Obama Touts US Auto Industry Recovery at D.C. Auto Show

Hailing an economic recovery story that he hopes will propel him to reelection, President Obama today declared “the U.S. auto industry is back.”

“When you look at all these cars, it is testimony to the outstanding work that’s been done by workers — American workers, American designers,” the president said in a surprise visit to the Washington Auto Show this afternoon.

While he did not mention Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney by name, Obama, who has made his efforts to rescue Chrysler and General Motors a key part of his campaign strategy, was quick to point out that some people opposed the auto industry bailout.

“It’s good to remember the fact that there were some folks who were willing to let this industry die,” Obama said. Romney has criticized the bailout, saying it “was the wrong way to go” and that the companies should have gone through bankruptcy instead.

This economy is going to recover in spite of the obstructionist and negative media.
