Dispatch:
Vice President Joe Biden, who describes himself as a blue collar guy from gritty Scranton, Pa., appealed to autoworkers here today to give him and President Barack Obama a second term, saying they need more time to complete the economic recovery....
....Biden said the president “didn’t flinch” in deciding to allocate $62 billion in 2009 to bail out Chrysler and General Motors.
“He knew rescuing the industry wasn’t popular,” Biden said. “He knew he was taking a chance. But he believed. He said, ‘We are not going to give up on a million jobs, and the iconic industry America invented. Not without a fight.’ ”

Yep. The Republicans are at it again.
