Q. You mentioned infrastructure. Why is that a partisan issue? I live in a town, the bridge is falling apart, it’s not safe. How does that become Republican or Democrat? How do you not just fix the bridge? (Laughter and applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: I don't know. As you know, for the last three years, I’ve said, let’s work together. Let’s find a financing mechanism and let’s go ahead and fix our bridges, fix our roads, sewer systems, our ports. The Panama is being widened so that these big supertankers can come in. Now, that will be finished in 2015. If we don't deepen our ports all along the Gulf — places like Charleston, South Carolina, or Savannah, Georgia, or Jacksonville, Florida — if we don't do that, those ships are going to go someplace else. And we’ll lose jobs. Businesses won’t locate here.
I hope you're trolling...yeah you're trolling, nice try.

Obama is not as he is seen throughout the mainstream media. Never underestimate the medias ability to lie to you. Obama is just a manipulator who uses propaganda to his advantage. It may seem as he is trying to revolutionise the united states of America but instead its turning into the United corporations of America.edit on 8-8-2013 by FreedomJoseph because: Wrong answer

And he is right infrastructure shouldn't be a partisan issue Republicans and Democrats have had control of this country for the last 150 years and they have done a crappy job. It's time for them to put their country's interest before their parties interest.

Double Standard
: a set of principles that applies differently and usually more rigorously to one group of people or circumstances than to another; especially : a code of morals that applies more severe standards of sexual behavior to women than to men
because the media hides it for him where with a prior president, they rolled around in his gaffs like pigs in mud.

Of-course he's an idiot.
Just not sure how this makes him different from most of our other Presidents?

First of all, I listened to the actual clip of the interview, and Obama does in fact say "Panama Canal".
Second, the reason he lists those other cities is because they are separate from the gulf. Otherwise, he would have just said "all along the gulf", period. It's more like a comma in between, not a dash.
You guys are really grasping here...

Nothing against the guy (other than his stupid policies) but c'mon this is ridiculous.
