Obama wants a bail-out for ‘every industry’
OBAMA: LET’S EXTEND AUTO INDUSTRY “SUCCESS” TO “EVERY INDUSTRY”
President Obama, while vilifying Mitt Romney for opposing the auto industry bailout, bragged about the success of his decision to provide government assistance. He went on to say that he now wants to see every manufacturing industry come back, presumably through similar means. [via Politico]
“I said, I believe in American workers, I believe in this American industry, and now the American auto industry has come roaring back,” he said. “Now I want to do the same thing with manufacturing jobs, not just in the auto industry, but in every industry.
“I don’t want those jobs taking root in places like China, I want those jobs taking root in places like Pueblo,” Obama told a crowd gathered for a campaign rally at the Palace of Agriculture at the Colorado State Fairgrounds here.
While he’s talking up the need for manufacturing jobs in the U.S., I’d like to remind that Obama’s bus was made in Canada. It was designed in part by Prevost, a motor coach manufacturer based in Quebec, and carried a $1.1 million price tag (paid for by U.S. tax payers).
