Also, the Kelo land rights/property rights. He was very passive. Of course his stadium with the Rangers was based on taking private land for million dollar base ball players, millionaire owners.....for a kids game.
Yeah these 21,000 jobs failed to be “created or saved”.
Hmmm, how’s that 3,000,000 “created or saved” number looking these days?
I learned to drive in a 1967 Ford Galaxy, former police B/W car. With a 427 engine. That thing could $h!t & git. I could blow the carbon out like nobody’s business.
Great car. Great car.
Stick to the subject of GM! sheeze...
Huh? The subject was GM!
Bush released loans to the automakers that had already been approved by Congress a few years back.
I’m in the market for a new car right now and can assure you the American manufacturers are persona non grata in my search.
That’s usually when I bail out as well.
Gottlieb often uses what I call the Molly Ivins Gambit. Quote a ‘study’ from a fanatical left-wing outfit and base an entire column on cherry-picked facts (making the resultant column even more left-wing!). Concluding paragraphs usually include some scold against the GOP, conservatives and/or non-Dem voters about how their greed will destroy America/the environment/the world.
At this point I honestly wonder if Gottlieb resides anywhere near Dayton. Nobody who does could survey the current landscape and conclude that unions, Democrats (especially Dayton’s brand of know-nothings starting with the giant corn flake of a mayor) high taxes and regulation are good things for business or quality of life in general.
The Plain Dealer has a regular columnist, Connie Schultz, whose husband is a Dem US Senator. Yes, Lynne Cheney writes the occasional piece but she is not employed full-time by any newspaper. Yet the PD allows Schultz and her henhouse peer Regina Brett trot out the most insipid drivel ever committed to newsprint.
Bush spent YOUR money like a drunken sailor, including giving money to GM/Chrysler. whether or not the congress had approved it previously for something else is irrelevant.

If free market principles cannot save a free market then the whole idea of a free market is a lie.
What George W. Bush was really doing was reacting with naked fear to a painful reality of free market adjustments.
THEY CREATE GREAT PAIN BUT ARE NECESSARY - JUST LIKE OPERATIONS PERFORMED ON SICK PATIENTS.
I think Buick is GM’s anti Lexus. The Enclave is selling very well. And this 2010 Lacrosse takes direct aim at Lexus ES 350.

Ford is still trying, no bailouts for them, their new F150 is something I have been considering. It looks like a good truck. Having had a Ford for 20 years ...
But the STYLING is so OLD-fashioned..no clean lines.
This was a doozy:
The Unions and DNC have finally got what they have wanted for 30 yrs, death of the Auto Industry.
Pray for America
LOL! That's not an answer. And Bush averaged a yearly $200 billion budget deficit. Hardly the $2 trillion we see now.
I won’t argue with your post, but this argument you jumped into was specific to GM.
I never went there, but did hear this in their radio ads.
if you look at his last 2 years you will see where the money went.
admit it....he was a 'spend' republican president..it started in year one...with no child left behind bullcrap that he coauthored with ‘the swimmer’ Ted Kennedy.
he was a quintillion times better president than the Turd in Chief we have now...but lets call it like it is
He was NO Ronald Reagan. he is a mirror image of his RINO father...
this is a Conservative website. I suggest you look for a moderate RINO website to haunt.
The largest deficit that Bush has was $412 billion. That’s hardly the $2 trillion we have this fiscal 2009!
