FROM BARACK OBAMA'S WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTER:

"This is the second day in a row that we are talking about manufacturing," Barack told the crowd of 150 in the SCHOTT glass factory. "When you meet the workers, it gives you pride that great manufacturing work is still being done in America."
SCHOTT is a bright spot in an otherwise worsening economy. Today the Department of Labor Statistics released new numbers: The nation's unemployment has reach a five-year high of 6.1 percent in August and employers laid off 84,000 workers.
It's no wonder that folks in Northeastern Pennsylvania are so intent on the the choice they have to make in this election. Voters as well as Barack are trying to keep focused on substantive issues rather than the personality issues that can creep into a campaign.
"Personalities? I think I've got a pretty good personality, but that's not why I'm running," Barack said at the town hall meeting. He is running to fix a broken healthcare system, bring balance to a faltering economy, and help the American people pass on a better life to their children.
"So if someone asks you what I'm going to do, now you know!"
Here are the rest of Barack's remarks from the SCHOTT glass factory in Duryea, PA:
