Obama: I Want An Economy "Where We're Making Stuff And Selling Stuff And Moving It Around" | RealClearPolitics

Interesting grasp on economics. Even more interesting that UPS gets the product placement nod instead of/without Fedex.
Yes, I'm bored.

Uhhhh...Maybe, it was because he was speaking at a UPS facility in LAS? Just a guess.

I'm sorry about screwing up this thread with some facts...no one said Fedex didn't have any facilities in LAS did they? He was speaking at a UPS facility, that's probably why he mentioned UPS...

Obama speaks at Las Vegas UPS facility

Its called playing to the crowd, and both Democrats and Republicans do it...

Obviously you missed the sarcasm of my post. No facilities in NV, really?

Should have put in one of these

I think the President was misquoted. What he was saying is that he's tired of his UPS package car driver dropping the First Family's stuff off at the wrong entrance of his home. A very common mistake.. He then went on to say that he was glad that that FedEx courier who had thrown a large screen TV over the fence hadn't done it to his TV, or he would have had to have him terminated with extreme prejudice. Otherwise the article was right on.
