Obama: Manufacturing Jobs Outsourced To Mexico Aren’t Coming Back
Breitbart ^ | June 2, 2016 | Charlie Spiering

President Barack Obama is giving up on some of the American manufacturing jobs that went to Mexico, telling an Indiana resident that many of those jobs are not coming back. During a town hall in Elkhart, Indiana, Obama was asked a question about manufacturing by a man who was once employed by Carrier Corporation in Indiana before the plant announced plans to move to Mexico.

“What we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the jobs that are coming in now because some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back,” Obama said bluntly during the event broadcast on PBS.

Carrier announced in February that it would move 1,400 jobs to Mexico — even after receiving $5.1 million from the Obama administration in clean energy tax credits. Carrier later clarified in a statement that it will not claim the federal tax credit....

The jobs WILL NOT come back, in Obama’s world.

But if we treat our businesses as OUR FRIENDS (i.e., Trump’s world), they sure as hell will come back.

The people running these companies sure as heck don’t enjoy having to go to Mexico, with targets on their back - and China is a great place to visit...but like any other country, it gets old pretty quick (particularly if you have to fly coach) - and you sure as heck better not getting into a business dispute there, because your flight out may not be for a very long time.

The only loose end that I worry about with Trump is how he’ll handle the labor unions here - they are one of the top reasons that companies have left, and something has to be done to keep them under control here - or Obama could be right, or at least partly right.

One of the ways you can tell Obama is really slinging the Bull... he starts using the term “folks”.

You can’t make this stuff up!
just two days after President Obama made a visit to Elkhart; touting it’s economic come-back from the Great Recession .CTS announced that 230 employees will be out of a job. according to a CTS press release ,jobs will move to existing operations in China, Taiwan, and Mexico.
And then the 38,000 jobs numbers on Friday! Man o man! The Trumpster in CA isn’t the only one with egg on their face You’d think someone would clue the poor guy in.

There are no jobs.

“Once a factory closes, it doesn’t come bad. It would cost a billion dollars a factory to re-set up shop again. That’s before they even start producing anything.”

BS. The factories left the USA they can leave Mexico.

Can you give them a better deal than Mexico can when they pay workers $2/hour?

Remember back in the 90’s when Bill Clinton and a Republican led Congress shoved NAFATA down our throats and said we are going to have the kind of jobs for the 21 century. High tech stuff and people were retraining and oh looked what happened along the way. Clinton, Bush, Obama and Republicans and Democrats have brought in hordes of illegals for the blue collar jobs. Indians for the high tech 21 century jobs on HB-1 visa's that us Americans retrained for. And now hordes of Muslims to finish us off. If you think the illegals are bad now just wait till you realize how many Muslims have come into our country in the past few years. Where I am at it used to be the illegals now it's all Muslims coming in and they have surpassed the illegals here in Northern Virginia. I am in the minority here were I live among the illegals and now the hordes of Muslims and I say to my friends that live far away that all the Americans have left this area. I go outside and wonder how did I end up in a third world country when I never left my own country. Also, some of you who wish Trump would pick Newt as his VP just remember he and all of the other traitors to America back in the 90’s helped Bill Clinton push NAFTA through.

I can see why this guy is president, he’s so damn smart. /s I think Ross Perot warned of this in the ‘90s.
