US Cities Quotes



President George W. Bush had forestalled the Automobile Industry bankruptcy so that incoming President Obama could organize a rescue and reform of the industry. This was very effective and the industry was more profitable than ever in a few years. Romney however, had already changed his political persona from his previous moderate Republican to the hard right ideological base of the Republican party. In the election of 2012, he lost every Midwestern state whose economy was dependent on the auto industry, even though a number of them had elected Republican Governors and legislatures. This quotation was the subject of tens of thousands of pro-Obama campaign commercials. It made Romney’s last minute attempt to morph back to being a moderate seem silly in those Midwestern states.
