Speaking of the subject header ....

Happened to note that although President Obama stated several times that
passage of the stimulus would enable Caterpillar to re-hire some of it's
laid-off employees and repeating it again while visiting the Caterpillar
plant while gesturing towards Owens, Caterpillar's president, Owens seemed
to contradict Obama's statement shortly afterward.

After Obama departed from the plant visit, Owens was asked if passage now
meant he would re-hire some laid off employees. His answer was, "In all
honesty, no." He indicated that there was a long ways to go and that in
reality there will likely be more lay-offs before any re-hiring can begin.

Failure to communicate? Something screwy here.
