"Plants like this are churning out groundbreaking cars like the Chevy Sonic, the only one of its kind made and sold in the United States of America." said President Obama, at a General Motors plant, after touting the success of the auto-industry bailouts.
"You gotta sit in that car, its got a lot of room in it," Obama added. "Even for a tall guy like me."
Concluding his speech, Obama reminded the audience, "These cars represent the American spirit."
Obama reminded the audience that he saved the American auto industry from collapse, thanks to the government bailouts of GM and Chrysler.
"There were a lot of politicians who said that it was not worth the time or not worth the money," said Obama, "In fact there are a lot of politicians who still say that."
"Today, I can stand here and say that investment paid off." he said. "The taxpayers are being repaid."
