Why does he say he is against offshore jobs, yet praise Apple for being an innovator??? Apple makes all their products in China with $17 a day in wages (per recent NYTIMES article).
And I have yet to hear how the US Government has the authority to tax a business who moves overseas..

We either need to take a serious look at our regulatory environment and laws in comparison with international laws and either bring our standards in line to become more competitive or impose tariff's to bring international goods up to true cost when imported into the USA. Otherwise we will need to accept lower standards of living for everyone.
My thoughts exactly. The hypocricy is amazing but some people who think he "hit it out of the aprk" with this speech are easily duped.
I see so many people waking up to the inconsistencies and I have a feeling that even the billion dollar war chest he has for campaigning won't do him any good.
Because they are not thinking and analyzing what he's actually saying...and said BEFORE.
Man... I made under 50k in 2011 and did my taxes last weekend.... I got back a whole $47 and owed the state $112. After all was said and done I did some simple math and I paid 22% of my income to taxes. I wonder what I did wrong? I could definitely go for that 10% or less right now.
Not federal taxes. Maybe with state taxes included, but not federal. At the standard deduction rate, the effective rate for a single filer earning $50,000 is about 15%.
Here we go again. Another cheerleading session before Congress. You'd think Congress would have learned some manners by now. I know it won't happen, but could Congress do something different this time? HOLD ALL APPLAUSE OR BOOS UNTIL AFTER THE SPEECH IS OVER! Stop the standing ovation after every sentence! Let the man speak! You, Congress, do this for every president. Enough of this BS!
This is not a knock against Obama. I said similiar things on this when GW was president.
>>> A knock on Obama is a knock on Bush, and vice versa. They're the same guy, policy wise.
You're obviously on a smart phone or a computer. You can watch it on either or those. Have a radio? Tune to AM, they will air it.
Its your country. It will only give back what you put into it.
I guarantee you sir that I have already put in more than my share, and I guarantee you I have given more to this country than you have ever dreamed of giving. I quit listening to this president two years ago when I realized he was only interested in entertaining his own pursuits and not the interest of the country. The only thing I want to hear from this president is his farewell speech..
In the olden days, shows such as the price is right, what's my line, the bozo show, there were very large lighted signs with the word "applause" on them, so the audience when seeing the sign lighted would applaud.
