Don’t Bail Out US Automakers

Monday, November 17th, 2008

#dontgo has a petition up to send to Congress to protest bailing out US automakers. You can go here to sign it. CW has it that American car makers don't make cars that people want to buy. I don't think that's the real reason. People want the cars that Detroit builds, otherwise ...

So far this morning I've heard Maria Cardona and Stephanie Cutter trying to explain Joe Biden's remarks from Sunday. Both are saying that with the world as it is today, whoever is elected president will be tested, especially with the "failed policies of the last eight years". Joe Biden said: Mark my words. ...
