How Soon We Forget...Or at Least Paul Ryan Did

I saw this item today in Daily Kos. It seems that Paul Ryan gave a speech (in Ohio, I think) where he blamed Obama for the GM plant closing in his hometown of Janesville, Wisconsin. The only problem is that the plant closed while George W was in the White House. The last SUV came off the assembly line in December of 2008, and was planned for well before that. The video from Kos gives a pretty good chronology.

Well...for one thing, Janesville residents may wonder why Ryan has such a shaky grasp of the city's recent history, but oh well. Oh yeah...the $4 gasoline he talks about must be the $4 gasoline price when Bush was president, earlier in 2008. I guess he forgot that, too?
