Your Daily Snapshot for
Wednesday, February 1, 2012

Yesterday, President Obama made the trip across town to the Washington Auto Show to look at some of the incredible new vehicles being built by Detroit and said:

Let me just say, when you look at all these cars, it is testimony to the outstanding work that's been done by workers -- American workers, American designers. The U.S. auto industry is back. The fact that GM is back, number one, I think shows the kind of turnaround that's possible when it comes to American manufacturing.
