DETROIT (AP) -- U.S. car and truck sales showed signs of stabilizing in June after a year of sharp declines, but every major automaker except Honda Motor Co. reported lower sales than in May.

Still, year-over-year declines last month slowed for four of the six major carmakers, with Ford Motor Co. reporting the smallest drop in a year at 10.7 percent when compared with June of 2008.

The "auto writer" for AP parrots the Democratic party line...it is incredible. Sales are horrific and there are NO SIGNS, even the clunker fallacy, that they will improve.

We have no media, just propaganda. Here is another gem from the article:

"Economists say there are signs that the economy is recovering, with housing starts rising more than expected in May and wholesale prices remaining in check. But the Conference Board reported Wednesday that consumer confidence fell unexpectedly in June."

READ that paragraph...the spin is literally DIZZYING. They try to freely associate housing starts, consumer confidence with an "unexpected" loss. Do you think billion dollar roads and airports produce wealth when they are being BORROWED from the CHINESE at 4%? You dumb, dumb Obamabots!

Our media is an Obama/Soros lapdog, this proves it.

I like how they call it “stabilizing”. Stabilizing would be sales getting back to where they were before the depression. Insults the intelligence, doesnt it ? LOL.

Point of clarification:

Do you think billion dollar roads TO NOWHERE and JOHN MURTHA’s 2-flights-a-day airports produce wealth when they are being BORROWED from the CHINESE at 4% (OR MORE)?

Thank you.

“US auto sales declines show signs of stability”

Say what?! This part of the Orwellian “new-speak” or is the author just that stupid? Maybe both?

With Bush after they had to report GOOD news the second paragraph started with ‘but’ and then spins negative.

With Obama after they have to report BAD news the second paragraph starts with ‘still’ and then spins positive.

Job losses are less than expected, that is a sign of improvement?

Sort of like “The beatings will continue until morale improves”

We just went car shopping for a new small truck. The show rooms were devoid of salesmen and customers. Many Dealers are closing early in the evenings. A single equiry will cause multiple phone call fall ups. They are hungry.
A one Dealer they said that they had to find their last saleman..he was around somewhere.

It would be pretty funny if you could whispere in their ears, “Pssst! George W. Bush is really the President,” and watch them rewrite this story.

The Waxman-Markey Crap and Tax seems to suggest so.

No, stabilizing means exactly that, that losses are slowing or stopping. To return to what they were would be “recovering.”

GM's decline improved when compared with previous months even though it entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on June 1.

OMG!

I better rush out there and buy a GM car (green of course) before they are all out.

Wait, I know. I'll buy another one, on spec, at the same time.

Glad I found out that GM's decline is "improved".

When the masses are forced to eat rice and live in huts while singing the national anthem in front of a Kenyan flag, the MSM will still be in bed with the obamanator.

The dishonesty of the media is breathtaking. Anything to support its politics and advance the Hussein line of the day.
