"We refused to let Detroit go bankrupt... We bet on American workers and American ingenuity, and three years later, that bet is paying off in a big way."  -Obama 10/13/12

Quality post lawrence. You're a valuable member and asset to this message board community.

[Jay]

So he actually doesn't give a shit about Detroit

[Blarg]

Maybe Detroit should go up for bids as to which state gets to take it over.

Excellent.

The states that don't have to take over Detroit win that one, right?

Detroit is a poster child for the urban areas that rot while the suburbs thrive. 3 million in the suburbs and 700,000 in the city. they take all the money to Sterling Heights or Livonia and watch the city that bears the name of their teams turn turn to crap. St. Louis is much the same way now.

[St1ck]

Just give it to Canada.

Justin Verlander could buy it with his meal money.

Last time I checked GM played a small part of Detroit's economy but I may be wrong.

[HaloMagic]

Are you arguing GM isn't better today than 4 years ago? Or are you actually not understanding that his reference to "Detroit" had nothing to do with the actual city and that he was referring to car companies. Yes, GM has a continued influence on the City of Detroit's economy. No, the City of Detroit isn't doing good. Yes, GM is much improved fiscally, as are other American car manufacturers. No, the fact that the City of Detroit is financial insolvent doesn't have anything to do with whether the US car companies are doing well or not.

Thanks Bush!

[TobiasFunke]

Thanks Bush!

You mispelled Obama

[mtangelsfan]

Nope, since Bush gets blamed for anything bad in Obama's presidency then he should get credit for the few good things that happen during it.

 

 

So, thanks Bush.

That assumes that someone would be interested.
