They would be fools. Obama took 7 months to even talk to his "jobs" council. He hates business and could care less about jobs. He only cares about communism, and imposing it on us.

China has cheaper labor cost which helps drive profits for Apple.

Right now, the US has the highest corporate tax rate in the world. If the US would lower it to at or below that of the EU nations, I'm sure that Apple would consider manufacturing here.
