Your President Speaks!

Today, in Jacksonville, Florida.

Hot Action At The Docks

I've been in your stadium, I've been in your church -- I've never been on the docks. But if you're interested in trying to figure out one of the reasons why this is one of America's most vibrant cities, you got to come to the docks.

Cerbral Vortex

He's a fellow who came to America with a dream, and now employs a lot of good, hardworking folks because of goods that are shipped from here to other parts of the world, and for goods that are shipped from other parts of the world to here.

Find A Job, Crenshaw!

Two members from the United States Congress have come -- this must be a special occasion -- Ander Crenshaw, Congressman from this district, doing a find job.

Help Some People Find The Capacity And Understand

And it makes sense to help some person who is creditworthy find the capacity and understand where to refinance.

Are There Too Many Houses?

But no question there's been a over-supply of housing, and it's going to take time to work through this over-supply.

Washington-Speak

We also worked with Congress -- and I want to thank the members of Congress -- to pass a bipartisan economic growth package. That's Washington-speak for you're fixing to receive some money.

There Is Also Incentives

There's also incentives in this piece of legislation passed by both Republicans and Democrats that will encourage small and large businesses to invest.

Spending Research And Development

But there's a lot of research and development being spent here in America.

Doesn't Know Whether He Is Sitting Or Standing

I'm sitting in -- standing in front of people that are all part of the process, good, hardworking Americans that are putting food on the table for their families because of trade.

Synaptic Stutter

You handle most -- more than -- more automobiles than any American port.

Seeking Congressional Improval

The lesson is clear: If Congress can find a way to vote on and improve the Peru agreement, there's no reason it can't do the same for Colombia.

Think About Terms Of Helping

You can think in terms of national security interests, but if that doesn't interest you, think about terms of helping folks just like this make a living.

It Has The Support Of Congressmans!

Business leaders from many backgrounds, along with current and former senators, congressmans [sic], mayors, diplomats, national security council people, Cabinet members from both parties -- I emphasize, from both parties -- support this agreement.

What Export Is Doing

Export is continuing.

"I've never been on the docks..."

I would give back my allegedly-forthcoming-$300 to see his SORRY ASS IN THE DOCK - at The Hague, for sure!!!

Thank you,
Elspeth

We must be the only nation on the face of the earth with an oversupply of housing and an oversupply of homeless.

We may be quite used to the way Chimp Boy speaks, but when you really listen .... I mean listen as if for the first time ... you have to wonder what the hell is wrong with him. What a moron! And this on the same day that Obama gives one of the most eloquent and meaningful speeches on race ever delivered.

I'm sitting in -- standing in front of people that are all part of the process, good, hardworking Americans that are putting food on the table for their families because of trade.
I suppose we should at least be grateful he didn't talk about them putting food on their families this time?
