President Barack Obama is announcing the creation of two Pentagon-led institutes, using public and private resources, to boost advanced manufacturing, help create jobs and perhaps build the next “Iron Man.”

Some days I think people just like to be the first to attack.
I’m not a fan of Obama giving money to anyone, not even us but most posters clearly don’t know what they’re talking about but have plenty to say.

Its mostly suburban with a median income of around $83,000. 72.2% White, 10.2% African American, 0.2% Native American, 14.1% Asian (8.0% Indian, 2.2% Chinese, 0.7% Filipino, 0.4% Korean, 0.3% Japanese, 0.3% Vietnamese, 2.2% Other Asian), 0.0% Pacific Islander, 0.7% from other races, and 1.91% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.1% of the population.

Yes they don't, it is a good community.
* Best Charter School in the State, Canton Charter, maybe the best grade school Period.
* Akea chose to put a store their, research what that means, it is big.
* Ice Dancing Capital of the World with Gold and Silver and 9th from one Rink in Canton, and other Olympian's training in other sports @ the gym @ that rink.
* A huge 3 campus High School with some sharp kids going to the likes of Stanford.
And that just scratches the surface...
Nothing in Fresno?
It’s been that way for quite a while. Defense contractors decide what the military should buy, and politicians make sure they do.
GE is @ both locations, hmmm....
A license plate factory. This dovetails nicely with his plan to release thousands of minority inmates from prisons.
Pay for play politics bump for later.......
It’s more of a graft and greed hub than anything else.
They didn’t say what they would be manufacturing.
Oh so sorry, I guess I missed and issue of right to work state weekly.
I was betting on it still being a union enclave. Glad to hear workers have the right to work.
Its a laundromat.
