RE:Justhalffull remember obama gave General Motors What it got is 100,000 plus autoworker jobs, and another 100,000 car dealership and auto maintenance jobs.n GM had lost $80 million or so in the two years prior to the bailout, and due to the financial crisis could not borrow any money from anyone, and was anout to shut down. And GM paid back all of the loan plus interest. The government lost money only because they sold the equity they received in Gm too early. Guess you would also be against the TARP program put together by Bush as well huh. Or is your gripe just your political bent.
