WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said the U.S. message at this weekend's meeting of Group of 20 finance ministers will focus both on a call for action to spur global economic growth and to overhaul financial regulations.

"We've got two goals in the G20," Obama said during a meeting in the Oval Office with U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

"The first is to make sure that there is concerted action around the globe to jumpstart the economy. The second goal is to make sure that we are moving forward on a regulatory reform agenda."
