5. 20 years too late, I'm afraid
10 years ago they might have had a shot. It's going to take the biggest financial genius in the world to help them.

3. Thanks to those who outsourced jobs. Who can compete with the cost of overseas labor?
And workers are forced to do more in less time and bad vehicles are shipped out the door.

What a mess. The auto industry was the backbone of America.

6. ALL industry in the US is doing the same thing, not just the auto industry.

4. Michigan just went to +20 for Obama on this news, I'm sure...


Indiana and Ohio, I'm sure, will get many more Obama votes now too.


But damn, it does suck.


Hopefully President Obama can fix it in 2 months.
