Midknight Review -- new and revised: Back to the Campaign: Did or did not Obama promise to keep the Janesville GM plant open regardless as to time of closer ?

PolitiFact: "Ryan said Obama broke his promise to keep a Wisconsin GM plant from closing. But we don't see evidence he explicitly made such a promise -- and more importantly, the Janesville plant shut down before he took office. We rate Ryan's statement False."

From PolitFact, we [also] have the Obama quote in question:

I know that General Motors received some bad news yesterday, and I know how hard your Governor has fought to keep jobs in this plant. But I also know how much progress you’ve made – how many hybrids and fuel-efficient vehicles you’re churning out. And I believe that if our government is there to support you, and give you the assistance you need to re-tool and make this transition, that this plant will be here for another hundred years. The question is not whether a clean energy economy is in our future, it’s where it will thrive. I want it to thrive right here in the United States of America; right here in Wisconsin; and that’s the future I’ll fight for as your President. -- Obama 2008.

Understand that the plant closed its truck division in April of 2009 and is closed to this day. Obama’s henchmen have busied themselves debating the time of closer for this plant when, in point of fact, the time of the closer really is wholly unimportant, is it not?

Think about it as you read, again, the Obama statement. Understand that the plant was not closed until after the election, but – honestly – what difference does that make? Understand that if the Janesville plant is/was a GM plant, and it is/was, is it not proper to ask why it was not reopened under the Obama/GM bankruptcy plan?

Point of post: to reiterate the notion that major media sources in this country including so-called “fact checking” concerns are wholly in the tank for Obama and will go so far as to lie or set up false assumptions as they work in concert with the Marxist News Media for the re-election of Barry Obama.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
