PETERSBURG, Va. — President Obama spoke encouragingly Friday about the improving economy, including the tentative revival of the manufacturing sector, as he touted his record on a factory floor in this battleground for his re-election campaign.

Speaking to workers at an aircraft-parts manufacturing plant, Obama outlined progress made on his watch in the auto industry and other parts of the economy, holding up a February jobs report that White House officials called encouraging as evidence.

But he also hammered Congress, chiding lawmakers for moving slowly on what he said were important initiatives to improve the economy and educate the future workforce.

“America thrives when we build things better than the rest of the world,” he told a friendly audience of nearly 1,500 people here at the Rolls-Royce Crosspointe plant, set among stands of pines in the flatlands outside Richmond. “I want to make stuff here and sell it over there.”

0bama “I want to make stuff here”.

Hey you Kenyan douchebag? You’ve been making ‘stuff’ all over America, since you first started defecating in January 2009!

And using the Constitution for your toilet paper, you revolting swine.

For someone who is hailed as a “gneius”, Hussein certainly sounds stupid.

... and $100,000 cars ...

A six-figure Fisker Karma electrified sedan broke during Consumer Reports check-in period, before the magazine even could begin testing it, delivering another black eye to the struggling automaker.

at some point America will do basics which used to be called “natural growth”, for which Obama will try to take credit.

From the mouth of the worse President we have ever had. Remember this, he hasn’t done nothing but ruin this nation’s status since he has been in.

It's really bad when you look at the sentence and know you have made an error and you can't get it back. I guess there are worse things in life.

I am beginning to believe that you have ruined more keyboards (spewed coffee, soda, food items, and so on...) than any other poster in the history of Free Republic.

Good work!
