President to Visit Master Lock
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- President Barack Obama will visit Master Lock in Milwaukee on Wednesday.
A White House official announced the location of the president's visit Friday. The official says Obama plans to discuss the importance of American manufacturing and companies investing in American manpower. Obama highlighted Master Lock in his State of the Union address last month for moving jobs back to the U.S. from China. The padlock and security products manufacturer has returned about 100 union jobs to its Milwaukee factory since mid-2010. The company says the decision to bring the jobs back to Milwaukee was partially motivated by increasingly higher labor and logistics costs in Asia and ongoing labor challenges in the coastal areas of China. |

Thia comment is addressing the comment by Jason Mishelow, CFO of Centro Legal. It's a shame that you have such racist, ignorant person representing the Centro Legal.He thinks for some reason think they deserve more than the legal citizens of this country. Your people are not legal. Come to this country legally.Stop discriminating against African Americans because you are better than nobody. The republicans hate you.

Higher "labor and logistics" costs ARE the ongoing labor challenges in Asia. The socioeconomic machine in China has outgrown itself already and needs adjusting. Master Lock has taken a challenging stance, and decided not to just wait for Asia to give orders. Bravo to Obama and Master Lock. That's the way we used to do it -- we'd bet we could make it better and we'd go ahead and win the bet. This is a beautiful thing.

I just hope that B. Hussein Obama will do more to increase free programs for our guest Hispanic population on the south side.I could care less about blacks and goyas getting help. My daddy Milton would be proud of me. Remember the guest undocumented residents should always come first!
