President Barack Obama, visiting a General Motors plant for the first time since his administration effectively took over the company, told autoworkers here once-mighty GM is starting to turn around.

President believes in GM

lmao i love how the news ad that showed up for me says "Obama Socialist? Vote here Now!"

[Northstar]

Of course Obama is pro-GM. Who honestly thinks he's going to dump billions into bailing out GM and then root for them to collapseb?

[Drew Dowdell]

You think Obama wants to be known as the President that allowed GM to fold under his watch? Bush didn't want that title either, that's why he provided just enough loans to get GM to March.

Your food is heavily subsidized and thus whenever you eat you are the recipient of welfare.

So yes, every person and company in the nation is the recipient of welfare.

i meant i'm fairly certain vegetables aren't directly subsidized...hence why salad seems so expensive compared to beef and other things.
