Good. The feds can only make things worse and conservatives should seize the opportunity.

But, but, but Obama said he wasn’t going to let Detroit go under. Do you think that was just pandering rhetoric before the 2012 election????

Two things: 1) nobody needs more of government's "help." 2) he doesn't even say "the govenmnt" but "the WH" as in consolidation of power.

We must never let the people of Detroit forget that the Democrats have tossed them overboard and that its Republicans who are trying to help.

There’s gonna be a bailout, and you know it.

The whole Democrat Party funding mechanism is gonna fall apart if public employee unions start taking it up the shorts.

The only time the people of Detroit will ever see Joe Biden again is if he decides to run for president in 2016.

In which case, he will drop in every once in a while to visit wealthy donors and union bosses prior to primary season.

Then, to win primary votes as his campaign heats up, he will take full credit for anything good that might have happened in post-bankrupt Detroit and also make exorbitant promises to provide help from Washington if elected.
