The White House is still refusing to comment on Jimmy Hoffa’s profane, threatening warm-up speech before President Obama’s Labor Day gig in Detroit yesterday.

Billions of new, repeat, new dollars would be spent on this. That's a real stimulis. I wouldn't blame Boeing if they moved from Washington State to India. Now, that's something obama could support.
My what a wonderful way for the left to accept the grass root opposition? Gabby Giffords must really be proud of them!
