Officials said President Barack Obama will visit a western Pennsylvania steel plant after delivering this week's State of the Union address.

A White House spokesman said Sunday that the president will travel to U.S. Steel's Irvin plant in West Mifflin on Wednesday to deliver remarks on the economy.

The company said the Irvin plant produces sheet metal products from the steel slabs produced at the Edgar Thomson plant in Braddock.

Obama will also be visiting the Washington suburbs of Prince George's County, Md. on Wednesday and will go to Milwaukee and Nashville on Thursday.

Every time he visited he was very discreet, travelled during quiet traffic times.

That's when a POTUS should come in, if possible, to avoid any extra strain on the city.

What is he gonna do? Visit the next class of matriculating convicts there?

Maybe they have some gay bathhouses in Prince George's County ?

True, but I’m so tired of using the word hypocrite with Obama. Maybe I should. It’s the right fit - like peanut butter and jelly.

I believe he said 'piped'.

Although 'no coke' could be a deal breaker for Obama.

Summer 2014

U.S. Steel’s Irvin plant in West Mifflin, visited by President Obama in January, sent out pink slips to all employees and will close up for good after the July 4th weekend.

Obama, the anti-midas...everything he touches turns to shi’ite!

Still campaigning I see. I can see it now — obama giving a phony speech with a diverse group of workers standing behind him clapping adoringly. What a loser.

He hates steel and coal.

No. He hates the U.S.A., and the U.S.A. needs steel and coal.

Although ‘moron’ is widely used , I don’t believe that it is really applicable. He is not a moron. A moron cannot be cleverly devious. That takes planning and conspiring.
