Seems like the working poor and lower middle class are being left out of this year's recovery summer.

[Repeal The 17th]

And just whose a$$ was this half a billion dollars pulled out of?

[basil]

That’s a good question-—and I’m wondering why the president of MIT would know anything about manufacturing..................

Seems like you could cut regulation and the free trade nonsense and companies would build it themselves.

“Obama Pledges $500 Million To Reinvent U.S. Manufacturing”

Stupidity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Obama’s government is so smart that a mere $500 MM will reinvent and reinvigorate the manufacturing economy. What hubris!

Every day, in every way, our government comes up with new and ever more imaginative ways to waste money.

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

Hey Obama, how about if you just get out of the way.

[plangent]

What’s with this “partnership” thingy?

Any time the gubmint is a partner, it controls. It regulates. It redirects efforts to its own aim.

AMP is destined to be a waste of money achieving only gubmint ends with little private benefit.

did Barky announce his brilliant plan before or after he blamed ATM machines and ticket kiosks for high unemployment?

...like you could cut regulation and the free trade nonsense....

Reading this article, it looks like Obama is doing a fine job on the latter.

Exactly my thoughts.

$500 million to reinvent U.S. manufacturing. $8.5 billion to ACORN. I’m glad that we have our priorities straight.

[count-your-change]

If he’ll give me a million I’ll see what I can do to help. I’ll even throw in some promises.

[Waverunner]

Great, if manufacturing didn't have enough problems competing against Chinese slave labor, now the Government of Obama is here to help. $500,000,000 = 20 new union jobs in Michigan and Ohio.

[Son House]

Yes, partnership with this government is a buyer beware/remorse just waiting

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

And just whose a$$ was this half a billion dollars pulled out of?

[Son House]

Yes, but now he can say he did something while Republicans did nothing

[eeriegeno]

What? Has he invented the ‘disassembly line’??????

[Tex-Con-Man]

Holy crap!

Obama is a one man bureaucratic boondoggle jihad.
