Biden to Take On Ryan’s GM Attack

The Obama administration isn’t going to take Paul Ryan’s claim that a GM plant in his hometown closed under Obama’s watch lying down. The media have been all over factual inaccuracies of the claim, but now Joe Biden’s on the case. At a campaign rally Friday, Biden will set the record straight: “Congressman Ryan was right about one thing. It was devastating for the community and those people. But what he didn’t tell you was that plant in Janesville actually closed while President Bush was still in office,” according to excerpts from his planned speech. “And what they didn’t say is, but for the sacrifices you made and the courage of the president, all those GM plants would have closed.”
