Can you imagine Obama is "touting" the GM Dealing and Bailouts, as one of his successes?

Is There ANYTHING This President Is Telling Us That Even Closely Resembles The TRUTH???

Administration Pushes False General Motors Success Story

Of the top bailout recipients, General Motors (GM) is the biggest laggard, the TARP watchdog says in its latest quarterly report to Congress, says Investor's Business Daily.

• Bank of America, Citigroup, Chrysler and Chrysler Financial all have paid off their debt and left the TARP program.
• Even AIG has paid back more than 75 percent of what it owes taxpayers.
• GM, on the other hand, still owes more than half the $50 billion in federal funds it received when the combination of the recession and its costly union contracts drove it into bankruptcy.
• And its lending arm, GMAC (now Ally Financial), still owes $14.5 billion.

What's worse, it's not clear that GM actually repaid what it's gotten credit for repaying. Indeed, the inspector's report notes: "As part of a credit agreement with Treasury, $16.4 billion in TARP funds were placed in an escrow account that GM could access only with Treasury's permission."

As it turns out, GM got Treasury's OK to "repay" more than $6.7 billion "using a portion of the escrow account that had been funded with TARP funds." So GM is merely paying the government back with government money, not money GM is earning selling cars, as the administration has claimed.

Worse, GM in effect is still borrowing money. Consider this item from the report: "What remained in escrow was released to GM." Bottom line: Taxpayers have not been paid back and are still on the hook as GM continues to require government help.

Obama has been in full campaign mode since last July, and the taxpayers continue to foot the bill. His trips are for one reason, and one reason only, to campaign. If you noticed some of the coverage of these trips since the beginning of the year, he is already attacking the platform of each of the Republican candidates, and most recently Mitt Romney. Class warfare is one of his favorite talking points. Painting the entire conservative House and Senate groups as the ones that are roadblocks to implementing his agenda. He is just warming up,

Obama's Ex Girlfriend

Bill Tatro

Townhall

Let the games begin.

Gingrich’s ex-wife is paraded out for a tell-all about her marriage, creating doubts about Newt’s morality.

Rick Perry’s hunting camp rock of decades ago gets more ink than the Iranian war games, and he’s questioned about his bigotry.

Herman Cain is confronted with old girlfriends and we all know how that turned out.

I’m sure that if Michele Bachmann had fared better, we would have learned that she kicked her dog and underfed her dozens of children, making her a contemporary Mommie Dearest.

As for Ron Paul, well, in the media most dismiss him as just a wacko.  The mainstream media, contrary to their continued denouncements, is definitely biased.

I’m sure that comes as no revelation.  In fact, it’s probably a column not even worth writing.  Dismiss it, forget it, and move on.  That’s where; once again, it got me thinking.

Why has no former grade school, high school, or college classmate of Barack Hussein Obama  ever been found?

I’m sure his old classmates could have shed light on his personal life, such as his interests and hobbies.

Why hasn’t an old girlfriend emerged to tell about a wonderful date, or what a great boyfriend he was and how he was so sincere and understanding?

I believe Obama is a Marxist, in fact, I think he’s a Fascist.  Why don’t any of his former teachers come forward and defend him from statements like mine?  As Romney’s Bain Capital job is examined inside and out, where is the same examination of Barack Obama?

The mainstream media would say “Old news, just old news, move on.”  “He’s the President.”

Unfortunately, had the bias been dispensed with originally, maybe these questions would have been answered.

No matter how old it is, an unanswered question is still an unanswered question.  This President evokes uncertainties of both character and behavior every single day.

Statements and decisions that create an almost totalitarian atmosphere require that questions be asked and answers given. If these critical inquires are not made by the mainstream biased press, then they should be made by us, the citizens of the United States.

Will the same scrutiny be given to both Presidential candidates this time?  More than likely, the answer is no.

However, there should be equal scrutiny, and we must not only ask it and request it, but we must demand it.
