Auto companies in better shape now?
Well, Ford is because they refused to take money!
Chrysler, obama gave the company to fiat!
Chebbie? They are in such crap shape, they are looking to have china buy them out!
Money we lost because obama has to stimulate the auto companies (actually he did it to pay back the unions that supported him)?
Money obama stimulated overseas? Humongous amount!
Jobs lost because of his auto stimulation? Still in the thousands to tens of thousands!
Jobs lost because of his policies? Well, look at the poverty rate, the number of people out of work, those who quit looking for work, the number who went on welfare, the number who went on disability, and on and on!
The man freaking ruined our country!
The USA is the laughing stock of the world because of this bowing and scraping the floor president!
Don't get me started on this pos.

Jobs were being lost for many many years in the Auto industry way before Obama took office.
And the unemployment rate which began to rise with the fall of the housing market and financial crises, again started before Obama took office peaked in Oct 2009 and has since dropped to 8.2.

No the man didn't ruin out country, the country has been in trouble way before he got in the White House.
I just dont like to see people pile everything on one guy when most of the problems began before he took office and it has got better, not a whole lot better but better none the less.
Remember it takes two to tango and Congress has a lot of blood on their hands.
