Fact: The plant was notified of it's closing in Feb 2008, way before Obama showed up saying it should "stay open" for a hundred more years.
And it was on the list of factories to be saved by the bailout: Heres what GazetteXtra.com, a Janesville paper, reported on Feb 2, 2009: Full-size sport utility vehicle production has ended at the local General Motors plant, but medium-duty truck production is continuingnot startingin Janesville. And it likely will continue into May, when the lights finally go off in the facility that has been producing vehicles since 1923. When GM officials announced last June that SUV production would cease in Janesville, they also said that medium-duty truck production would conclude by the end of 2009, or sooner if market conditions dictate. Whats more, the administration actually did consider keeping the Janesville plant alive after it nationalized GM by commandeering the bankruptcy process. According to Shepardsons story: In June 2009, GM considered three sites to locate a small car: its Orion plant in Michigan; Janesville, Wis.; and a Spring Hill, Tenn., plant slated to close in November. GM picked Orion and later reopened Spring Hill. Now why would Obama choose to close the only plant he had actively suggested hed keep open? Could it possibly have something to do with the fact that it was in Ryans (Republican) hometown? Just askin .
