Obama to Michigan to Tout Auto Recovery
ABC.com | Fri, 30 Jul 2010 07:39:38 -0400
administration controversially bailed out General Motors and Chrysler last year using tens of billions of taxpayer dollars.
Obama will visit General Motors and Chrysler assembly plants in the Motor City area and meet with workers. The GM plant produces the new Chevrolet Volt rechargeable electric car and is one of nine plants that the company will keep open during the standard two-week summer shutdown. The Chrysler plant makes the new Jeep Grand Cherokee and just added a second shift and 1,100 new jobs.
Next week Obama will travel to a Ford plant in Chicago that recently added 1,200 new workers as a result of a loan from the Department of Energy.
The president and his administration have consistently defended their decision to bail out the auto industry, calling it a difficult but necessary move in order to keep the domestic auto makers from falling over the economic cliff and save jobs.
The White House said Thursday that the auto bailout "certainly saved communities from economic devastation."
