Automaker NOT Owned by the Government Posts $2.7 Billion Profit

The Democrats just don't get it and never will. How dare a private company succeed in these tough economic times without handouts from the imperial federal government?

Well, somehow Ford managed to do just that.

Ford Motor Co. says it made $2.7 billion in 2009, its first annual profit in four years.

Ford says it benefited from cost-cutting, debt reduction and popular cars and trucks like the Ford Fusion sedan and Escape SUV. It's enjoying customer goodwill for avoiding bankruptcy and refusing federal aid.

Meanwhile, Government Motors continues to bleed money and Chrysler showed up to the recent Detroit auto show with no new models to display.

Message to Democrats: Get the hell out of the way and watch this economy recover.

I'm beginning to think they don't want us to recover.
