Bush was president, but Paul Ryan still blames President Obama

Via dKos’s Jed Lewison:

Ryan said the factory closed because gas prices had climbed to $4 per gallon. Gas prices were that high, but that was in June of 2008, when George W. Bush was the president. Gas prices today are lower than they were then, though they do remain high.

Ryan also claimed the President Obama had promised to keep the factory open—but that’s not true according to The Detroit News, USA Today, and TPM.

There are more sleazy Ryan details at the link.

What will Willard say? And does it even matter? They’re admitted snake oil salesmen.
