More relevant today than when it was made (several years ago). Possibly the greatest political ad ever in Michigan politics.

We have a lot of CEO’s in Michigan. Currently their employment involves collecting shopping carts in the parking lot at Kroger’s.

Probably not the T plant. Wasn’t that one on Woodward across from Sears in Highland Park?
