President Obama is going to give a speech on jobs at Intel, in Chandler, AZ. No doubt this location was selected because Intel is building a new $5 billion-plus factory there.

I wonder if he will mention ALL of the construction workers who were forced to take the day off without pay, because of his arrival?

This is the break that AMD has been waiting for!

Every time Obama visits a plant, it shutters in 6-12 months. Intel being visited by Obama is the kiss of death. Sell your stocks now.

Thanks for catching the typo. You're right. It should have said $5 billion-plus. I edited my original post.

So the work they couldn't do today will have to be done on another day, for which they'll be paid.
