It wasnt just in ohio but its been around the country. >> the president today said he told the ceo of gm that she better reopened plans in the u.s. soon. is that how these things work? by presidential fiat? >> i think the president challenged harley-davidson and got into it and was arguing and yelling at them and theyre now building plants overseas. and then there was the famous case of going to indianapolis trying to save that company and we find out that the promise there is were not made. you...

But she doesnt work for the president. she is not beholden to the massive tax cut she received. she is to optimize the company, execute their strategy going forward, perform for shareholders and sell cards. the president should know that. if he gave the tax cut with conditions, he should have included those conditions and that would be known as socialism. if you are a free markets guy which the president claims to be, a separate conversation would be we did all this for gm, they need to take car...
