Speaking at Kent State University in Ohio on Wednesday, President Obama misspoke, stating, "I want to see us export more jobs." Quickly correcting his remark to be, "export more products," he joked, "I was channeling my opponent there for a second."

A simple "Sorry, I meant..." would have sufficed. It would have if liberals weren't such pathetic,classless pricks. Nothing is beneath them.

When Romney does it (and even when he DOESN’T) it’s a “gaffe” according to the media; when Bonzo does it, it’s merely “misspeaking”.

Barry....We are no longer the biggest manufacturer and Union wages keep our products too high priced and company taxes are too high.
And so......companies move overseas...

Blame Romney for Obama's mistakes? A simple "Sorry, I meant..." would have sufficed.
It was a tacky, "no class" move on Obama's part.
But that kind of simple admission of a mistake isn't the sort of thing politicians do, let alone try for something more gracious.
When in doubt they just attack the other side and their followers cheer.
Politics is a "no class," "no brain" business much of the time. That's why Obama fit in so well.

Google "obama middle finger" and look at how many images do not look doctored.
What he really thinks of us all -- in just one gesture.

There’s another factor in why companies are moving their production overseas. I’ve never seen it discussed, but I’ve been running smack into it the past several weeks.
I have been trying for more than 6 weeks to find a clothing manufacturer to produce my designs. I wanted to go with an American company, mainly out of principle. I’ve tried contacting at least a dozen companies, many of which even said in their advertising that they work with start-ups and small orders. In all those weeks, one message came back as undeliverable, and one wrote back saying they’re not set up for the materials I used.
The rest? Nothing. No reply. Not a peep, not a whisper.
Hey, US factory owners! If you refuse to talk to the people trying to hire you, THEY CAN’T HIRE YOU!!!!!!!!
I’m giving the last batch I tried until Friday to respond, and then I’m going to start looking overseas. How is a business supposed to run if all I’m getting from manufacturers is the silent treatment?

I guess none of those bright Kent State students asked him about the GM and GE jobs he is responsible for exporting?

Not much to comment on.

Nice editorial title. Maybe he didn't “misspeak”?
