Figures.
I hope people still remember all of the car lots run by republican donors forced into closing after Obama bought GM.

I remember that, and I worked in management at a car dealer until our dealership closed in 2008.

Although people tried to make a big deal about that, there is one fact that gets in the way. Automobile dealers did not donate to Obama's campaign. The email about that said that only 1% or 2% of the GM dealerships closed were "Obama supporters." If that's true, then Obama supporters were overrepresented in the closing.

If you check opensecrets.org, you'll find that auto dealers donated far less than 1% of their total political contributions to Obama in the 2008 presidential campaign. And the number of Obama donors was also far less than 1% of the total donors from that industry.

Auto dealers knew what Obama was and that he would end their industry. Almost no auto dealers supported The Won.
