THE POLITICO reports that President Obama, during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, gave shout outs to a number of American companies in an effort to highlight the strength of the U.S. economy. Nearly all of those companies, it turns out, are big political spenders and have contributed heavily to Democrats. One of those companies was eBay, which Obama cited as an example of how “millions of Americans [are working] in jobs that didn’t even exist 10 or 20 years ago.” That now seems like an unfortunate choice, because less than 24 hours after Obama’s speech, eBay announced

Ha! That happens quite regularly. It’s much like Al Gore’s Global Warming presentations being snowed out so often.

Six years of constant attacks on capitalism and financial freedoms. Now, Obama wants to raise taxation — that should fix everything....

Obie at work....

If this had happened during a Bush SOTU, they would have announced during the speech, and the networks would have split-screened it along with that part of the speech in which the details of the great economy were being explained.

The Obama kiss of death strikes again.

Reality wastes no time witnessing against this pathological liar.

“Obama curse strikes again.”

Actually, eBay has been heading into suckland for over a decade. I can remember when I probably spent 20 hours a week on eBay (90s, early 2000s). Now I can’t remember that last time I was on there.

Never spent 20 hours a week there but did do the same thing. Ten years since I bought anything and about 5 years that I used it for a price check.

[SkyDancer]

It’s always a death knell when 0bama mentions a company ...

[Dick Vomer]

Once again the “Reverse Midas” touch by our dear leader.... everything he touches turns to sh#t

[Ingtar]

Cutting it off before revealing the number of layoffs was 2400? Either bad excerpting or blog pimping seems to be the cause.
