The comment that Obama would be impeached if he did something like this is precious. So, even if someone steps down from a company 13 years earlier, he is STILL being held responsible? Do none of you know how a Board of Directors works? If you are so outraged by these 170 jobs, why don’t you complain to GM who is buying from Sensata? Would that be because thanks to Obama’s bailout money, GM has sent 274,000 jobs overseas????

It does not matter that Romney is no longer in charge of Bain. He co-founded Bain and continues to profit directly from its strategy of outsourcing to maximize profits for the investors. Forget about the workers and the community that depends on them. He should use his influence to get Bain to stop the outsourcing. If he is serious about creating jobs, he should, at a bare minimum, publicly denounce what Bain is doing!

It’s real simple.
This illustrates what is very wrong about our trade policies.
If you agree, Obama is the clear choice for the next four years.

Solution:

USA tax break for parts manufactured in America.

Investers from Freeport to retool and new assembly line for duplicate part of Sensata sales. (about 170 + contributors would do it)

Several designers and manufacturers to produce these parts.

So let me get this straight, Sensata makes sensors for Ford and GM? The federal gov’t helped keep GM in business, so that means that Romney’s company directly benefitted from the bailouts! By the federal gov’t assisting in keeping the auto industry solvent, more jobs were kept in the USA than would have been lost. Hmmm…

I just can’t imagine any resonable person would vote for this political opportunist.

I’m sure those workers could find jobs as Walmart greeters atound the state somewhere. In the meantime, their severance package will make them part of the “takers” that Romney so despises

I’m outraged about Bainport! I’m from Massachusetts. We had our fill of Romney, the absentee governor. Please America, don’t trust this man for president!!!! Don’t you wonder why Massachusetts isn’t for Romney????

After months of campaigning, a convention, and two debates, President Obama still hasn’t laid out his agenda for a second term. For a president seeking reelection with chronically high unemployment, an anemic economy, and a massive debt, he’s failed to spell out how the next four years will be any different than the last four years. With no positive vision for the future and no hint of specific policy proposals, the choice is clear: we can’t afford four more years of President Obama.

Mitt Romney is NO LONGER in charge at Bain. It’s run by a DEMOCRAT by the name of Steve Pagliuca. It shows how little homework Ed Shulz actually does, or the ‘facts’ he chooses for his convenience. Have a nice weekend, a sad story indeed.

Why can’t O’bama do something about this situation before the election. Just waiting for the obvious to happen will not resolve the problem. thanks, Duane

if Obama was doing this he would be impeached. If I was working at that plant i would have burned it down. to hell with the 1 percent. They have no patriotism, and no heart, and Romney is one of them. Anybody who votes for him is out of his mind
