My First Auto Bailout Reader
See President Barack. President Barack runs the
Government.
Run, President Barack, run!
See President Barack’s friends. President Barack’s
friends say President Barack is a Great
President. See all of the reporters who
work for newspapers and magazines. The
reporters say President Barack is a
Great President.
Great President Barack!
The friends and the reporters also say that President
Barack is very, very smart. The
reporters are very, very smart, too.
Newspapers and magazines do not make any
money, but they all still have jobs
telling other people how to run their
lives!
Smart President Barack! Smart friends! Smart
reporters!
See the Auto Companies. The Auto Companies do not make
any money either. Poor Auto Companies!
President Barack wants to help the Auto Companies.
That is one reason the smart friends and
reporters say President Barack is a
Great President.
See the Auto Workers. The Auto Companies do not make
money because they paid the Auto Workers
too much. President Barack wants to help
the Auto Workers. The Auto Workers gave
President Barack a lot of money to help
him become a Great President. Smart Auto
Workers!
See the Bond Holders. The Bond Holders gave the Auto
Companies a lot of money to help them
build autos. The Auto Companies must
give the Bond Holders their money back
when they are done building autos. But
the Auto Companies do not have any money
to give the Bond Holders. Poor Bond
Holders!
President Barack does not want to help the Bond
Holders. He says they are greedy,
because they want their money back from
the Auto Companies. Greedy Bond Holders!
President Barack also does not want to help the Bond
Holders because they did not give him a
lot of money to become a Great
President. Silly Bond Holders!
President Barack has lots and lots of ways he wants to
help the Auto Companies and the Auto
Workers. He wants the Auto Workers and
the Government to own the Auto Companies
instead of the Bond Holders. Having the
Auto Workers and the Government as
owners will help the Auto Companies
because . . . well, because.
President Barack also wants to help the Earth and the
Polar Bears. So he wants the Auto
Companies to build lots and lots of
small cars nobody wants to buy.
President Barack and the smart friends
and reporters say small cars will make
the Earth greener and keep polar bears
from drowning. Building lots and lots of
small cars will also help the Auto
Companies because . . . well, because.
President Barack wants people to pay lots and lots of
money to use gasoline. President Barack
and his smart friends and the smart
reporters say that making people pay
lots and lots of money to use gasoline
will also help the Earth and polar
bears. Making people pay lots and lots
of money to use gasoline will also make
it cost much, much more for people to
buy and use the small cars that nobody
wants to buy. This will help the Auto
Companies because . . . well, because.
President Barack wants the Auto Companies to build
lots and lots of autos that use
alternative energy. Alternative energy
cars will cost even more and more to buy
and even fewer people will want to buy
them. Making lots and lots of
alternative energy cars will help the
Auto Companies because . . . well,
because.
President Barack says we need to save the American
Auto Companies. President Barack means
Auto Companies that have headquarters in
Detroit and American Auto Workers who
give President Barack lots and lots of
money. President Barack does not mean
Auto Companies that make autos in
America but have headquarters in Japan
and Germany and American Auto Workers
who do not give President Barack lots
and lots of money. We need to save
American Auto Companies because . . .
well, because.
President Barack is very, very smart. Smart President
Barack!
