Seems like the working poor and lower middle class are being left out of this year's recovery summer.

[Repeal The 17th]

And just whose a$$ was this half a billion dollars pulled out of?

Seems like you could cut regulation and the free trade nonsense and companies would build it themselves.

“Obama Pledges $500 Million To Reinvent U.S. Manufacturing”

Stupidity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Obama’s government is so smart that a mere $500 MM will reinvent and reinvigorate the manufacturing economy. What hubris!

Every day, in every way, our government comes up with new and ever more imaginative ways to waste money.

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

Hey Obama, how about if you just get out of the way.

[plangent]

What’s with this “partnership” thingy?

Any time the gubmint is a partner, it controls. It regulates. It redirects efforts to its own aim.

AMP is destined to be a waste of money achieving only gubmint ends with little private benefit.

[silverleaf]

did Barky announce his brilliant plan before or after he blamed ATM machines and ticket kiosks for high unemployment?

$500 million to reinvent U.S. manufacturing. $8.5 billion to ACORN. I’m glad that we have our priorities straight.

[count-your-change]

If he’ll give me a million I’ll see what I can do to help. I’ll even throw in some promises.

[Waverunner]

Great, if manufacturing didn't have enough problems competing against Chinese slave labor, now the Government of Obama is here to help. $500,000,000 = 20 new union jobs in Michigan and Ohio.

[eeriegeno]

What? Has he invented the ‘disassembly line’??????

[Tex-Con-Man]

Holy crap!

Obama is a one man bureaucratic boondoggle jihad.

[GnuHere]

So which unions’ pockets is this largesse falling into?
Just stop it, Bambi.

[Hoodat]

Here's what happened the last time manufacturing was re-invented by government:

[BillyBonebrake]

The “American Century” to which Zero refers owed much to inexpensive, domestic energy. Without that ingredient we’re just treading water.

[IMR 4350]

Reinvent manufacturing?

Unification of govt and business?

What a brilliant idea.

Why didn't somebody think of this before?

What are we going to call this “NEW” idea of unification of govt and business?

Oh! I’ve got an idea for a really catchy name that I bet will catch on.

Let's call it National Socialism, Nazism, or just Nazi for short.

Yeaaaaaaaa!

He sure seems to be introducing a lot of crap lately for optics. Someone needs to step up and tell him to tighten his belt and stop being so thrifty with the people’s money.
