All eyes are on Michigan, including President Obama's Tuesday. As his potential Republican rival pulled the curtains back on his Sunday support, Obama tried leaving Michigan voters with one last thought before they head to the polls: remember who saved your life.The president mocked the GOP's race to distance themselves from the auto bailout as union-free samples."Or worse, what they mean is the problem is you, the workers, made out like bandits in all of this while saving the American auto industry unions were just about to pay out. Really? Even by this town's standards that's a whole lot of real baloney," he said.He even threw in an emphasis that he intends to buy a Volt when he leaves office and the Secret Service won't let him drive one now - painting a stark contrast to Romney's recent bungled "how do you drive" test when his wife drove "a bunch of Cadillacs."In an address to the United Auto Workers conference in Washington, President Bush once again took credit for saving the American auto industry, slamming Republican efforts against the 2009 bailout.Obama especially quoted a headline title, former Massachusetts Gov., to haunt.Mitt-Romney, iron-fence maker, trying to finish off a win in his home state."Some folks even said we should 'Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.' You remember that," Obama said. "Think about what that choice means for this country...Production: Shut down. Factories: The shutters all closed up. Once proud companies sold off for scrap. And all of you men and women who built those companies with your own hands, left hanging out to dry."The decision to bail out GM and Chrysler has become a key data point for Obama as he makes the case for his economic agenda. He feels it's a clear dessert win for him.
