Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, "where the trees are just the right height," went old school and delivered a barn burner of a speech on President Obama's rescue of the auto industry that had the convention hall rocking before the main speakers of the night. I've never seen her so fired up, she was really feeling it from the delegates.
"Now sure, sure, Mitt Romney loves our lakes and our trees. He loves our cars so much they even have their own elevator. But the people who design and build and sell those cars? Well, in Romney's world the cars get the elevator and the workers get the shaft! You know what I'm saying" (wink).
Granholm brilliantly led a recitation of auto jobs saved in each of the 'battleground" states that brought the convention hall to its feet to a chant of "USA! USA! USA!"
"In your car and on your ballot the 'D' is for drive forward, the 'R' is for reverse. In this election we are driving forward, not back."

Oh, Mitt Romney!
To the tune of “Oh Susannah”
He wants our vote for President
But he won’t tell us why.
He thought it was a good idea
Since he was three feet high.#
He lost to the man who lost in turn
To our current President.
He lost for VP, and to Kennedy,
But he thinks he’s heaven sent.
Oh Mitt Romney
You just make me laugh
Your cars get an elevator but
The people get the shaft!^
He’d shaft all the young people
No chance to get a loan.
Unless you’ve got rich parents
Kid, you’re on your own.
He’d shaft all the women
He’d nationalize your bits.
When it comes to your autonomy
He’s joined the prats and twits.
Oh Mitt Romney
You just make me laugh
Your cars get an elevator but
The people get the shaft!
He’d shaft all the seniors
Their medicare he’d destroy
With a forced swap for a voucher
Mitt, that’s a cheap ploy.
He’d shaft every one of us
With giveaways to the rich
Add to the debt, steal from the poor,
Same old bait and switch
Oh Mitt Romney
Your priorities are daft
Your cars get an elevator but
The people get the shaft
He’d stoke racial resentment
Homosexuals he’d haze
Anything to get elected
He’s willing to try these days
His choice of lyin’ Ryan
Should really make you cry
If the nuts in congress say “Mitt, Jump!
He’ll only ask “How high?”
Oh Mitt Romney
You just make me laugh
Your cars get an elevator but
The people get the shaft
As gov’ he was 47th
In job creation despite
Raising fees and taxes-
Romney, that’s not right!
His jobs record is awful
His plan is even worse
Four million jobs less in just two years*
It’s enough to make me curse
Oh Mitt Romney
You just make me laugh
Your cars get an elevator but
The people get the shaft
#The perfect height.
^Thanks to Gov. Granholm for inspiring this song.
*According to the Economic Policy Institute, that’s the likely effect of the Romney-Ryan plan in 2013-2014.
Jennifer Granholm drove our state into the ground. She has to be one of the WORST governers ever! thank ggodness she spoke for the Democrats, becasue she is helping Romney and Ryna get elected!!!!
