On February 13, 2008, Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama stated, “This can be America’s future. 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.” (Source: Wikipedia)
If that plant will be around for another hundred years as Barack said it would he better get started. Even if it closed about 3 weeks before Barack took office he owed it to Janesville Assembly to reopen the plant. Surprise, surprise , politicians lie, news commentators get thrills up their legs when they see Barack, and we stay unemployed, on food stamps, and losing hope.
