President Obama is telling us that the American auto industry is clicking on all cylinders. That isn't quite true. General Motors used to be number one in the world, they are now number two behind Honda and Toyota.
Chrysler is owned by Fiat, another foreign company. Ford is barely treading water.
The big banks of America mysteriously misplaced two billion dollars and have no idea where it went. They don't want to admit to mishandling of the money or corruption. Obama tells us that the troops from the Iraq War all went home, that is not true either. The U.S. government sent 100,000 troops to Afghanistan to beef up our other troops there.
We still have over 10,000 troops in Iraq. Then he tells us that job production is the highest that it's been in years. That isn't true either. Manufacturing jobs are disappearing into third world countries at the highest rate in years. President Obama telling the American public the economy is all hunky dory is like saying Jeffrey Dahmer had an eating disorder.
