On GM plant becomes political football

President Obama came to Janesville in Feb 2008 and said exactly what Paul Ryan quoted in his speech, as was reported here in the GazetteXtra.

Then the plant closed in April 2009, as was reported here in the GazetteXtra.

Paul Ryan was telling the truth. Obama was sure talking big in Feb. 2008 when he thought government was the answer to all of our problems, but the truth is it isn't. He didn't try to help the GM plant stay open. He forgot all about it after he was elected.

BTW the stimulus was signed by Obama on February 18 2009. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB12348795...

Nothing for Janesville GM plant in there, for as much money as that monstrosity threw around.

It's funny that the author of this article states that the plant was closed in December 2008, when the GazetteXtra actually reported that the plant was finally closing on April 23, 2009. Maybe he should read his own paper.
