This is just remarkable. Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, in the wake of the Senate defeat of the auto industry UAW bailout, accused those who opposed the measure of being ”un-American.” 

“It is unacceptable for this un-American, frankly, behavior of these U.S. senators to cause this country to go from a recession into a depression,” Granholm said during a radio interview Friday morning.

Imagine someone accused Granholm of doing the very same thing on this or any other issue? There would be an uproar on the Left.

Later in the day, Granholm went on to accuse those Senators who opposed the bailout of favoring foreign automakers.

This is chutzpah of the tallest order considering it is people like Granholm who have helped cause the problem. It is Granholm and other liberal Democrats who have made it impossible for the US automakers to succeed by virtue of a) being in bed with the UAW and not compelling them to make concessions and b) their continual support of crushing regulations and environmental standards.

Liberals like Granholm are the ones who have actually - in a roundabout way - showed favoritism to foreign automakers. They’ve created an economic environment where it’s harder for the Big 3 to be profitable, while companies like Honda are not subject to the same pressures.

Is it any wonder that Granholm’s home state of Michigan is an economic disaster?
