NADA criticizes Obama over president's praise for GM dealer reinstatements? — Autoblog

If he reopens 661 dealerships he can put those on the plus side of the jobs ledger! Now, never you mind how does a dealer rebuild the trust with GM, his sales staff and his customers who have gone else where. Obama's never worked in the profit sector, so why would you expect him to have the answers?

"One of the most contentious aspects of General Motors' 2009 bankruptcy was the forced closing of 1,160 dealerships across the country. GM brass and the Obama Administration Task Force insisted that a smaller dealer body was necessary to make the Detroit, MI-based automaker viable again, while also helping to make the remaining dealers stronger. Opponents of dealer closings pointed to the thousands of dealership employees who would lose a job at a time when jobs are harder than ever to find. Dealers are also often among the most powerful small business owners in small towns, and that meant that the local congressmen were put in a tough spot, indeed."
