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.

Why does no one discuss the GATT agreement that opened the door for this? We were warned by our Founders that treaties could end us as a nation.
Ross Perot warned us of the “Giant sucking sound” of jobs being sent away to Mexico because of NAFTA................
If so, why don't they stick up for their own members? Or is the UAW in Mexico as well so as far as they are concerned, it is a wash?
Do people really wonder about that? He’s redistributing wealth to a poorer country exactly as he said he would do.
Mussolini coined the term "fascism" for that but the word has become a synonym for "tyranny" now.
Mussolini is the one who coined the term.
