where are all the GOP critics of the auto bailout now?

[scheming daemons]

remember last year when folks like Senator Richard Shelby (R-Nissan) and House Minority leader John Boehner (R-Honda) were slamming the bailouts of GM and Chrysler, using derisive terms like "Government Motors" and saying things like "we're sending good money after bad"?

Where are they now that both companies are turning a profit and hundreds of thousands of American jobs were saved?

Where are the hate radio neo-Ayn Randians?

Good for the President to highlight the auto industry turnaround today.

1. GM turning a profit? did it pay back the billions in free gift money already? nt

[Winterblues]

4. It paid back a portion of it

I don't think anyone expected them to repay everything in a single year, did you?

[NoNothing]

5. Some of it

Of course it is also still primarily government-owned. Whether the stock, when sold, will be worth what the government paid for it is an open question.

2. Republicons are busy golfing with their OilCo Cronies (R)

3. Shhhhhhh Thats last years news and the cons don't want folks to remember they were against the Auto

before they were for them. You know the way the cons damned the stimulus, which they all voted against, then went back home and bragged how well their stimulus created jobs in their home districts.
