Reply #79: So, because they were laid off...

... then the rest of the employees should have lost their jobs as well? What would that have served?

I never said all of the laid-off workers have been called back -- and you know it.

I will say this one more time: Obama DID NOT CAUSE THE RECESSION. He did not cause GM and Chrysler's problems. But, at a crucial time when it would have been easier to let those companies die, he acted to save them. And yes, the last time I drove past the Chrysler headquarters, it was still open. Those people are still earning paychecks, thanks to Obama's actions. Same is true at GM's HQ.

It is nonsense to say that Obama "did nothing" just because he could not roll back all of the impact the devastating recession had on the auto industry. It is ridiculously unfair to blame Obama for the problems that had been brewing for decades prior to his election.

Like I said: thousands of folks at the GM Tech Center, GM headquarters, Chrysler's headquarters and numerous other production and engineering facilities are earning paychecks now that would nobody would be writing if Obama had not acted. That is a good thing.t's hard to believe that anyone thinks it isn't.
