What decades of Democrats being in control will get you...

Of course leadership is to blame, if their job isn't to keep the city running, what is? However as several others have stated, there are a number of factors that led to Detroit's current state, one of which was the decline of the auto industry. David mentioned that the bankruptcy filing didn't list it specifically but it seems pretty obvious that the decrease in population and increase in violence were at least partially outcomes of that industry's decline. You may think that the auto industry had no responsibility to Detroit and I won't argue against you, but that doesn't mean their actions didn't have a huge impact.

WAIT A SECOND

wasnt it Obama and Biden during the 12 election who had catch phrases of "OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD AND GM IS BACK"

Obama gave tons of speeches about how GM wa sback at the TOP of the auto industry.

Was that all LIES?
