[JBoy]

2. Now with more detailed weasel words!

[LSK]

4. AGAIN NOBODY WAS LOANING MONEY AT THAT TIME

[bluestateguy]

16. Our "job creator" friends in the banks failed to step up to the plate

and do their patriotic duty

To be honest with you I would have preferred a presidential executive order ordering all the banks to loosen up lending in 2009.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

30. Would that be legal?

[XemaSab]

5. He just got TOLD!

15. If the plant had stayed open past Obama's inauguration then he might have been able to save it...

Scott Walker you are a fucking douche.

[bullwinkle428]

18. What a fucking smarmy little bastard that Walker is.

[reformist2]

19. Point of Information: What is the TRUTH about the GM plant?

[Cali_Democrat]

21. Plant closed in 2008

Obama didn't become President until 2009, but the GOP corporate whores blame the plant closure on Obama.

[BumRushDaShow]

22. See this and note the closure DATE

http://articles.cnn.com/2008-11-19/us/ohio.plant.closing_1_gm-plant-truck-plant-gmc-envoy?_s=PM:US

Plant closes 12/23/2008
President inaugurated 1/21/2009

[reformist2]

24. Thanks!

[moondust]

26. Walker falsely implies that Obama promised

that every plant related to the U.S. auto industry would stay open, and thus Obama broke his promise because they didn't all stay open. Of course that's utter nonsense.

Walker naturally promotes Rmoney's "Let Detroit go bankrupt!" idea because the bankruptcy approach would have facilitated some major union busting--which is what Walker is all about.

[LSK]

20. Scott Walker is having a staffer fired right now!!!

"Who got me on MSNBC!?!?!?"

[XemaSab]

27. Especially since they totally ran a train on him

:popcork:

23. The plant built a now obsolete design body on frame Trailblazer/Envoy with shitty mileage

but was loved by it's hundreds of thousands of owners, with a stellar record or few recalls and one of the hottest stealth rockets GM ever made, the SS Trailblazer.


The in-line 6 cylinder 285HP engine that was standard was an awesome and reliable motor, but it was pulling a 4000lb. + SUV around that was being replaced by the Traverse family of AWD vehicles.


It was too costly to retool the plant and unlike Toyota, GM doesn't build a vehicle for every niche segment of the market.


I do want to own an SS one day.

25. The Typhoon and Cyclone in the mid 80's

Talk about sleepers, with the Buick turbo v6.

[DainBramaged]

29. Actually, it was a 4.3 liter V6 Chevy built motor that is STILL used as the base in Silverados

the Buick Turbo V6 was later used in the Firebird TA in 1989


What an awsome pair of trucks.

[Paulie]

31. And they were early 90s not 80s

Memory fades...

[DainBramaged]

32. No problem, just the fact you remembered was cool
