President Obama: “Now this morning we learned that our economy grew by 2.4 percent in the second quarter of the year. So, that means it’s now been growing again for one full year. Our economy is growing again instead of shrinking.”

“Independent estimates suggest that more than 1 million jobs could have been lost if Chrysler and GM had liquidated. In the middle of a deep recession that would have been a brutal irreversible shock.”

“The hard truth is this industry lost a lot of jobs in recent years, some of those jobs aren’t coming back partly because automakers have become so much more efficient than they used to be, this is a lean, mean operation, so there are people who still lost their jobs, haven’t been hired back, and it wasn’t their fault, mistakes were made in managing the company that weren’t theirs.”

Did you tune in to hear the president’s thoughts? If so, what’d you think … and are you on the same page as the Commander in Chief when it comes to the quotes above?
