Wrong! GM still owes the American taxpayer. When you look at the loss carry-forwards, normally expunged in BK + the time value of money, GM is going to leave USA taxpayers on the hook for $50 Billion. NOt only that, but our gov't, which is supposed to act as an impartial referee, actually screwed GM shareholders and bondholders out of Billions because the Democrats are beholdin to Big Labor [read: the UAW]. Obama is the Thief-in-Chief.

Booker did tell one hard truth about a president who has, sadly, struck a very anti-business tone in his administration. I might add that John Huntsman, a Republican, told a very hard truth when he declared "Six super-huge banks that HAVE to be bailed out is not capitalism!" and I did not hear any other Republicans cheering him on for it.

Since this vedeo he has recanted everything he said.....THEY got to him...The O team bought his ass...........He is a COWARD.

Well since you brought up "black males", ask "black males" how they'll fair under Romney LOL... (trust me, you won't like the answers). Again, you're rusty on the facts, things overall are better. Of course some aspects have yet to come around. But what else would you expect after such a sham job Bush, and the Republican policies did pre-Obama. The fact that "most" aspects are increasingly better is a miracle considering what Obama walked into. Now Romney wants us to go back the other way

Yes, it is an excellent question: Are you better off today then you were four years ago. Ask the black male population if that is true! Americans are NOT better off now than they were four years ago, except those of us who have money. The women you spoke of probably didn't want to discuss her financial situation and is most likely being evicted right now. Are homes worth more or less than they were four years ago? LESS. Stay delusional and pretend the numbers are better!

Something funny happened on talk radio today. A liberal guy and a conservative woman got into a heated debate, and the liberal guy killed her with one question: Are we better off today than we were 4 years ago..... Then you heard cricketts... Then she called him "liberal trash" and hung up LOL..... To say otherwise, she would've had to lie LOL... See for yourself, read the data (but I'm sure you'll find a way to distort it with right-wing talking points lol..)

Wow, that's ironic.. Romney going around telling people about how bad things are, and now he and Karl Rove are trying shush Republican Governors who are forced to admit that their state is doing better economically due to the Obama administration, because it makes Mittens look like a liar that he is lol...

[ladylordess]

Romney, as I myself know to be fact, is that to let the auto industry follow the rule of law, and file bankruptcy, would not have allowed them to fail any more than they already have! They are/were in the position they allowed themselves in because they failed! Did the Airline industry fail after filing bankruptcy? NO! They are flying today! The way Obama did the auto industry was just a massive transfer of wealth to the unions and foreign interests. THAT all ads up to who obama is!

[imalwaysright08]

In fact, it's Romney who wants businesses to fail, he wanted GM to fail, him and other Repubs suggest Obama let them all of the struggling banks fail. LOL... You're claims just aren't adding up. Do you really pay attention to politics, or are you just learning as you go, while debating me on things you appear to not know much about? No really, it's a serious question..

[imalwaysright08]

It's kind of funny though, the right-wing FRINGE wackos run around calling people "Socialist", "Communist", when it doesn't even apply. It's like the good ole boys "Learnt" a new word today, and say it just for the hell of it. LOL It's quite amusing...
