That the people of Michigan don’t want to say the phrase “would you like fries with that” or “get me another bedpan this one is full”?
That it is tough enough competing with foreign companies, but the people of Michigan are rejecting competing with foreign labor in their own lands?
Hopefully, it is, unless McCain plans to train them for all of those high-tech jobs that are now heading overseas as well.
Scary to think that a guy like McCain is running for President when he's willing to tell the manufacturing sector that he's not going to fight for them. This nation cannot survive long if we don't make anything here.

Sort of. I think it also has to do with the lack of help from the current administration. And McCain is very tied to the current administration on a lot of issues. Not saying that is bad or good - but from a Michigan perspective they are looking for a lot more out of their government. I susect Romney will win - give me best answer if he does. lol

No the jobs are not coming back. I'm sorry for you guys but I remember all the strikes your workers went on to get more and more when every one else had nothing I guess what comes around goes around would you agree?

Being optimistic is not (always) the same as being unrealistic. Mitt Romney promised to fight for American jobs and specifically for Michigan's jobs. He's a businessman, and he knows that there's practically a recession going on in the state of Michigan alone. That's a serious concern for the whole country, and the loss of American jobs to foreign manufacturers is a serious factor in that.
John McCain's "straight talk" may or may not be realistic. At this point, the impossibility of bringing back jobs that are "gone" is of secondary importance. What's important is having a president who is willing to work hard and work long before conceding defeat. I don't know how much work McCain has actually done in trying to "bring back" these jobs, but fighting for jobs is something Mitt Romney has done virtually his entire adult life.
And now he has a chance to do so as president.
