1. I see, Obama shut down his car dealership.
"Obama caused warts to grow on my ass, Obama caused my lawn to turn brown, Obama caused my kid to take drugs.."

2. I alerted on this
The poster "cy" looks to be owner of the cyinterview site and it's not really the post of an interview but a re-direct and totally suspect. Pure bullshit from another Obama hater.

4. Good thing he's a teabagger so he can pull himself up by his bootstraps.
I don't see what's the problem. Can't find work? Just pull a job out of your ass like any self respecting conservative. Isn't that what they expect the rest of the unemployed to do?

5. This guy is really full of shit
“When I went and got a real job, I got a job at a car dealership and I was part of one of the Chrysler dealerships that got shut down by the Obama Administration."

Obama fought to save the car companies and the republicans did not.
If the car companies had shut down he would not have had a job
and Chrysler was the one that closed the dealerships

“If we’re gonna fix this, they’re gonna have to ask a lot of people to take some pretty tough cuts who are employees of the government and who are out there doing things and yeah, I think if they led by example and said, ‘Ok, not only are we gonna cut our pay, we’re gonna cut our pay more than we’re asking you to sacrifice and to do that I think would go a long ways to show people that this isn’t about attacking one group, this is about solving the problem… As long as it sticks to spending cuts and not increases, then yeah, I would put everything on the table.”

By not putting tax increases on the table then you are not putting everything on the table

6. Blaming Obama for job loss is like blaming the MLB commissioner when your team loses.

11. Dim...this guy's fellow travelers wanted to shutter Chrysler up and the President
didn't select his dealership for closure so I guess he really what? For the company to be nationalized and all the dealerships kept open or something? How was his particular place of employment supposed to be kept running?

I don't get the complaint.
