DETROIT (CNNMoney) -- General Motors is poised to once again be No. 1 in global auto sales, after three years out of the top spot.

It's a comeback that will be official when final 2011 sales figures are reported in the coming weeks.

Recapturing the top spot seemed unthinkable in 2008 when GM lost the title. At the time, the company was in a tailspin. Its very future was uncertain, and a bankruptcy filing and federal bailout loomed.

In the midst of an economic crisis, with 25 million people needing work, policies that strengthen the hand of labor unions at the expense of both businesses and workers are probably the last thing the country has needed. But President Obama, in political debt to labor leaders who have funneled union funds to the coffers of the Democratic Party and who are vital to his reelection bid, is willing and eager to press forward with Big Labor’s agenda.

He pursued “Card Check” legislation that would have stripped workers of the right to vote by secret ballot on whether to unionize. He issued an order requiring workers on stimulus projects to become union members. He appointed Big Labor cronies to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) where they have wreaked havoc on the law. Perhaps the best known example is the agency’s decision to bring charges against Boeing—the nation’s largest exporter—for opening a billion-dollar manufacturing facility and hiring over 1,000 new workers in a Right-to-Work state.

Far from contributing to economic recovery, the Obama administration’s highly politicized labor policies have instead dampened business investment and made the employment climate worse. Overall, it is a familiar story from the annals of American politics: favors were given and favors were repaid, and the American people lost out in the transaction.

Here is the result of Republican policies of bashing the middle class worker....

Are you claiming Obama caused the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in March? Should this thread be in conspiracy theories, because that is one wacky theory.
 
Romney would have broken up GM and shipped their jobs overseas.
 

5.0 to 8.5 unemployment with a 10% thrown in and Democrats are singing praises...sheesh

Pure conjecture and you know it.

If Obama had nothing to do with it and Republicans did, why are the job numbers better in 08 and 09?

Mr. Romney, whose father, George, served as the chief executive of American Motors, opposed the government bailout of Chrysler and General Motors in 2008, instead arguing for a “managed bankruptcy” approach. In a New York Times Op-Ed article that year, titled “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt,” Mr. Romney argued against the multibillion dollar bailout.

“If General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye,” he wrote. “In a managed bankruptcy, the federal government would propel newly competitive and viable automakers, rather than seal their fate with a bailout check.”

Wonderful. Are they profitable and paying us back yet?

The banks are profitable too, but when they were challenged, the right lined up behind them. I guess the working man doesn't count!

Instead, we paid them billions and then....

They went through bankruptcy...


IOW, Obama spent billions avoiding what Romney said to do and then did it anyway. Way to go!

So, your response to a list of the shit Obama has done is... blame the Republicans. Typical.

Tell me, Chris... when is the surgery to remove your lips from Obama's ass? I'll send flowers.

I tell ya, this government of ours sure knows how to run a private business, doesn't it ---?

God, you're a fucking moron.
 
Myself, I'd be ashamed to start threads like this...

Obama did this, saved that, created this, saved us people

But as we see, Obamabots have no shame...

rather pathetic if you ask me
