Obama Propaganda Doc Contains $25 Billion Error

For those of you who don't know, Raw Story is an openly left-wing site. If the falsehood about GM repaying their bailout is so glaring that even a Raw Story feels compelled to point it out, some re-shoots might be in order.

Hopefully, the doc's narrator, Tom Hanks, is available to record something closer to the truth this time. My guess is that he'll make time even if he is rushing into production a HBO "docu-drama" called "Mitt Romney's Three Wives" -- which at this point would surprise no one.

Raw Story:

The Obama 2012 campaign has released a short film called “The Road We’ve Traveled,” detailing the challenges faced by President Barack Obama’s administration from day one through the start of the campaign.

But it’s not all roses for team Obama: part of the film contains a gross inaccuracy. Specifically, it claims that General Motors (GM) has fully repaid its federal bailout loan. It has not — meaning the documentary contains a $25 billion error.

Of the nearly $50 billion given to GM, just under half has been repaid to the government. Officials still argue the auto bailouts were a good investment due to the hundreds of thousands of jobs saved by that decision, and it is accurate to say that GM has returned to record profits — as have all the other major American automakers.

Has there ever been another president who whined like a little bitch about how hard their job is? What a pathetic little twit.

Obama should have the SS put a muzzle on the Brietbart site as they seem to be tell truths that the State Run MSM have hidden from the public. If I was the reporter I would not go out late at night as it might be unhealthy..

....next time you HAVE TO speak to a libtard, simple ask them, if the banks had repaid ALL their loads (billions), and GM has paid back all their debt WITH INTEREST (billions).....why hasn’t the the national debt ever gone down?

Same reason you never get any change when you give your kid ten bucks to buy a gallon of milk.

I know people who actually believe GM paid the government back. When you point out to them that the part they DID pay was with money from another loan, you get that “I’m stupid and don’t want to hear facts” look.

“......meaning the documentary contains a $25 billion error.”

It is NOT an “error”, it a damn lie.
