Vicente Fox, former president of Mexico, isn't a shy man.

He calls President Bush the "cockiest" politician he's ever met; he talks glowingly of John McCain and less so of Barack Obama. And he has a message for Michigan factory workers who have lost their jobs.

Those jobs aren't coming back, and Michigan should focus instead on the high-tech and service industries.

"In the end, Michigan factories have to compete with factories in Mexico and China," Fox said in a telephone interview Thursday. "Companies like General Motors and Ford and Maytag don't have an option. They either close the doors and fire their workers, or they move where they can gain economic competitiveness."
