Obama & Detroit....

I should "like" this post of yours because it clearly demonstrates how damn ignorant you are but then again I'd have to "like" all of your posts if that was the standard.

Yep! In his own words.

 

...I could certainly say the same about you...
To say the fate of the auto industry has no bearing on the city is beyond stupid, even for you.

 

You could....but because you are so ignorant and have proven so here that no one would believe you.

 

REALLY!!! Is that what he said?

 

David, it looks like someone's upset because it's been proven that democrats and unions have ruined the once-great city of Detroit. Detroit's bankruptcy can't be blamed on Republicans or right-to-work, that's for sure.

 

The more you try to push this "Detroit the city & Detroit the auto industry aren't connected" line, the more foolish you appear. I would say your anger shouldn't be directed at people here but rather toward whoever told you to repeat this silly little narrative.

 

No moron, YOU look stupid saying that Obama promised to save Detroit when he was not talking about the city he was talking about the auto industry commonly referred to as Detroit. You just can't learn can you? So sad, so dumb.

 

You're right. I predict a domino effect with more & more cities taking the plunge. I think fog-of-war is particularly sensitive because he fears the next liberal stronghold to fell may just very well be Chicago.

 

Oh, but I didn't say BO promised to save Detroit (future tense) I'm mocking him & the liberal lemmings for actually taking credit & claiming to have saved the city. Some save job, huh?

 

Why don't you imbeciles tell us all again how Obama promised to save the City of Detroit. Play the selectively edited video. And then start talking to each other when you can't defend the nonsense you originally spewed. Oh, check, check, and check.

 

Your inability to comprehend or your adherence to outright lies is indicative of your breed. You can't be a wing nut if there is any ability to either be honest or learn. You qualify.

 

Yeah, we all know a liberal's worst enemy is his own words. Proven to be true again!
The amazing part is that there are still idiots out there willing to fawn over a liar who proves his incompetence time after time.

 

You just can't acknowledge that you F'ed up here can you? We can all see the video you moron's posted and yet you still try to twist and squirm out of the fact that you were wrong. Obama never promised that Detroit, "THE CITY" wouldn't go bankrupt and now YOU know it. So funny to watch you backtrack and change the subject. I've accomplished pointing out your foolish adherence to right-wing lies and distortions and spent way to much time laughing at you this morning. Keep going with the nonsense. Maybe someone else can get a laugh too. I'm done with this pathetic thread.

 

For the slow among us...
BO took credit for having saved the city already, not for a having a plan to save the city at some point in the future. The problem is that BO didn't really ever save Detroit, he just toild a lie & expected his lemmings to believe it. In this case, they did- YOU did- but the lie was exposed. Now do you understand?
Maybe you should just go back over to the Trayvon Martin thread...you're getting shredded here. Heck, your little pet, iqless, hasn't even sees fit to offer you any back-up. You need to talk to him about that!

 

a.) Had you checked out my link, you would have found the entire unedited speech.
b.) Regardless of whether he was talking about the city of Detroit or the auto industry, they both went bankrupt. So what is the difference?

 

Oh I can't resist one more.... Stop watching Fox you morons.

Fox Conflates The City Of Detroit With Automakers To Attack President Obama

Jarrett: The President Vowed Not To Let Detroit Go Bankrupt, "But You Know, He Did, Didn't He?"

Reacting to Detroit's recently announced bankruptcy, Fox News' Gregg Jarrett and Chris Stirewalt repeatedly conflated Detroit automakers with the City of Detroit in order to attack President Obama for breaking a campaign promise to not "let Detroit go bankrupt." However, the President's statement was clearly in reference to the Detroit automakers that received government assistance, not the city itself.
According to The New York Times, "Detroit, the cradle of America's automobile industry and once the nation's fourth-most-populous city, filed for bankruptcy on Thursday, the largest American city ever to take such a course." After it was reported that the White House did not plan to offer financial assistance to the City of Detroit, Jarrett and Stirewalt questioned whether President Obama had gone back on a statement he made in October 2012 when he said, "We refused to let Detroit go bankrupt." Jarrett asserted, "The president did vow, 'I will not let Detroit go bankrupt.' But you know, he did, didn't he?"
But, as CBS News reported at the time, Obama's statement was in reference to an op-ed written by Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in which Romney said, "Let Detroit go bankrupt." According to CBS, the president was responding to that op-ed by pointing to the success of his administration's bailout of the auto-industry."

OBAMA: Just a few years ago, the auto industry wasn't just struggling - it was flatlining. GM and Chrysler were on the verge of collapse. Suppliers and distributors were at risk of going under. More than a million jobs across the country were on the line - and not just auto jobs, but the jobs of teachers, small business owners, and everyone in communities that depend on this great American industry.
But we refused to throw in the towel and do nothing. We refused to let Detroit go bankrupt.​

As Slate's Matthew Yglesias wrote, President Obama and others often used the term "Detroit" to refer to the auto industry. According to Yglesias, "If you or someone you love is going around and finding old quotes in which the words 'Detroit' and 'bankruptcy' appear but it's absolutely clear from context that 'Detroit' is being used as metonymy for auto companies rather than as a way of referring to the municipality then please stop."

 

The auto industry IS Detroit.

 

What is the difference? One is a private corporation and one is a city government. Do you really not know the difference?

 

Ha ha ha ha ha! Classic idiot. I love it. You guys are killing me this morning. Twist and turn idiots, twist and turn.

 

Good riddance.
