Smoot-Hawley ... in a PorktheUS bill.... say it ain’t so... Obama pissing off the Europeans....
LOL... Hey OBAMA you are making it so that the world really hates us now....
I guess the toadies in the Obamedia will call this yet another “win” for Obama.
What a Pussy!
The guy is a dim bulb. He was probably told by one of his mysterious advisers that this would make him look like he was on the side of the “little people” and make him popular with the God and guns crowd he despises but fears. Fortunately, we’re smarter than he is, although that’s not saying much.
If I (a Dewars guzzling, parmazzan and brie eating patriot) can do without European goods until the US economy recovers, then so can Obama. He needs to tell them to (diplomatically, of course) kiss his ass.
Exactly how is it any of the Europeans’ damn business how the U.S. government spends U.S. taxpayers’ money? Screw them. Let them spend their own damn money on their own damn steel.
It might be nice for America to have a steel industry if it ever decides to build another tank or warship. It might also be nice to have some manufacturing jobs in the U.S.
That may be the case, but I think one of the biggest factors in what is happening already in his administration is that he has an over simplified world view. This is true, in my opinion, of many liberals. “If we are nice to them they will be nice to us and stop hating us.” “All those who have less have less because they are victims, and they need the government to help them.” “If we just ask people to buy American, they will and this will result in a massive increase in dollars spent in the USA.”, Workers are all well-intentioned Bob Cratchits and owners are generally Scrooge-like”. The world is a lot more complex than that, and no single person or single group of persons has all the answers. Sadly, that is a lesson that the Harvard, Yale, Princeton etc. crowd just doesn't get. They have a very limited world view, even though there are a lot of very capable and smart people in those institutions. Ironic, but true. As an aside, if Obama wants to have a successful administration he should start picking advisors from a much wider distribution of society. So far many of the people he's picked are ideological clones. Just my opinion.
Hope and Change. Step right up ...
My uncle who owned a tool and die was buying steel from overseas......40 years ago.
DumbObama is a hilarious loser and he’s going to be one huge FAILURE.
The Obamanation opened up Pandora’s box by writing into the bill that the stimulus had to be directed to American companies. What he should have done is what the Europeans do: Bring antitrust charges against any foreign company that is a competitive threat to American business, and then the only companies left to bid are American companies.
Please, please, please bring on the trade war. I want to see various countries around the world complain to the WTO about the “Stimulus” bills and I want to see DumbObama have to deal with problem after problem. They will fail because, even if they were to stumble on the cause of the problems, they would never figure out the right solution.
Please let it get worse for the Obamessiah.
The education of Hussien continues, and will take a long time.
BTW, the Dem’s wrote the bank bailout bill. Hussien supported the bailout bill.
These guys have zero creditbility with respect to making corrections and revisions
>> Barack Obama to dilute ‘Buy American’ plan after Europe threatens US with trade war
We need to trade with our friends oversees.
I did not expect either Obama or the GOP to stand up for the USA and tell the EU to bleep off..
So the House Pubbies will have to vote again?
