Two months from now Obama buys out the Auto industry.
Bush won't impose limits to prevent them from sending the money over seas so they just have to wait.

These are his people and he needs to support them and shame on the puss Democrats who don't have the balls to do it.

3. So He's Supposed To Save A Failing Industry?
He puts on his cape, swoops over Detroit and all of a sudden cars are being sold like hotcakes?

Yep, let's just throw money good over bad at an industry that has no clue on how to be profitable in a competitive world and is using this chance to bust out those evil, nasty unions.

The auto industry's real mess is tied into the credit mess...people can't buy cars cause they can't get loans and then why would they want one that will cost them a fortune in gas and maintenance? The powers in Detroit had 30 years to create a new generation of vehicles that weren't so wedded to the price of gas and fought both change and the unions. So now it's up to those who didn't create this mess to take the blame and those who made it to be shoveled billions to fix it?

Yeah...seems simple to me... :sarcasm:
