OK maybe not, but Midway USA (http://www.midwayusa.com/) was awarded the 2009 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/releases/baldrige_recipients2009.html), "the nation’s highest Presidential honor for innovation and performance excellence."

Surely site speed (browsing) was not one of the criteria for the award?


Even two bit "free" sites on out dated servers are faster than midwayusa.com

That had to be as rigged as the Nobels.... At least twice this year I went to Midway to buy something and ended up buying from Browells or Grafs because I couldn't stand how slow their site was....

Considering the President's views on gun ownership, making it hard for people to buy parts is perhaps why they won it? :p

Their site has been running fine lately.

That's too funny, I wonder if Barack even knows who they really are. :p

It seems that they did some upgrades because it is running much faster for me as well.

Wow. I hadn't been to their site in quite some time because it was always so slow. Larry Potterfield must have used some of the profits from the recent buying frenzy to upgrade the website, because it's running fine now.

Oh, and good on them for their major award.

"Barack Obama Shops at Midway USA "

My guess if he did a commercial for them their business would drop by a third
