Now That Bailout Is Over Obama Focuses On Payback Votes From Auto Industry States

Now That Bailout Is Over Obama Focuses On Payback Votes From Auto Industry States
President Obama arrives here on Friday on another visit to Michigan, seeking not only the electoral votes that are essential to his re-election effort, but a platform for a far bigger message.

He has returned again and again, nine times since taking office, to argue that his decision to bail out two of the Big Three automakers helped workers here and across the industrial Midwest. He has offered up a rebuttal to criticism about the value of government intervention.

The president’s path to a second term is built around winning a wide swath of states, including many with close ties to the auto industry.

"Now That Bailout Is Over Obama Focuses On Relection Votes From Auto Industry States"


Oh no! This could get ugly!! Maybe he should stick to the states he has protected with the use of drones to kill terrorists ...oh wait, that would be all of them!! Never mind! The poor guy can't do anything right!!

internationalmanofmystery,
Since you mention the drone strikes, I have to ask — why is it that lefties did everything they could to undermine the war on terror while Bush was in office with their hysteria over interrogations, and yet, they have no problem with the current policy of vaporizing presumed terrorists with drone-delivered hellfire missiles? How do you account for the double standard? It couldn't possibly be that the left is giving Obama a free pass because he's a democrat, could it?

Is George Bush running again in 2012??? I long for the good ole glory days!! A few Michael Milken, Ivan Boesky, and Bernie Madoff is what this economy needs to REALLY take off next year! Those off-shore accounts are really being underutilized!! Maybe we can impeach "Obammy?" Try him for treason? Scrap the SEC while we are at it! Ban the UAW...hmmm, yeah, tax credits for the struggling companies like Exxon! Credit default swaps of $62.2 trillion, falling to $26.3 trillion by mid-year 2010? Oh hell, bring those back too. And we'll just hide the fact that only the rich cashed of their mortgage and walked away from a shit load of properties!! Shhh

You sound like you are leaning a certain way so let me be clear!


I am what used to be called an AMERICAN! I favor what protects this country, its people, and what gets results! I could give a rat's ass about what some liberal thinks about the "rights" of someone trying to kill us! At the end of the day, there are more bad guys left dead on the battlefield under "Obammy" as my "learned colleague” would say, than Bush!!

That is not political, that is a fact! I leave "spin" to the lesser minded!

I kid those on the right because they fail to see (or liked what they saw) what is really going on in this country and I pity those on the left who are trying to do something about it!

It's like those on this very site and maybe on this very thread who are "Pro-America" but are yet "Anti-Worker" They hate everything UAW!! Yet these people don't fly Netjets to the South of France! Where do you think they spend their money?? Where do you think they buy cars? Where do you think they send their kids to school or buy a home?? Last time I checked our own Vice-President under Bush, moved his corporate offices to Dubai! Dubai!! We need a wakeup call. But if you are rich, and on the right, waking up would be a nightmare for you! You want, or rather, you need the status quo!!!

Int'l, those of us who aren’t Obama sycophants DO see what’s going on in this country.
We see Obama increasing the debt by trillions more to create slushfunds to pay back his political supporters in the unions.
We see Obama embracing crony capitalism with a bear hug as he throws away billions in taxpayer money to companies led by Obama campaign contributors e.g. Solyndra.
We see the same brainwashed leftists who undermined our ability to battle terrorism while Bush was in office look the other way while Obama conducts an aimless war in Libya without congressional approval.
We see a corrupt Obama “justice” dept. enforce a warped sense of justice along racial lines while funneling guns into Mexico.
We see Obama further dividing the country with his incessant class warfare, racial pandering and talk of “punishing” and getting “in the face” of political “enemies”.
We see Obama’s job killing policies at work, undermining economic recovery and employment.
We see Obama blaming all his failures on everyone but himself.
We see Obama turning his back on our allies, while literally bowing to foreign leaders all over the world.
We see Barak and Michelle Obama play golf and vacation at elite resorts with only the occasional interruption to remind the rest of us of the need to sacrifice.
We see Obama blame Republicans for not passing another bogus “jobs bill”, while it’s his own party that won’t even bring it to a vote.
I could keep going, but anyone who still supports Obama at this point clearly isn't interested in facts.

bill, your comment, like most of the political ideas you express here, is incoherent. You seem like you'd fit right in with the fleabaggers protesting near Wall St.

You're a small businessman huh? Is your small business unionized?

why would it matter, if was or not unionized as long as he bucks the trend of paying workers a non sufficient wage for their duties?

If he isn't unionized I will bet you his benefits packages are no where near Union levels.

Bill, If I remember correctly the majority of corporation CEO's in the U.S. are registered Democrat.

And BTW, in 2010 the TOP 20 CEO's invested heavly in Democrats giving 55% more.

"Obama increasing the debt by trillions more to create slushfunds to pay back his political supporters in the unions.'

Where is the surplus left by Clinton, a Democrat? And remember that infamous speech by former President Bush regarding his "BASE?" I guess he owed (or gave ) them NOTHING?!!




"We see Obama embracing crony capitalism..."

So, he is NOT a Socialist redistributing America’s wealth??? Hmmmm



"We see the same brainwashed leftists who undermined our ability to battle terrorism while Bush was in office look the other way while Obama conducts an aimless war in Libya without congressional approval."

You are right on this one because Bush NEVER waged any wars without congressional approval! And it’s funny that in the same breath you ARE saying Obama and HIS "brainwashed leftists" ARE fighting America's war on terrorists!! Hmmmm



"We see a corrupt Obama “justice” dept. enforce a warped sense of justice along racial lines while funneling guns into Mexico."

And the proof is???? Treason?? Impeachment?? How do we go after him if what YOU say is true?



"We see Obama further dividing the country with his incessant class warfare, racial pandering and talk of “punishing” and getting “in the face” of political “enemies”. We see Obama’s job killing policies at work, undermining economic recovery and employment."

Yet he is running for RE-ELECTION???? Makes sense only to YOU!!!



"We see Barak and Michelle Obama play golf and vacation at elite resorts with only the occasional interruption to remind the rest of us of the need to sacrifice."

That bastard!! No president before him has EVER taken vacations!!!! The nerve!!!



"We see Obama blame Republicans for not passing another bogus “jobs bill”, while it’s his own party that won’t even bring it to a vote."

Interesting!! But from ALL the news media outlets, C-Span, and all the rest, the OVERWHELMING evidence is that (until elections are held) the Republicans are now the masters of the filibuster!! Look it up!! Please!!



"I could keep going ..."

Please don't!



"...clearly isn't interested in facts."

Thank you, for your UNBIASED assessment!!

"internationalmanofmystery", you're clearly not interested in the facts surrounding Obama's failures in office. Rather than waste my time arguing with you further I'll let the combined 42 deboosts you've accumulated in this thread alone speak for itself. Hopefully, people like you will take the blinders off before the next election and before it's too late for this country to recover.

And you think I care about that???? REALLY???? Maybe I should curl up in the fetal position and cry a bit?! I do so need you and the other deboosters for personal validation!! Waaah How is that???


And of course you would run away from a reasoned debate! I expected NOTHING ELSE!!! The bar wasn’t set very high for you In the first place! Sorry!




Btw, YOU are a REPUBLICAN!!! And you accuse me of wearing blinders??? That is rich! YOU and the Republican deboosters can continue with the ad hominem attacks though, suits you well!! Keep drinking the kool aid though!!!! Never acquired the taste!



ps
DEBOOST AWAY!! I am trying to set a personal record. The "owner" of the 2007 CLS is keeping score!!
