I guess this is how the swooners think Obama is keeping jobs in America.

"The investment at the Rosario Automotive Complex will be made between 2013 and 2015. Last year the Rosario plant manufactured more than 136,000 vehicles, and this investment will add new vehicles for export and new models to be added in Chevrolet’s portfolio for customers and dealers in Argentina.
According to GM this new model will be based on a global platform and will give the automaker the possibility to offer the domestic and regional market more high-quality, high value Chevrolet products. Last year GM Argentina sold 136,323 units, manufactured 136,466 units and exported 82,492 vehicles to countries in the region. The Rosario Automotive Complex has 3,300 employees in Alvear and Buenos Aires."


GM Invests $450 Million in Argentina


Oh and they already are in the process of sending a billion to Russia. When will they pay back the taxpayers?? I'm guessing never.

Obviously, you don't understand manufacturing. Jobs aren't being 'outsourced' from the USA. They're being created far away where sales opportunities exist. If GM manufactured vehicles which are intended for sale only in far away places here in the USA, the cost of shipping would make them prohibitively expensive in those local markets. Making them locally, which has no negative impcat on US jobs, is the smart thing to do. And, in the process ... the USA based company, of which the U.S. Government is a shareholder together with millions of other Americans ... is financially stronger. I'm not as anti-business, anti-free market as you make yourself appear to be.

Obama, and his entire administration, is a disgrace. And anyone that would vote for Obama in this election is a disgrace. That means you Ohioans. Michigan figured it out...and will be voting for Romney!!!

Not understanding your reasoning here.
Should GM build the cars here and ship them to Argentina, Russia, Brazil...?

How is what GM is doing different from Nissan, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz building cars here for the U.S. market?

Keep in mind that our government is still a "shareholder" in GM. Although shareholders don't have a say in how a company runs it's business, I think this calls for an exception seeing as how government used taxpayer money to bail GM out and GM owes the government $42 billion. GM is expanding and investing everywhere but the US.
