In a blog post, Krzanich said that the decline in American manufacturing remains a serious issue, but said that "politics and political agendas have sidelined the important mission of rebuilding America's manufacturing base. I resigned to call attention to the serious harm our divided political climate is causing to critical issues, including the serious need to address the decline of American manufacturing," Krzanich said in a blog post. "Politics and political agendas have sidelined the important mission of rebuilding America's manufacturing base."

That was only after the shitstorm. His initial comments on the issue show how partisan, petty, and out of touch he is. It's also transparent that he was trying not to lose his white supremacist voters (don't worry, they aren't going anywhere). His approval rating is abysmal because of shit like this. I don't expect him to become a liberal, but it would be nice if he would just stop being so goddamn unpresidential!
