"Janesville workers like what they hear" (Wisconsin-Obama)

[Renew Deal]

JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) - Some workers at Janesville's GM plant like what they heard from Barack Obama today.

The Democratic presidential candidate toured the plant and later promised autoworkers he would end tax breaks for companies who ship jobs overseas and would not sign trade agreements unless they include protections for the environment and American workers.

Jim Conley was worked at the plant for 39 years. Conley says he liked Obama's promise not to tax Social Security income and to end tax cuts for businesses that send jobs overseas.

Lorenzo Barnes of Janesville worked at the plant for 31 years. He says the country needs a change and Obama is the man to bring it.
