Obama Saved Detroit

[Straight Shooter]

He rescued GM and Chrysler three years ago and now they're back and better than ever. GM is now back on top as the world’s No. 1 automaker. Look, the city of Detroit is still struggling but we've now turned the corner and we're on the right track. Clint will tell you:

Damn right brother. The auto bail out was a loan and is paid back with interest, while the bank tarp was a gift to help a curropt system. Let's put pride where it belongs, in American goodc and the U.S. auto companies

 

[Supafly]

The comeback of General Motors is indeed a gigantic success story.

What a lame commercial.

Oh yeah well I say "so fucking what"?!! A goddamned fish saved Pittsburgh!!!!



Sorry Iceman....don't mean to hijack your thread but the title immediately made me think of this....ahhhh how I miss the disco days (not!!!). Anyway, now back to more Obama superhero worship.

It wasn't Obama, it was you and the rest of the popullation with your taxes.

Obama Saved Detroit

And what a great job he has done! :2 cents:

We'll probably lose about 1 billion 3 on the deal, but I still say it's worth it. The autoworkers are all getting nice profit-sharing checks as well, which as a supporter of working people, I very happy to hear. If the all the stupid-ass angry white men ever wake up and stop voting to be fucked-in-the-ass economically, we might actually have a chance at a decent country again.

Hey....if a republican like Clint Eastwood is on board, there's hope for all of us. From the Super Bowl last night in case you missed it:

"it's half time America"

Damn what a sexy-ass voice. Mah man Clint's still got that swagga.

Detroit isn't the only city in America with rough neighborhoods. Come over here to Chicago and I can show you the same thing. The same can be said for all of our mjaor cities. They all have their bad areas.

Well, it was a team effort actually, don't you think?

From another thread.....

The president has no control over gas and food prices Get some new material guys. We all want to blame the president for everything but we forget about this thing called Congress, they have a role in this too. The American President in my opinion gets too much blame and/or too much credit.

I stand by my statement. The American President in general gets either too much blame and/or too much credit. The economic numbers that came out this week relating to drop in unemployment is a perfect example. I'm a Obama supporter but I honestly can't tell you specifically how Obama brought down unemployment. But this happened under his watch and so he gets the credit for it. That's just the way it goes

Thought I'd be the first to admit that the state has little influence on real life events, they can steer the society little by little in a certain direction.
Obama carries responsibility for the loan they offered GM and he therefore supported already existing sentiments, willingness and workpower. It always are the people on the street who create society, but the state can promote or discourage certain actions/visions/beliefs etc.

Actually, he didn't bring it down.

Stop the propaganda. Obama did nothing. Chicago is just as crime ridden as it has been. It's the next Detroit if things don't change.

GM did not comeback yet. They will have to start making the brands they stopped making to make that claim.

 

[D-rock]

If this is what Detroit is liked "saved" I would hate to see what an unsaved version of the city would look like.

You don't know what you're talking about. I live in Chicago and crime has actually gone down. Plus all the violence you hear about on the news is concentrated to only a few neighborhoods
