U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow talked with my colleague Jo Mannies at a rally downtown today.

Stabenow, a Michigan Democrat, was at the event with displaced or soon-to-be-displaced autoworkers, all of whom contended that the Democratic presumptive presidential nominee, Barack Obama, best understood the challenges facing the auto industry.

After her press conference, Stabenow provided Jo — in her first-ever stint shooting video for our website (and she’ll be doing more of it at the conventions) — offered this clip:

    Detroit has a collapsing economy, a mayor charged with a pile of felonies, slums that make north St. Louis look like a country club … and Tim Hogan’s solution is to enact more of the policies that Stabenow supports. Great idea, Tim!

    Stabenow has lead a one state recession for years now, and she expects her same failed policies to work across the country? Get real.

    Nothing like a proven failure (Stabenow) as an example for the country.

    Even as more and more manufacturing jobs are outsourced(“a good thing” accordinbg to W’s economic advisors!)it is critical that we enact a single payor healthcare plan to eliminate these costs from manufacturing and make our products competetive with those subsidized by such plans in other countries.

    Obama’s tax policies would also benefit the middle class instead of further destroying it like BushMccain’s plans.
