BO looks to ride auto bailout to reelection

[dogtowner]

seriously ?

well yes it certainly does draw a contrast to Romney but not one that benefits him. It really just highlights his lack of understanding of just what Chapter 11 does OR it exposes it as being nothing more than a giant union favor. the GOP must be delighted.

Despite the bailout money still owned taxpayers, President Barack Obama is going to try to ride his rescue of General Motors and Chrysler to a reelection victory.

Proof? Look no further than his surprise visit to the Washington Auto Show today where he took a close look at some of Detroit's new models.

The Associated Press says for Obama, the auto bailout is a case study for his efforts to revive the economy and a potential point of contrast with Republican Mitt Romney, who opposed Obama's decision to pour billions of dollars into the auto companies. If Romney wins the GOP nomination, expect to hear a lot about the car industry.

"The American auto industry was on the verge of collapse. And some politicians were willing to let it just die. We said no," Obama told college students last week in Ann Arbor, Mich. "We believe in the workers of this state." That's Obama meeting with students last week in the photo.
