Not surprisingly, Obama nailed it.

Who was stepping up to the plate?

How would Republicans have responded if both Ford and Chrysler failed under Obama?

Obama saved the U.S. auto industry

They could have gone through bankruptcy and survived.
They could have paid back the entire government loan and survived.

Smuggling Context

• How it gets in: Traffickers primarily hide the drugs in passenger vehicles (roughly 80% of seizures).
• Drug Cartels: The Sinaloa and CJNG cartels are the primary culprits for producing and moving the drug into the U.S..
• Limitations: Seizure data only represents what agents catch; it is estimated that a small percentage of total trafficking is intercepted, though the exact, total volume entering the country is unknown.

Lock this country down then, and dry it up. The border was the start. It needs to go way farther.

The JPOA was a total failure it never addressed rockets and Iran ignored it. Its the best example of Obamas incompetence in foreign policy. Then we have the red line in the sand. Iran knew Obama had no balls. They made an ass out of him

US Steel is Japan's, regime change in Iran failed, Maduro is captured (so what?), the Panama Canal is not ours. As for fentanyl.................

AI Overview

Fentanyl continues to be trafficked into the United States in high volumes, with [U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reporting that they have seized more fentanyl in the last two years than in the previous five years combined.

You've provided a shinning example of The Following's brainwashed delusion.

The world is rapidly changing for good in many ways under Trump.

Obama saved the U.S. auto industry

Obama saved thousands of democrat union jobs while hundreds of other industries collapsed with no bailout.

Yea Obama saved tens of thousands of automaking jobs in the US

Jobs that would have been gone for good

We know tens of thousands of jobs were not saved but most of those workers were not democrat union members. Obama blew billions of dollars attempting to energize the economy through socialist startup industries which collapsed as soon as the government money dried up.

Why not just say Obama saved the US auto industry?

Why not just say Obama saved the US auto industry?

Obama bailed out two auto makers. That was not the entire industry.

Are you talking about the money the automakers received in December 2008?

While Bush was President.

Under Obama, they didn't pay back the entire loan.

TARP under Bush was a gift

Obama made them restructure and give the U.S. shares as part of the loan

TARP was repaid, at a profit. Obama didn't change the structure of the original bank loans, they always included stock warrants.

Obama forgave $12 billion of the loans made to the automakers

Probably politically motivated by the Democrats running the deep state operations. Just because Democrats fell from power, does not mean that other power structures or powerful democrat people (who still hold and control those structures), aren't attempting to use that power in unhealthy ways to make Trump look bad to his followers or base.

If the base were a bunch of naive dumb aces, then the Democrats might have an edge, but unfortunately for the Democrats that isn't the case.

Again, no they did not.

Govt lost money on stock not the loan. What you fail to admit….from your link

The government lost money, but far less than initially expected when the program was launched in 2009. What's more, the program prevented GM and Chrysler from going out of business — an event most economists and automotive analysts said would have caused the entire industry to collapse and thrown the Midwest into a deep depression.
