On Friday, December 4th, President Obama will travel to Allentown, PA to spend some time out of Washington and take the temperature on what Americans are experiencing during these challenging economic times. We visited Allentown in advance to tell the stories of two local small businesses making their way in these difficult times. This video was shown at the White House Forum on Jobs and Economic Growth on December 3, 2009. (Public Domain)

  • i pass Egypt star bakery every day & they must have had every employee & their relatives there for that video.Allentown is bankrupt & most of Pennsylvania is headed in the same direction.

  • what a loaf!

  • 25Million Legal Citizens, Under- or UnEmployed...40Million Illegal Immigrants...take them out of the equation--Surplus 15million jobs...and Employers would be forced to pay better than a Living Wage. Arithmetic is HARD; MacroEconomics is Easy!

    Love, from Allentown

  • i love to get baked

  • Can I have a job? I always dreamed being a baker boy making peanuts so I can stay under obama's thumb.

  • iLuvAkeys4ever,

    "institutions who go out of their way NOT to employ black"

    In America all Blacks become celebrities 'singers or movie stars'..Will Smith, Jamie Fox, Halle Berry, Don Cheadle, Wesley Snipes, Oprah Winfery, Tyra Banks, Chris Brown, Micheal Jackson,Brandy and Rihanna on and on..

    Blacks in America even become President or an Attorney General.

  • @iLuvAkeys4ever (reallyyy) my UPS person is an Afro American and always has been....... who would listen to an ex-american, specially one that chooses to live in Brit-land??? you dont even have african americans.What does Obama or the Lehigh Valley have to do with you. I dont see a connection you cant even vote here and you still bow and scrape to those you call LORD!!!!--

  • i like that comment high school graduate or less<<<<<<<<<<<good work

  • Mrfreedom! = I cannot believe the ridiculous rascist "no one will hire blacks"....well tell "iLuvAkerys4ever" to go and call up OBAMA and ask him where his promise of millions of "Shovel Ready Jobs" lines are starting and she can then be escorted by a BLACK President to the front of that NON-EXISTENT LINE! = and by the ebonics mixed up typed message WE CAN READ = she has to be further "edumacated" to be able to answer phones or read manuels at a workplace and SPEAK CLEARLY! = ebonics dont cut it

  • rungy07 - that TEAM Obama got one person to do a Photo OP? .... and this women admits SHE (a long term business) CANNOT get any loans for more or newer equipment!!!! - so if SHE has not credit? WHO could even "begin" another bakery?...........all Obama has done is go off the deep end of his egoic ideals of elusive air headed programs and numerous BILLS - all ending in further TAX TAX TAX! - and if anyone knows where the SHOVEL READY JOB LINE STARTS? Let us know cause about 17% of us are looking!
