It’s always more effective to mock someone if you have your facts straight. Yesterday Robert Gibbs responded to a question about critics of the auto industry bailout, and the takeover of GM. I guess he forgot which companies the federal government bailed out.
The Wall Street Journal: “We’ve got auto companies that for the first time since 2004 all showed an operating profit in the first quarter of this year. It’s adding jobs. And the money that this administration invested — about $60 billion — we believe we’re on the path to recouping all of that. That’s a significant story.
“I’ll let those that sat in the cheap seats a year-and-a-half ago and wanted to walk away” from a milion workers, he continued, “explain to every one of those workers why they made that decision.”
Finally, he wrapped it up: “And then you should ask Mr. Limbaugh — I don’t know what kind of car he drives, but I bet it’s not an F-150.”
The F-150 truck, we should note, is made by Ford, which didn’t get federal rescue funds.
Oops!
This just shows the arrogance of this administration.
Ford didn’t need a bailout as they made sound financial decisions.
I suspect GM, like government, has become all about the unions and not being a profitable company.
Obama says he doesn’t want to run GM.. Oh yeah? Then why hasn’t the gov’t relinquished it’s holdings?
ALSO: Um, Gibbs is um, a um, tool. He cannot begin to hold a candle to the late Tony Snow.
