Midknight Review -- new and revised: Obama is going to Ford, who rejected his help back in 2009, to claim credit for the auto industry's "recovery," while speaking at a plant which is closed due to lack of sales . . . did I get that right?

Out of the Detroit Free Press, we have this statement:

The White House had announced the trip to Michigan on Saturday but only released the site of Wednesday's visit today, saying the president will deliver remarks recognizing the growth in the American auto and manufacturing sectors and highlighting "the decision to save the auto industry and the over one million jobs that went with it."

Although efforts to prop up the domestic automakers during the financial crisis five years ago began under then-President George W. Bush, it was Obama's administration which provided the bulk of some $80-billion in bridge financing and investment that are widely credited with helping to save General Motors and Chrysler.

Clearly, Obama and his supporters will miss the humor in this, so, allow me to help.

We begin with the fact that he did nothing to "save" Ford, nor did he help Honda "recover," or Toyota, or KIA, or Plymoth, or . . . . . . In fact, Ford refused his help, back in the day. Secondly, Chrysler is now owed by Fiat, having failed under American ownership, and General Motors gave up and sold its stock for a 1.5 billion dollar loss, because it could not make enough money to pay off the original investment loan. Third, Obama violated the primary bond holders' contract with GM and Chrysler, destroying the retirement funds for several police and teacher unions, in order to give the unions a shot at industry ownership. And, finally, the biggest joke of all, is the fact that Obama will be speaking at a Ford plant that closed for the week, due to poor sales volume.

Update: Let's not forget the golf-cart give away program this presidential genius came invented: giving away golf-carts via tax credits, thinking it would help the auto industry. And while we are "not forgetting," let's not forget the Cash for Clunkers idiocy, that went 3 billion dollars over budget and did absolutely nothing for auto industry sales.

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."
