![]() ![]() There was no way Obama could have saved that auto plant without also discovering time travel.ĭespite his problems with calendars, how did Ryan fare when it came to his own record? Well, he also inveighed against Obama on the national debt: This was not just before Barack Obama was inaugurated or even elected it was the same day he won his own party’s nomination. Russ Feingold (D) and Herb Kohl (D) sent a letter that month to GM CEO Rick Wagoner asking him to reconsider. Ryan also conveniently forgot to mention that GM announced the closure of the plant in early June 2008. Set aside that he voted for the big-government auto bailout. Set aside the fact that Paul Ryan, in a fit of anti-Randianism, asked for government funds to save the plant. And that’s how it is in so many towns today, where the recovery that was promised is nowhere in sight. Well, as it turned out, that plant didn’t last another year. Right there at that plant, candidate Obama said: “I believe that if our government is there to support you … this plant will be here for another hundred years.” That’s what he said in 2008. Ryan spoke about the GM plant in his hometown of Janesville:Ī lot of guys I went to high school with worked at that GM plant. Let’s start with the chronologically impossible. Yesterday, at an ABC News panel, Mitt Romney pollster Neil Newhouse said, “We’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers.” Wednesday’s speech from Paul Ryan certainly took that disdain for truth to heart, as his address was filled with falsehoods from start to finish. ![]()
