You can't honestly believe this, right? Here is a start - http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444860104577558723207171952.html Here is a quick visual on jobs created by this president vs. a lot of others - http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/post/president-obamas-job-creation-problem--in-one-chart/2012/08/02/gJQA58tsRX_blog.html This one's tougher. The industry was not in danger; two large companies were. It's not the case anymore that the "American" auto industry means Ford, GM and Chrysler. Quite a few other companies, large and small, with interests here were doing relatively well (Ford, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Kia, Hyundai, BMW and Mercedes Benz). As tough as it would have been to watch them fail, they should have. They would have filed, and been reborn under a new name or bought out. Again, tough, but the government should have stayed out of it.
