              By Dave Boyer - The Washington Times

              The White House says President Obama’s visit to a unionized Boeing Co. plant near Seattle on Friday will focus on the economy, but the event also is being viewed as a victory lap for Mr. Obama with labor unions that successfully fought the aerospace company’s plans to move jobs to a nonunion plant.
