He has influence. He certainly has the ear of the press, he's a candidate for the Presidency who's had plenty to say about China, jobs, and outsourcing.
It's about time you open your eye's.

Even though Romney is running for president, does not mean he should get involved in every matter that is brought to his attention.

Why is the president not getting involved? I mean, he is running for president, has the ear of the press......Oh, I know...here comes the speech again....deflection....right

You understand what passive means...well, maybe not...

My next question is, why are you just now brining this up? This thing that you say just happened Monday is a lie...

So, last Monday was really July 16th (Monday) not last Monday October 15th.

Bain Capital run by a Democrat supporter is doing the outsourcing.

What an irrelevant point this logical fallacy is to the thread discussion.

Seems the guy should be pretty familiar with Romney. And, he's throwing more support to Dems than to the Reps? Doesn't speak well for Romney.

Sensata workers have asked to meet with Mitt Romney and hoped to enlist his help keeping their jobs in the United States.

Romney refused.

The most important part of the story is that Sensata Technologies is profitable operating in Illinois. Net income last year was $355 million, up 16 percent from 2010. The company reported total revenues of $1.8 billion in 2011, up almost 19 percent from the year before. According to a company financial statement, "both 2011 net revenue and adjusted net income represent record levels for the company."

So this has nothing to do with "making hard choices" in the process of turning around a failing business.


Interesting
Romney hasn't worked for Bain for over ten years.

Why didn't they ask Obama?
