Master Lock prepares for Obama visit
Fox 11 ^ | 2/14/2012 | Ben Krumholz

Posted on 02/15/2012 2:40:29 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

President Barack Obama will return to Wisconsin for the first time in more than a year tomorrow.

Last month in his State of the Union Address, Obama highlighted Milwaukee padlock manufacturer Master Lock bringing 100 jobs back from China.

The company is now preparing for the President to see its work first hand.

“I'm really excited,” said John Heppner, Master Lock’s CEO. “We're all really excited. This is great for our employees and for our community.”

Next time I need a lock, I will go out of my way to not buy a Master Lock, since the CEO has his nose apparently rammed up Obama's butt.

This bullcrap "news" is being reported breathlessly in Miami Florida, too...the media EVERYWHERE is following orders to praise Comrade Obama.

Master Locks are surprisingly easy to pick and defeat.

There are other makers that are much, much, much harder to bypass. Or cut, for that matter.

Fellow manufacturing conglomerate, Orange Jumpsuit will be alongside Masterlock when they “greet” the president with a special welcome of their own.

Poor dope. John, it will be an inconvenience for your community and it will be bad for your employees because now they'll be selling fewer locks as a result of your goofy slavering over an Obama visit.

Most of the people we need locks to keep out are Obama supporters.

There is an uptick in lock sales.
That’s quite a feather in Obama’s cap.

100 jobs? Obama has sent millions of jobs to China. 20 years ago Almost all Chinese were living as they did 1000 years ago. Now by stealing U.S. technology and making all the high tech products we Americans use China is rising at 25% per year while the U.S. becomes the next Greece under Obama debt. Solution? Reduce government regulations, eliminate the EPA, and dont' trade with China and other countries. The U.S.A was rising when the U.S. didn't trade with China during the 40 years of the Cold war. The minute the U.S.A started Trading with China then the U.S. decline began.

No such thing as a pick-proof lock, but Medeco’s higher security locks use a unique locking system that’s as close to it as anyone’s come. More importantly, the tools to do so are extremely hard to come by and not available on the general market. Bit hard to find them - they’re generally only sold through some carefully vetted dealers. While Medeco started off as an American company and much of their production is still here, they are technically owned by some Scandinavians.

On more mass market options, Abus (to name one maker) has a 1-10 security scale and the higher level ones are significantly more resistant than Master Lock’s best though instead of seconds to pick it’s more like minutes.

Also as most on here say reduce government size and reduce welfare,pay down the debt,stop trade with China, and get rid of Obama the marxist.

Otherwise, soon , all of America will be worse than Detroit or Greece is.
