President Obama will travel to Detroit Wednesday to tout the rebounding auto industry, a centerpiece of the president’s defense of his handling of the economy.
The only problem?
The Ford plant where Obama will hold the event is temporarily closed because of a sagging demand for the small cars and hybrid vehicles the facility produces. The shortage of demand has been exacerbated by the lowering price of gas, according to analysts, as consumers flock to sports utility vehicles and other larger cars.
A *perfect* venue for another one of Obama’s failed policies.
Obama to tout auto recovery at closed Ford plant because of low demand for hybrids
The White House confirmed Monday that President Barack Obama will visit Ford Motor Co.’s Michigan Assembly plant on Wednesday — a factory that is closed this week because of lagging demand for its small gasoline-powered and hybrid cars.

Empty-Chair POTUS Brags He Saved Auto Industry…At Empty Ford Plant

Obama wants me to buy a car? He needs to leave me enough money to afford one. Or, he needs to allow the economy to grow to the point where I can be employed past part-time hell.
The plant has been shutdown since Dec. 24. as part of Ford's normal business cycle. All Ford plants in North America were shut down for two weeks, or from Dec. 24 to Jan. 4. The 5,000 workers are scheduled to return to work next week.

Wanna know why they aren't selling that well?
No one can afford them ...

I think he should give his famous "you didn't make that" speech. I'd like to see how well that would go over.

Yeah it would be funny to see how many people that are too stupid to understand what he would be talking about. Like it was quite funny to laugh at the idiots in the MSM that didn't understand what he was talking about the first time he said it.

Obama: If You've Got A Business, You Didn't Build That
Obama says success is not a result of someone working hard or being smart and that if you started your own business, you didn't build it yourself. (July 13, 2012).

I am an employee at this facility. I find it ironic that they would pick an auto plant where a product being made has suffered from low sales for at least eight months. We have been laid off at least one week every month. I wish the news media would stop saying it's just holiday downtime.
Unless sales pick up, the next news that comes from our plant will be that we will be losing a shift.
