Obama Lays Out Manufacturing Plan As He Tours Michigan Plants - 05/15/08While Senator Hillary Clinton spent Wednesday hitting the talk show circuit on the heels of her 41-point victory in West Virginia, Senator Barack Obama was hitting the manufacturing circuit in Michigan: Democratic Presidential candidate and Senator, Barack Obama spent Wednesday in Warren, Michigan, where he laid out his manufacturing plan. The proposal calls for $150 billion for the development of green technology over the next decade, which he believes will result in the creation of more than 5 million green jobs and reinforce the country’s infrastructure. Obama used the opportunity to take on his Republican Presidential competitor, John McCain. He said McCain doesn’t have a vision for bringing jobs back to Michigan or even creating new ones. Obama said his plan will benefit from the skilled workforce that already exists in the Midwest, by offering job training that allows competition in the world economy. McCain’s campaign fired back after Obama speech. They said his manufacturing plan shows “weak leadership and poor judgment.” Posted 05/14/2008 - 3:11pm | 531 reads
