excerpts:
- Obama said it's important to remember that the U.S. is still the largest receiver of foreign investment in the world and things like stability, openness and innovative free market culture are attractive.
- "Because of our federalist system, sometimes a foreign investor comes in and they've got to navigate not only federal rules, but they've also got to navigate state and local governments that may have their own sets of interests. Being able to create if not a one-stop shop, then at least no more than a couple of stops for people to be able to come into the United States and make investments, that's something that we want to encourage," Obama said.
- He also said at a fundraiser in San Francsico last month, "Anybody been to Beijing Airport lately? Or driven on high-speed rail in Asia or Europe? What's changed? Well, we've lost our ambition, our imagination, and our willingness to do the things that built the Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam and unleashed all the potential in this country."[ comment: He just caved in to the environmentalists on the XL pipeline. These are the same people who want to stop dams like the Hoover Dam from being built in the first place. His words have a false ring to them.]
Comment: The reason I use the exclamation points and question marks is that Obama has said some really negative things about Fox, and now Fox is there making Obama look like a good old capitalist. What gives?
Things are really, really crazy right now. I don't know if you can believe a single word you hear sometimes.
