"Chrysler has repaid every dime and more of what it owes American taxpayers for their support during my presidency."
-- President Obama, June 4, 2011
With some of the economic indicators looking a bit dicey, President Obama traveled to Ohio last week to tout what the administration considers a good-news story: the rescue of the domestic automobile industry. In fact, he also made it the subject of his weekly radio address.
We take no view on whether the administration's efforts on behalf of the automobile industry were a good or bad thing; that's a matter for the editorial pages and eventually the historians. But we are interested in the facts the president cited to make his case.

Do the math----lately there has been a spate of negative stories on The Human
ReplyDeleteFailure---my bet is that they are starting to hedge on Vermin Heart keeping the White House in 2012----when it becomes more crystalized that The Great Obama Depression is becoming marked by more and more rising levels of enemployment, they will jettison this human cargo to lighten the ships load to save their sorry asses---what they built up they will now tear down with a vengence--
The choice is clear--do we fight to remove this papillomavirus from the countries system or do we surrender--------the power of choosing has never been any clearer----
