President Obama is introduced by Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas Donohue before speaking
The good news for President Obama: The Chamber of Commerce broke into applause twice during his speech Monday morning to welcome his ideas.
The bad news: They clapped just twice, in a 35-minute address.
Obama himself acknowledged early on that he doesnt have the best relationship with the Chamber. (Maybe if we had brought over a fruit cake when we first moved in, we would have got off to a better start, he joked.)
The first applause line came halfway through Obamas remarks, as he spoke of opening up new markets and selling more American goods in other countries.
Ill go anywhere to be a booster for American businesses, American workers and American products, Obama said, to which the audience broke into applause. Then, in an ad-libbed moment, Obama remarked, And I dont charge a commission.
The only other applause for Obama came at the end, when Obama once again hit the right note in calling for bringing jobs back the United States.
Thats good for everybody, he said. So if Ive got a message, that message is: Nows the time to invest in America. As the audience applauded, Obama repeated, Nows the time to invest in America.
Socialist ass-hats think "There will be no more money when the U.S. dollar has no value, until that time we can keep printing more." And yes, that IS from LF's answer to Ben Bernanke, go65, leading disfunctional and delusional socialist of the forum.
