Seems to me that the automaker who is actually growing in Detroit is the one that didn't take the money.

We lost $10 billion on the GM bailout.

And $1 billion on the Chrysler bailout.

Obama should just STHU.

Ford did it on its’ own. Zippo does nothing helpful for any company unless it benefits him.

The only jobs 0bama knows anything about is government jobs. The main thing he knows about manufacturing is “you didn’t build that” and that applies to all private enterprise.

Does the $10Bil lost on GM also include the >$12Bil that taxpayers were forced to give to Ally (formerly GMAC Finance)? Remember, the ‘most’ transparent administration also split out GMAC/ALLY from GM in 2009 so the losses on the auto bailout wouldn’t look so bad.

Nothing like messing up Traffic on Michigan Ave, potentially 94, & 275 as well. Not to mention which airport he will fly into ( TFR already in place ) and how that will snarl up everything around which one I think he'll use and then the Motorcade to the plant...
