Obama visited my company today

Obama visited the company I work for, Master Lock, at the plant in Milwaukee. We just brought 100 jobs back from China to our plant, all union jobs. We were mentioned a couple of times in the State of the Union address for doing this, I guess he wanted to see for himself. I think this is on CNN today. Regardless of whether you agree with the Prez or not, it's pretty cool when he visits your plant and recognizes your company for bringing jobs back to the US.

 

i hope you know, but he's been the kiss of death to most every business he visits... cummins, solyndra, fisker, ...on and on...

 

Nice, Dave. Nice!

 

explain?

that would be cool, i would like to meet the president

 

This, I may not agree with him but still, he's the president.

 

i'm don't know anything about that, but we're going to have another kick ass year this year. we are at full capacity in the plant for the first time in 15 years. if the housing market would finally turn around, and if school budgets ever get restored, we will do even better.

 

If you like him or if you don't you passed up the oportunity to give the leader of the free world... the stink palm

what's to explain... a tragedy of irony, ...these companies (and the list is acutally much longer, but you get the point) either layed off employees, or when TU, after "visits"... his pet project was solyndra, which got a 1/2 billion dollar taxpayer-funded loan, went TU, ..bankrupt, sionara...

 

Btw keep making good shit My lock i use on my dingy (on a dock) survived 2 years in saltwater a hurricane and sand in the locking mech and still unlocks first shot everytime.

 

Meeting the prez is cool. I met W in a small town in south carolina before he won. I guess it was '99 or so.

 

i dont think he has done bad for our country. but i really didnt want him to win election in the first place.
i read somewhere that over 40% of his voters voted for him because he is black.
i would still love to meet any president reguardless if i hated him or not lol

 

Subd to see where this thread goes

 

x2

And OP keep making those kick ass locks you guys make!

 

+1
i agree they that they make good locks!

 

This is descending into politics, as expected. No political discussions on TW for a reason--it will get ugly if allowed to continue. Hopefully a mod will lock this thread before this thing explodes.

 

who was the last person you banned?

 

I thought as a mod you were supposed to ensure the forum rules are followed...?

 

And here we go
