Granholm Waxes Rhapsodic on Obama’s Economic Successes

Jennifer Granholm's DNC Speech Described as 'Over the Top,' 'Energizing' (Christian Post)

Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm electrified the audience at the Democratic National Convention Thursday night with an energized speech focusing on the American auto industry, which President Barack Obama chose to save with an $85 billion bailout package in 2009.

Some observers have called Granholm's speech inspiring, while others found her over-the-top energy to be strange.

"The entire auto industry, and the lives of over one million hard-working Americans, teetered on the edge of collapse; and with it, the whole manufacturing sector," Granholm yelled to the audience at the DNC in Charlotte, S.C., yesterday evening.

"We looked everywhere for help. Almost nobody had the guts to help us -– not the banks, not the private investors and not Bain capital. Then, in 2009, the cavalry arrived: our new president, Barack Obama," the former governor added.
