It is being reported that Government Motors (GM) will invest $500 million to build an engine/vehicle plant in northeastern Mexico. This makes me irate on so many levels that I don't even know where to begin. If President Obama were truly concerned about U.S. unemployment, then he would invest that $500 million building a plant in this country. Better yet, that money could be used to make over the retired Janesville and/or Spring Hill, Tennessee plants to be used for this purpose. He is nothing more than an arrogant, totalitarian blowhard. He can give all his fancy speeches about how much he cares about getting Americans back to work, then turn around and pull this. Your actions do not match your words, Mr. President. United States taxpayers still own 61 percent of GM, so as a majority owner in concert with my fellow citizens, I demand that this be put to a vote. Let the actual shareholders have a voice in where the cash will be invested. I guarantee you that it won't be going outside the country. But then, I forget. The American people are busy clinging to our God and our guns. We are too stupid to know what is best for us, so the nanny state must come riding to the rescue. Thank you, Barack Hussein Obama, for your thoughtfulness toward the American worker. I really don't know how you are able to sleep at night.
