Steve Jobs' advice to President Obama

July 15, 2012 4:00 PM

Steve Jobs met with President Obama a few times and gave him ideas for how to generate jobs in the U.S., according to his biographer, Walter Isaacson. Jobs also told Isaacson that Obama needed a management style more like his own, which could be both mean and manipulative.

Obama's message of "Yes We Can " has become " I Guess We Can't "

All of you who commented on why did Jobs not manufacture his products here in the U.S, just think about what you are saying. If you think your iPhone's price is too high while made in China, what do you think that device would have cost you if made here in the U.S.?? We are a nation that has forgotten about what it means for a good public education and to also maybe take a good look at some of the greed of some of the unions and what they do to some of the companies like GM, I am not saying unions are bad or we should not have them but everyone gets to greedy from the CEO of the Corp. to the union leaders in their designer suits, think about that and take emotion out of the equation and think logically about Why on all of these questions you ask!

Unless we're talking about the opinions of multiple people with the name Steve Jobs, it's Jobs's. SMDH.

He should have been a libertarian. Don't know why he supported the Democrats...he doesn't have much in common with them. Republicans wouldn't have been better

Obama suffers from delusions of grandeur.......he listens to no one, whose views differ from his own.

Jobs was another global government believer. The rest of us being viewed like cattle to be exploited.

President Obama should have looked Steve Jobs in the eye and told him that he was thinking of proposing a law that would force all manufacturers to put in bold print on the boxes of their products what percentage of it was made in the US and what percentage was made in China, so that consumers could choose to buy US products and thus help the country they lived in. That might have shut up Jobs's piehole.

It's pretty clear to me that cooperation's run this country...thru Mass Media and political manipulation...cooperation's have defeated the people of the United States..politicians thru corruption by cooperation s...have manipulated our very Constitution to benefit themselves alone.
As a result, we're left with an over medicated, morbidly obese, bed ridden, mindless zombie population, with perverts and violent offenders for neighbors.
We HAVE the means to outsource both the Middle East and China. But we don't. We KNOW how..we're just not allowed.
It's time to tell on Big Brother, And time for Big Brother to face his judge...us.
I'm ignoring this pathetic excuse of a government. Maybe Al Capone wasn't so wrong.
Time to teach this treasonous Government a lesson i think.

For all the hype about Jobs, we all must remember that all the cellphone, Ipads etc that Jobs produced were made in other countries, namely China, Korea, Japan, Malaysia. My cellphone was made in China, the battery was made in Japan and finished in Korea..Why the H didn't Jobs see that all these inventions were made in the United States? He told Obama that manufacturing needed to come back to the United States yet he himself did nothing to bring back the making of electronics that he sold...what a turncoat to his country.
