What? That you're Japanese? Or that you hate American auto companies? Of course, it may not be either, since your intention is to "not make Obama look bad".
Demagoguery
Oh. I knew where you're going with this. You're trying to tell us that Obama was a venture capitalist who bought and sold companies and enjoyed firing the workers, just like Mitt!
Except he didn't. #1, the majority of the bailout came from Bush, Obama just added to it out of TARP, secondly, many of the companies Mitt fucked over (well, actually the employees he enjoyed firing) just ceased to exist, and thirdly, in your desire to "make Obama look good", you don't mention anything at all about the benefits of the bailout; like how many jobs it
saved. That's "more than 1 million jobs in the car industry, supply chain, and communities where auto workers spend their paychecks".
Nor do you make mention of the fact that upon emerging from bankruptcy, GM added 45,000 jobs. I believe that's 15k more than were
lost. See page 4.
Not to mention my earlier post about the booming auto business last year, projected to boom even more this year.
So, unfortunately, the dessimation of the auto industry didn't happen. Unlike the dessimation of thousands of lives of folks fired by Mitt and his greedy partners.
Your point? FAIL!
Oh I knew why you posted it here..I just didn't know why you posted the wrong information... but I'll answer you anyway, it's because you're selling the 'Mitt had to restructure companies at Bain to make them more successful the same way Obama did with GM" line... well you go on with your bad self.. too bad it's apples and oranges, since I would bet Bain did this and fired a whole lot more people than 21,000..
but hey look, you're finally a Mitt-man. I'm happy to see you get behind your Presidential candidate. You never struck me as his kind of guy, but you do waffle a lot so maybe I shouldn't be surprised at your conversion..
Sometimes the Socratic method can work, albeit only partially.
So yes, you’ve made the connection between Obama restructuring GM and Bain taking over and restructuring companies. In both cases, employees lost their jobs during the restructuring, with the hope that the firms could be saved and restored to profitability. So Romney and Obama cut jobs for exactly the same reason.
Sometimes it’s just quicker to directly just tell you the truth, but on occasion I try to see if you can parse that out yourselves. It’s difficult to get through your partisan blinders though.
