Mitt Romney Tells 'Humorous' Story About Father Closing A Michigan Factory

,,,,

At the outset of his 35-minute conference call, Romney told what he thought was a "humorous" story about how his father once shut down a factory in Michigan and moved production to Wisconsin, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

One of [the] most humorous I think relates to my father. You may remember my father, George Romney, was president of an automobile company called American Motors. ... They had a factory in Michigan, and they had a factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and another one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. And as the president of the company he decided to close the factory in Michigan and move all the production to Wisconsin. Now later he decided to run for governor of Michigan and so you can imagine that having closed the factory and moved all the production to Wisconsin was a very sensitive issue to him, for his campaign.



.....

David Shepardson, the DC bureau chief of the Detroit News, noted on Twitter that George Romney's decision to "close the Hudson plants on Detroit's East Side in 1954 cos[t] 4,300 workers their jobs."

Romney just doesn't get it. He's made that clear. While there is plenty to be said for electing a leader with strong business skills I just can't imagine Americans electing him. Are they going to vote for a man who believes that he will become a god someday and make the decision about whether or not his wife is resurrected?

He's inept at connecting with the average American...

I remember when he was in a southern Nascar enthusiast state. His solution to connect with the folks and the sport was how he knew quite a few Nascar team owners..... ](*,)


It really reminds you of Mr. Burns when he ran for governor in the Simpsons.

Are they going to vote for a man who believes that he will become a god someday...

They've had no difficulty in voting for someone who thinks he IS God now.

Why do not you make amends to your attacks on the black race...instead of your previous posting of blacks who were druggies, criminals, adulterers and liars, put up pics of good blacks like Ethel Waters, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williamson, etc.

Or is that beyond your racist and dishonest bent mr manager?

Obama being president is the biggest joke of them all -- but the second term should be a real goose stepper, I mean knee slapper, no I mean goose stepper. Well at least Vlad Putin thinks it's funny.

Only the latest example of how Romney has no real world stories that relate to the 99%. I am sure he will be giving us another example in a few days.

He does this everytime he has to speak off of the script that he has memorized.

The Dems will slaughter him with this stuff. 8)

Maybe I'm stuck up on race, but I just cannot get past the fact that Romney's church, until very recently (this election cycle), taught that the skin color of my ancestors was a curse from God. My advice to true Christians, conservatives and Lamanites (Mormon speak for people of First Nations ancestry): vote down-ticket Republican this cycle.

There is no hope for America in the coming election.

The only one with new ideas and solutions is Ron Paul, and the NWO is trying their best to reduce his visibility.

But hey, they did promise that if y'all were very very good, y'all would be "White, Clean White" in Heaven!

I have been to a lot of Christian churches of all stripes and I have never in my life heard even the Whitest Southern Baptist church promise Black folks that they'd be White in Heaven.
