Obama Cancels Job Killing Speech About Truck Fuel Efficiency Standards
-
It would not have a smart move by President Obama to announce to the public that he is going to kill even more jobs and burden the middle class by raising the fuel standards of heavy duty trucks just after a major stock market loss on Monday. From JWF via The Washington Times:
One day after the stock market took its biggest plunge since the 2008 financial crisis, President Obama on Tuesday canceled a previously scheduled speech at a local moving company, and the White House also pulled the plug on the daily press briefing.
Instead of traveling to Springfield, Va.-based Interstate Moving Services and making public remarks on fuel efficiency standards for work trucks, Mr. Obama will meet privately with industry officials at the White House this morning — and that meeting will be closed to the press, the White House announced in a scheduling update Tuesday morning.
In addition, a 12:30 briefing with press secretary Jay Carney has been canceled, the update said.
