MSNBC: A GM success story? The biggest political story that few are talking about right now? GM’s initial public stock offering, which is set for this Thursday. Looks like it’s going to be a big success and a case where the government may just make money on this deal. This has the potential of being a very good story for the Obama White House, as well as a success of government intervention.

More amazing accomplishments by President Obama that will be swept under the rug by MSM, concern trolled by “progressives”, and lastly Teapulicans will be crickets. We are lucky to have a pragmatic President during these hard times, too bad America refuses to accept how great a job this man is doing for us. Best President ever!
