In his recent State of the Union (political) speech, Obama promised “middle class Americans that more jobs would be coming their way.”
He told them “to rely on him and government to help create jobs so that families could keep their homes and recover from the funk the nation is in.”
While he was making that speech, the Obama-controlled Pentagon quietly awarded a $345 million contract to Sierra Nevada Crop. to produce aircraft for the U.S. military. Sierra will be working with a Brazilian firm, Embraer, to produce the aircraft and the work will be done in Brazil
That “job creation” just cost American workers, mostly union, some 1,400 jobs.
More change we can do without.

I just researched the Sierra Nevada Corps recent contract with Embraer. They have facilities around the world, many here in the US. The factory in Melbourne, Fl. will get all the 1200 jobs created to build this plane. No jobs will be out sourced to Brazil.
Too many lies and half truths come from a few people around the local area. It's okay to have an opinion but not your own facts. You can hate the President all you want, but keep the lies and half truths to yourself.

All State of The Union addresses, given by any president has some political overtones. You sound as if President Obama was the first. How dare he!
