I'm listening to the radio, and they are playing bots of a speech as Obama makes it. They say it's being given at the Boeing assembly plant in Everett, WA. Obama has to stop and make a speech while on a campaign trip paid for by the taxpayers, so he can pretend it was an official function of the President rather than the fundraising trip it really is (done by both parties for generations).

But... at a BOEING plant?

Wasn't it Obama's administration that forbade Boeing from opening a new plant in South Carolina where workers aren't forced to join unions?

Wonder if he'll get booed...?

Oops, the speech just ended. It was VERY short.

I heard some of that one on Fox and it was just more of the same crap he spread at the new lock company facility last week. I bet we get real tired of that one over and over.

He's announcing expansion of Ex-Im financing by the federal government. It's one of the biggest crony capitalism/corporate welfare ploys out there.

OWS supporters, what do you have to say? Loud protest, or loud quiet????
