Boehner Dismisses Auto Industry Turn Around

Republicans cannot give Barack Obama one iota of credit, so they want and need a high misery index, they think, to help boost GOP turnout in the 2012 presidential election.

The rest of us need to turn them out of office instead.

Discounting the importance of the US auto industry recovery - - up from the depths to which Republicans and George Bush sank the entire economy - - is a mean-spirited and plain stupid response to the success of an emergency, time-limited federal program that saved tens of thousands of American jobs and has helped build and sell millions of more efficient and better-built vehicles.
