is held constant.
|High viscosity or liquid density of the refrigerants can cause motor overload, which potentially leads to downtime.
Grundfos offers oversize motors that can easily handle viscosity and density.
Installations with varying temperatures risk creating water condensation in the motor at standstill.
Grundfos offers integrated motor heaters to completely avoid condensation.
|Toxic or malodorous coolants like ammonia must be handled by completely reliable pumps to prevent leakage that may damage equipment or people.
Grundfos offers completely leak-free pumps for hazardous media, ensuring that the liquid cannot escape its closed circuit.
Flammable coolants must be handled extremely carefully and professionally.
Grundfos offers a range of pumps designed for efficient operation in explosive environments. The pumps naturally comply with the ATEX directive.
Energy consumption is important to your customer.
|Grundfos high-efficiency E-solutions significantly reduce energy consumption by automatically adjusting pump performance to the actual need. Naturally, the E-solutions meet all international efficiency standards.
Stock management is made difficult due to the global differences in voltages and frequencies.
|Grundfos E-solutions feature dual frequency and a wide voltage range, allowing you to use the same solution all over the world. Naturally, the E-solutions carry all necessary electrical approvals.
- Grundfos offers a wide range of pumps, which comply with the ATEX directive.

Think that piece of chocolate cake is 'bad,' but the spinach is 'good?' The bacon is 'naughty' but the tomato 'just dandy?'
You may be surprised to learn the idea of good and bad foods has no place in your overall approach to a healthy diet. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, that idea is overly simplistic and may actually foster unhealthy eating behaviors. According to a recent study, 82 percent of adults questioned said they wouldn't give up favorite foods to eat healthier.
In its newly updated position paper, 'Total Diet Approach to Healthy Eating,' the emphasis is more on moderation, appropriate portion size and physical activity than individual foods, with individual preferences, genetic and cultural backgrounds most critical to successful dietary improvements.
'In reality, if the diet doesn't fit with your lifestyle and unique needs, it won't work in the long-term and can even leave you missing out on the nutrition you need to get you through the day,' says Jim White, registered dietitian and Academy spokesman.
Many factors, such as family and career, have to be incorporated into healthy eating, says Brian Miller, a registered dietitian in Fort Collins, Colo. 'There's no blanket approach that works for everyone. Some people don't cook, for instance, so their needs are different from someone who is at home in the kitchen. For others, ethnicity and culture are important. But, it's hard to give up the foods we grew up with, even though they may not be the healthiest.
'You want to take a total approach to eating healthy,' he says. 'There has to be flexibility and accommodations for lifestyle and any chronic conditions you have, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and others.'
He agrees there are no good and bad foods. 'You have to learn how to work what you enjoy into your diet,' he says. 'For instance, I grew up on pizza and I still incorporate it into my life. My wife and I have a 4-year-old boy and pizza is our Friday night special. We order it in, make it ourselves or go out for it, but we have it.'
Too many people approaching a change in their diet set up extreme expectations for themselves, Miller says.
'You can't live in a box -- there are relationships and events you're a part of where food is important. When I sit down with a client, we discuss realistic goals,' he says. 'You can't say that on Monday morning you're going to cut out certain foods, change everything you do and lose 'x' amount of weight by a certain date. That just sets you up for failure.
'The first few months are always the toughest, so I encourage people to take baby steps and meet one goal at a time.'
Those goals shouldn't be obstacles that cause you to give up. 'It's not realistic to think you can lose 20 pounds in one month. We recommend losing 1-2 pounds per week,' he says. 'Losing too fast doesn't allow your body time to adjust. Instead, you go into starving mode and your body craves more calories to survive.'
Miller says it's unfortunate that learning about good nutrition isn't part of our life early on. 'We learn to read and write and do math, but one of the most important parts of our everyday life -- eating -- is something that doesn't seem to matter,' he says. 'We're still learning about the interaction of food and health. If we could figure out that balance early in life, we'd save ourselves a lot of worry and regret.'
Family time at meals is an important part of healthy eating, Miller believes. 'I grew up in a family that had meals together and now my wife and I share that experience with our son,' he says. 'We cook together -- it's a big part of our lives. It doesn't have to be a five-course meal; it's easy to throw some good ingredients into the crock pot. It's the eating together that counts.'
Lastly, Miller says it's important to partner with someone you can trust as you work toward a healthier lifestyle. 'You want someone who supports you and listens to you without judgment,' he says. 'You don't want the food police pointing fingers.'
Something For Everyone The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans calls for a healthy eating pattern that accommodates cultural, ethnic, traditional and personal preferences, food cost and availability:
Chinese: Stir-fried chicken and vegetables such as bok choy, snap peas, carrots and bean sprouts; brown rice and lychee fruit.
Italian: Minestrone with kidney beans for folate, fiber and protein; gnocchi with chopped vegetables such as spinach mixed into the dough, served with lycopene-rich tomato sauce.
Greek: Tzatziki sauce (low-fat yogurt, garlic and cucumber) served on pita sandwiches or as a dip with vegetables; and dolmas (grape leaves stuffed with ground meat, vegetables, rice, dried fruit and pine nuts).
Mexican: Jicama, peeled and sliced served on a salad with lime vinaigrette or chopped in salsa; gazpacho made with spinach or cucumbers.
Indian, Middle Eastern: Naan bread, fruit chutney, stir-fried greens or grilled pineapple as part of a chicken shish kabob.
Lifestyle eating Career: Keep single-serve packages of crackers, fruit, peanut butter, low-sodium soup or canned tuna in your desk; granola bars, peanut butter and crackers, fresh fruit and trail mix for eating on the run.
Athletes: Eat a light breakfast or snack before exercising, such as low-fat yogurt, graham crackers with peanut butter, a banana or cereal with low-fat milk.
Students: Combines protein and carbohydrates such as apples with peanut butter, carrots with hummus, hardboiled eggs and fruit, banana and yogurt, almonds with low-fat cheese. At the cafeteria, choose salads, but go easy on cheese, bacon, creamy dressings and high-calorie add-ons.
Families: Get the kids involved with a simple collection of quick and easy family favorites, featuring ingredients to be used for more than one meal -- cook extra grilled chicken for chicken salad or fajitas.
Vegetarian: Nutrient-rich beans are perfect in a vegetarian chili. Try a hummus-filled pita sandwich or veggie burger, pasta primavera, veggie pizza and tofu-vegetable stir-fry.

Third Road Safety Week, 1 to 7 May 2000
In October 1990 the First Road Safety Week in the UNECE Region was organized enabling UNECE member countries to launch simultaneous road safety campaigns with a common target and under a common slogan. This was followed in April 1995 by the Second Road Safety Week in the UNECE Region which targeted Young Road Users.
In view of the usefulness of these campaigns for many ECE member countries, the UNECE Inland Transport Committee, on the proposal of its Working Party on Road Traffic Safety (WP.1), decided to launch the Third Road Safety Week in the UNECE Region, to be held from 1 to 7 May 2000.
This time the common target chosen is Vulnerable Road Users, which includes children, the elderly, the disabled, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and other road users who are highly exposed to the risk of road accidents. The common slogan of the Third road Safety Week is "Partnership on the Road Increases Safety". This is to indicate that the improvement of road safety in general and more particularly the safety of vulnerable road users requires the concerted action of all concerned, be it Governments, national and international public and private organizations, road users themselves or the public at large.
I should like to invite all ECE member Governments, international and national organizations and other partners to take an active part in this Third Road Safety Week in order to take up the challenge of reducing substantially the number of people who are killed or injured every year on our roads.

Litchfield County braces for extreme cold
Wind child advisory in effect
With temperatures across the state expected to dip below 10 degrees overnight for the next several days, state officials are gearing up to help make sure residents stay warm during the cold snap.
Gov. Dannel Malloy has instructed the Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS), the Department of Social Services (DSS) and the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) to work with 2-1-1 and Connecticut shelters to make sure residents are protected.
"Overnight temperatures are expected to range from 0 to 10 degrees over the next several days," Malloy said. "Factor in the wind chill, and it will feel like 0 to -15 degrees. We are taking steps now to make sure that we can take care of those in need of shelter.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory for Northern Litchfield County, including Torrington, that lasts from 7 p.m. Tuesday night to noon Wednesday. Meteorologists with the NWS say wind chills will dip below -15 degrees Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning.
The NWS says the wind chill could reach -20 degrees at times, and warned that venturing out into the cold could result in frostbite and hypotermia.
"Limit areas of exposed skin ... (and) dressing in warm layers can help protect you against the cold," the weather service advises. "Limit time outdoors if possible. Make sure you wear a hat and gloves."
Malloy said he is "encouraging local communities to consider opening warming centers or other facilities to help people in need."
The state's "Severe Cold Weather Protocol", activates a communications network that allowed state, regional and local officials to coordinate and share information, as well as monitor shelter capacity throughout the state.
The National Weather service forecasts that temperatures will remain frigid through the weekend, with snow possible Friday night into Saturday. The chance of precipitation is 70 percent Friday night, according to the NWS.

Movement Disorders
Millions of people in the United States suffer from movement disorders. The team of experienced medical professionals at Penn State Neuroscience Institute works with each patient to improve symptoms, reduce pain and find cures.
- Care at Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
- Groups, Classes & Support
- Research & Clinical Trials
- Symptoms, Diagnosis & Outlook
Care at Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
What are movement disorders?
Movement disorders are a group of neurological (brain and nerve) conditions that affect a person's ability to control movements. There are many different types of movement disorders.
Neurological expertise at Penn State Health
Movement disorders can be difficult to diagnose accurately. The neurologists at Penn State Neuroscience Institute perform a comprehensive physical and neurological (brain and nerves) examination to diagnose your condition. Our team of experts works together with you to create the most effective treatment plan.
We also have a team of researchers who are working to understand the underlying causes of movement disorders in order to develop new and better treatments.
Diseases we treat
Movement disorders we treat include:
- Dystonia
- Essential tremor
- Huntington disease
- Parkinson disease
- Tourette syndrome
- Wilson disease
Treatments we offer
Treatment varies by disorder. Medicine can cure some disorders, while other conditions improve when the underlying disease is treated.
Often there is no cure. In this case, the goal of treatment is to improve symptoms and relieve pain.
If medicines fail, our neurosurgeons can also offer surgical options.
Some treatments we offer include:
- Botulinum toxin
- Baclofen pumps
- Deep brain stimulation
Groups, Classes & Support
Support groups provide an opportunity to share your feelings and connect with other parents and caregivers who are experiencing similar struggles.

Symptoms, Diagnosis & Outlook
Uncontrollable movements include many types of movements that you cannot control. They can affect the arms, legs, face, neck or other parts of the body.
Examples of uncontrollable movements are:
- Loss of muscle tone (flaccidity)
- Slow, twisting or continued movements (chorea, athetosis or dystonia)
- Sudden jerking movements (myoclonus, ballismus)
- Uncontrollable repetitive movements (asterixis or tremor)
Parkinson disease
Parkinson disease causes certain brain cells to die. These are the cells that help control movement and coordination. The disease leads to shaking (tremors) and trouble walking and moving. Parkinson disease is also called paralysis agitans and shaking palsy.
Symptoms of Parkinson disease
Symptoms may be mild at first. For instance, you may have a mild tremor or a slight feeling that one leg is stiff and dragging. Symptoms may affect one or both sides of the body.
General symptoms may include:
- Problems with balance and walking
- Rigid or stiff muscles
- Muscle aches and pains
- Low blood pressure when you stand up
- Stooped posture
- Constipation
- Sweating and not being able to control your body temperature
- Slow blinking
- Difficulty swallowing
- Drooling
- Slowed, quieter speech and monotone voice
- No expression in your face (like you are wearing a mask)
Movement problems may include:
- Difficulty starting movement, such as starting to walk or getting out of a chair
- Difficulty continuing to move
- Slowed movements
- Loss of small hand movements (writing may become small and difficult to read)
- Difficulty eating
Symptoms of shaking (tremors):
- Usually occur when your limbs are not moving; this is called resting tremor
- Occur when your arm or leg is held out
- Go away when you move
- May be worse when you are tired, excited or stressed
- Can cause you to rub your finger and thumb together without meaning to (called pill-rolling tremor)
- Eventually may occur in your head, lips, tongue and feet
Other symptoms may include:
- Anxiety, stress and tension
- Confusion
- Dementia
- Depression
- Fainting
- Memory loss
Outlook for Parkinson disease
Medicines can help most people with Parkinson disease. How well medicines relieve symptoms and for how long, can be different in each person.
If not treated, the disorder gets worse until a person is totally disabled. Parkinson disease may lead to a decline in brain function and early death.
Parkinson disease may cause problems such as:
- Difficulty performing daily activities
- Difficulty swallowing or eating
- Disability (differs from person to person)
- Injuries from falls
- Pneumonia from breathing in saliva or from choking on food
- Side effects of medicines
Essential tremors
Essential tremors are a common movement disorder. The condition affects approximately one in five people over the age of 65.
The tremors (shaking) are unintentional, somewhat rhythmic muscle movements. Patients commonly complain of tremors when eating, drinking and writing. This condition is worsened by stress, fatigue, caffeine and some medications.
The disease affects areas of the brain that control movement, but the exact cause of the tremor is unknown.
Many people associate essential tremors with Parkinson disease, but these two conditions differ. Essential tremor patients experience the tremor symptoms while using their hands, while Parkinson disease patients experience the tremor symptoms mainly while their hands are at rest.
Tests and diagnosis of essential tremors
There is no specific test to diagnose essential tremors. Diagnosing is a matter of taking careful medical history, performing neurological (brain and nerve) examinations, and ruling out other conditions.
Neurological exams may include:
- Tendon reflexes
- Muscle strength and tone
- Ability to feel certain sensations
- Postures and coordination
Laboratory tests are also used to rule out thyroid disease and medication side effects.
Treating essential tremors
There is no sure cure for essential tremors. Patients with mild symptoms may not require any treatment.
In many cases, medications and physical measures can help control the tremors. Your neurologist will work with you to determine the proper medication and dosages. Helpful physical measures might include adding weights to hands and using heavy utensils.
If your symptoms are more severe and medicine doesn't help control the tremors, surgery may be an option. Deep brain stimulation is a surgical procedure in which a neurosurgeon implants a neurostimulator to stop the tremors.
Although an essential tremor is not life threatening, it becomes harder to perform daily tasks. People with essential tremors often lose the ability to do tasks like driving or going to work. These tremors also become embarrassing for some people. Essential tremors tend to worsen over time. It's important to seek treatment to improve your quality of life.

A collection of scholarly works about individual liberty and free markets. A project of Liberty Fund, Inc.
The English Revolution (also called the Engish Civil War) was a period of armed conflict and political turmoil between 1642 and 1660 which pitted supporters of Parliament against the Crown, the trial and execution of Charles I, the replacement of the monarchy with the Commonwealth of England (1649-1653), the rise of Oliver Cromwell to a virtual military dictatorship, and the eventual restoration of the monarchy. The ultimate outcome of the Revolution was the discrediting of the idea of the divine right of kings, the belief that parliament was supreme in political matters, and that the English monarch had to rule in a manner which was limited by a constitutional agreement (i.e. the idea of a constitutional monarchy).
The period of the Revolution was important in the development of ideas about liberty as the temporary collapse of censorship in the early 1640s saw an outpouring of political pamphlets in which groups like the Levellers advocated a theory of liberty based upon indivual rights, especially the right of self-ownership and private property. Parliament was free to debate important matters like the rule of law, strict limits on the power of the king, the liberty of the press, and religious freedom. Although the Revolution produced a military dictator in the form of Cromwell and ultimately led to the restoration of the Stuart monarchy, it did create the foundation for a new kind of monarchy which was quite different from the "absolute" monarchies which dominated the rest of Europe. Particularly after 1688, the monarchy which emerged in Britain was one limited by a constitution. It also created a body of ideas which were to be very influential in the development of Anglo-American political and constitutional thought in the 18th century.

Obama: US, Vietnam talk trade, human rights
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Thursday that he and Vietnam's president are committed to completing a regional trade agreement by year's end, saying it will create jobs and boost investment in the Asia-Pacific region and in both countries.
Obama said he and Truong Tan Sang also had a "very candid conversation" about Vietnam's human rights record. Sang put it a little more bluntly, saying through a translator that "we still have differences on the issue."
Human rights activists say Sang should not have been given the "diplomatic reward" of an Oval Office visit, which included remarks to media from both countries, because of the arrests of dissidents and other abuses in the Southeast Asian nation. Sang's visit to the U.S. is just the second by a Vietnamese head of state since the former foes resumed relations in 1995.
Across the street from the White House, dozens of activists assembled in Lafayette Park protesting the visit and called on Obama to put human rights in Vietnam before trade.
Trade is the first issue Obama said he and Sang had discussed.
Washington is negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, with Vietnam and 10 other Asia-Pacific nations. It would be the largest free-trade agreement ever, including countries that make up about 40 percent of world trade.
U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman, who met with Sang this week, told a House committee last week that finalizing the agreement by the end of the year, as the Obama administration wants, is "ambitious" but "doable."
Both Obama and Sang face domestic pressure to deliver stronger economic growth. Obama said the pact could help.
"We're committed to the ambitious goal of completing this agreement before the end of the year because we know that this can create jobs and increase investment across the region and in both of our countries," Obama told the media, which was invited into his office after the meeting, which lasted more than an hour.
Before arriving in the U.S., Sang told The Associated Press that American concerns over his country's record on human rights shouldn't hinder the closer military and economic ties desired by the two nations.
Obama said he emphasized to Sang during their meeting the United States' belief that all countries must respect people's right to basic freedoms, including expression, religion and assembly.
"We had a very candid conversation about both the progress that Vietnam is making and the challenges that remain," he said.
Sang said he invited Obama to come to Vietnam and that Obama said he'd "try his best" to visit before leaving office in 2017.
Obama said the meeting was a sign of the "steady progression and strengthening of the relationship" between the countries following a complex history that includes the Vietnam War. He said they are creating a "comprehensive partnership" to pursue deeper cooperation in a range of areas, including trade, commerce, security and other issues.
Obama also said Sang shared with him a copy of a letter sent by Ho Chi Minh to President Harry Truman, and that he and Sang talked about the fact that the leader of the Vietnamese nationalist movement was inspired by the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the words of Thomas Jefferson.
"Ho Chi Minh talks about his interest in cooperation with the United States," Obama said. "And President Sang indicated that even if it's 67 years later, it's good that we're still making progress."
