    Score a big one for Obama. Auto-manufacturing is the backbone of American manufacturing and if it weren't for Obama loaning GM money, which Republicans were against, our manufacturing would have taken another hit. Not to mention, it's share of the market would most likely be replaced by a foreign competitor. Obama is for America. Are Republicans?

    TOYOTA USA alone has a market cap that's worth almost 3 times as much as GM. Wake me up when GM market cap hits $50 billions mark.

    Americans were for letting GM reorganize in the bankruptcy courts. Not having the Obama administration intervene and use taxpayer money to prop up the threatened investments of the UAW (who were greatly responsible for GM's problems to begin with).
    Just how disingenuous are you anyway?

    What? Is this some form of parody?

    Do you have a source for your claims?

    How do overseas auto sales help the American worker?

    President George W. Bush outlined a plan that would hand $13.4 billion this month and next to General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC. Both companies have said they soon might be unable to pay their bills without federal help.

    Can Obama possibly take anymore credit for the things Bush did?

    Do you mean the article that I posted? Or do you need me to provide a source claiming Republicans were against the bailout?

    I asked a simple question. Provide a source for your claim that Americans were for GM going through the bankruptcy court.

    You have been mislead.

    Obama is not pro America.

    He is pro auto union because they support him politically.

    Without them he might not be president and would have to pay for his own vacations instead of the taxpayers funding them.

    Bush started the whole bailout of the automakers so you all have him to thank for their success.

    LOL Bush. Funny, you conservatives sure liked to blame Obama whenever GM was mentioned. Now that GM is very profitable again, we can thank Bush. How transparent.

    Typical. GM is proving the bailout was the right move and you talk about Obama's vacations. Getting desperate?

    I gave the link of the news story so go read it yourself. This was all from Bush and Obama just followed his lead. Its a fact and undebatable.

    Actually Obama took office in 2009. It was pretty much all Obama. Bush got the ball rolling, that's it.

    If you give any company that much taxpayer money they are going to look good for a while.

    Maybe as long as Obama is in office?

    Exactly, thank you for agreeing with me. It was Bush's idea which Obama correctly followed.

    LOL... I see it's all on Obama when the right complains about the bailout but it's Bush's success when GM prospers!

    Actually no. You still need to make a quality product and have credible business plans. The latter is which delayed them from getting a bailout sooner than they did.

    Just correcting this post with factual evidence. This post wasn't made by a republican.

    You conservatives sure like to blame Obama for GM. And I thought you conservatives were against the bailout?

    You do remember when Bush passed the first stimulus? The correct response would be that some conservatives are against stimulus while others think there has been too much stimulus.

    You should never make blanket statements about a group.

    Bush talked about putting a man on Mars, so when it happens it's going to be his success too?

    Unionized car plans are 27% more productivity and have 30% less accidents/deaths.
    Not to mention Germany produces twice the amount of cars as America yest has like 50% higher benefits for its workers.
    The Obama auto bailout saved 1 million jobs. So the real question is how disingenuous are you anyway, and how much of a partisan hack are you anways?

    Sure if he had outlined a specific plan for it that the future president followed exactly.
