In a show of bipartisanship, both the House of Representatives and Senate have passed the legislation. South Korea has used taxes and tariffs to make imported vehicles much more expensive than those produced in that country.”
“President Obama arrives here on Friday on another visit to Michigan, seeking not only the electoral votes that are essential to his re-election effort, but a platform for a far bigger message,” the New York Times adds. “He has returned again and again, nine times since taking office, to argue that his decision to bail out two of the Big Three automakers helped workers here and across the industrial Midwest. He has offered up a rebuttal to criticism about the value of government intervention.”
“Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood ‘let it slip to reporters that he would leave his post after 2012 at the end of President Obama's first term,’ the Wall Street Journal reports,” per Political Wire.

Secretary La hood has done a terrific job.
Interesting ... Even La Hood knows he wil be leaving with all the rest of the Obama Adminstration after Obama is defeated next year.
Hyuck hyuck good one Senior! So employee turnover and/or attrition only happens when an organization is "shutdown" or when layoffs occur? Interesting...
The American car industry kept alive by President Obama will keep Michigan blue in 2012 despite Romney's personal history with Michigan. That state would be in a world of hurt now if it hadn't been for Obama. I believe they all know it too.
Michigan wouldn't matter AnaBanana. If it wasn't for President Obama we'd all be bowing at the feet of Grover Norquist now, you know the king of the tea people GOP republicans, his queen Karl Rove and his court of jesters the congress. Of course the rich would own everything so we would have to beg them for food, water, air to breath and anything else we needed to survive, while they sit on their thrown eating their big chicken leg counting their gold coins.
Michigan will follow Harrisburg,PA next. Auto makers are moving out. Michigan will bleed itself into default. Its sad, but true.
You guys realize that it is Michigan vs Michigan State Football weekend here, right?
You just pissed off half the state of Michigan that reads FR with that headline.
I thought the Badgers, were the Wolverines big rival?
now there's a novel idea, korea, like germany, china, japan etc use taxes and high tarrifs to protect the sales of their products in their country. hmmm, could it be why we lose sooooo many jobs? where is our protection????????????????
