Obama,”I’m going to fundamentally change America.” And he is..at least ‘til Sarah cleans up his mess.

I wish that all business would flee the blue states and leave them to sink in their own dung heap.

Maybe Houston? The Energy Capital, Nice tax structure, come on down. Be the next in the long line of people moving to where the market is good and free. Bring your money, leave the liberals behind.

We could see Rick Santelli, reporting on CNBC, from the floor of the Charleston Merc — in a facility originally built by Boeing but which they were forced to abandon thanks to Obama’s NLRB......

And Boeing should move their corporate HQ out of Chicago. I remember about 10 yrs ago when Boeing was deciding between Chicago and Dallas where to place their HQ (moving out of Seattle). They chose Chicago.

In retrospect, Boeing really blew it. Obama’s labor goons are suing them for opening their mfg plant in the Carolinas, Illinois is taxing all businesses to death or exodus, and Texas is, well, booming.

Boeing is pressing ahead with the opening of that assembly plant. I think that it opened today.

Not in the mood for a little tongue in cheek humor tonight? I realize Boeing is going ahead —

Houston and Dallas are in the same time zone.

Of course I am, and recognized it as such. Sorry for not acknowledging it. Didn’t know if you knew that the plant was operational.

They could come to Texas. We are business savvy.

I’ve read posts from people who say we’re not to judge Illinois by Chicago or what comes out of Chicago.

Does this apply here?

Plus we have two metro areas with major hub airports. It also helps that Texas is in the same time zone, so they could keep the same business hours they kept in Chicago.

And many of the traded commodities actually pass through Texas - something that can no longer be said of Chicago.
