    Yes, she was born in Canada, but she has grown up in America and is an American citizen and moved to the U.S. when she was 4.

      And Mitt Romney was born in Mexico...and Ted Cruz was born in Canada. Both were able to run for President and have been elected to public office. Granholm is Ann Richards 2.0...she is electrifying and would definitely make a great president.

    • @beautifulsurprise9424
      @beautifulsurprise9424 Před 6 lety

      Dank951 - Mitt Romney was born in Detroit, Michigan. Ted Cruz was indeed born in Canada but is still considered a natural born citizen because in order to be considered a natural born citizen you must have been born in the U.S, and if you weren't you must have either both parents who are U.S. citizens or one parent who is U.S. citizen while living abroad and still satisfies legal U.S. residency at the time of your birth, as Ted Cruz did. His father wasn't a U.S. citizen but his mother was. His parents were living in Canada at the time of his birth, but his mother still maintained her U.S. residency, thus making Ted a natural born citizen, not a naturalized citizen. Jennifer Granholm is barred from becoming president because neither of her parents were U.S. citizens at the time of her birth. Both of her parents are Canadian and they moved to the U.S. when she was a child.

I do not believe, in my 58 years of life, that I have ever heard a political stump speech given by a woman or man with such passion. Jennifer Granholm has ripened into a political fireball. There is no telling where this might lead her. She undoubtedly will become one of the most passionate political speakers in the baby boomer generation. What fire !

    I do not know enough about her management skills as governor of Michigan. I do though watch her 5 nights a week on Current TV and I can tell you that she is intelligent, articulate, thoughtful, dimensional, and is a type of person that I believe in. With situations of economic crisis, things are always evolving, and if someone came along and shortly turned things around, it undoubtedly had something to do with ground work that she had previously laid forth.

    Okay, so I just got this, but what happened to US industry isn't a result of any one governor, but national trade policy. We don't make things anymore because we allow the outsourcing of jobs to countries where you can pay less than $2/hr and don't tariff those imports and even give the outsourcing company tax breaks to do so. Its the same reason why Toyota and BMW sent jobs to the South, because they don't have to provide benefits or a decent wage like they would in Japan or Germany

    She's right though. In a case of Bankruptcy vs. Investment, investment was the better choice.
    From the very little Romney has revealed about his economic policy, it doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about whatsoever. I'm a private investor too and Obama makes a LOT more sense in action and on paper.

    I'm a Michigan Democrat and I totally agree with that. Snyder has been so much better for this state (I didn't like some things that he did, like taking certain things off of price tags, negative for consumers) and is really pushing the great idea of a new bridge.
    Granholm treated this state like crap.

    Incredible speech. They should bottle this woman and sell her at the supermarket !
    Best female political speaker that I've heard in my life. Her passion is mind boggling.

    Gotta love how she counts out the number of jobs saved state by state. She's pretty awesome!

    Scottsway-
    So true. It is called "dangling the carrot at the end of the stick in the pursuit of the American Dream " That is why the middle class is getting royally screwed !!
