Both sides want Obama, during Racine visit, to explain Chrysler moving jobs from Kenosha to Mexico President Barack Obama will be greeted in Racine Wednesday by some tough questions over his administration's decision to ax jobs in Kenosha.
The president-backed bailout of Chrysler last year allowed the car manufacturer to shutter its Kenosha plant and move the jobs to Mexico. That has liberals and conservatives asking questions about Obama's commitment to jobs in southeastern Wisconsin.
The liberal Capitol Times in Madison said Obama should address the Chrysler decision during his visit to Racine. They write:
We do wish he would explain to the people of southeast Wisconsin why his auto industry bailout plan - which he and so many Wall Street players hail as a success - helped pay for Chrysler's plan to shutter factories in U.S. communities and relocate work to foreign countries.
That's what happened to Kenosha, Racine's neighbor city, which was not "rescued" by the bailout but instead was devastated when Chrysler announced it would stop production in the city. The plant, with roots in Kenosha that go back more than a century, has been fully modernized and is ready to produce state-of-the-art engines.

President Obama to hold town hall meeting in Racine, WI

Wonder what the unions have to say about this...
Note to folks in MI: There’s a reason it’s known as “crony capitalism”.
You can’t achieve total dependency on government when people have actual jobs, so of course the Chrysler jobs had to go.
You just read it.
What’s to explain? The workers in Mexico are not union. Period. End of discussion..........................
How about vaya con Dios ?
I think you mean, “crony socialism.”
Obama should explain why Kenosha plant is closing

President Obama will be coming to southeast Wisconsin Wednesday.
He’ll appear in Racine, a city that has been devastated by factory closings and job losses.
The president will, we are sure, have an optimistic message.
But we do wish he would explain to the people of southeast Wisconsin why his auto industry bailout plan - which he and so many Wall Street players hail as a success - helped pay for Chrysler’s plan to shutter factories in U.S. communities and relocate work to foreign countries.
That’s what happened to Kenosha, Racine’s neighbor city, which was not “rescued” by the bailout but instead was devastated when Chrysler announced it would stop production in the city. The plant, with roots in Kenosha that go back more than a century, has been fully modernized and is ready to produce state-of-the-art engines.
But Chrysler is moving production to Mexico.
This is the legacy of Obama’s bailout plan, which helped investors but did not do much for workers in communities such as Kenosha and Racine.

That has liberals and RINOS asking questions about Obama's commitment to jobs in southeastern Wisconsin. ..............There, that's more like it...............
They'll say, "This is for the greater good. Lord Obama has a plan that we lowly bottomfeeders can never understand, so trust in Him."
Obama is committed to jobs anywhere but in Amerika. Why ask when you already know the answer.
He is what he is.
Also, the workers in Mexico are not Americans!
Sez who?.............
Screw the commies in the UAW!
Yeah, the govt owns Chrysler now, Hussein has some splainin to do.
Not yet.
Well since I will never buy a Chrysler or GM product as long as they are government owned I could care less. If these rubes believed the Won was going to save them, then they’re probably not smart enough to work in the factory in the first place.
Of course, you may be implying that 0 will make them all citizens...
