President Obama gave a huge shout-out to Apple during his State of the Union address tonight, using the company as an example of how manufacturers are once again seeing value in making things in America: “This year, Apple will start making Macs in America again.”
Obama was referring to an interview last year in which Apple CEO Tim Cook declared, “We’ve been working for years on doing more and more in the United States. Next year, we will do one of our existing Mac lines in the United States.”
