Summary: It's a hot topic in the battleground state of Ohio -- the 2008 multibillion-dollar bailout of the automobile industry by the Bush and Obama administrations. An important swing state with 18 electoral votes and thousands of auto workers, Ohio has voted for the winner in every presidential election since 1960. John Davis, the Emmy Award-winning host, executive producer and creator of Maryland Public Television’s MotorWeek, assesses the state of the U.S. automotive industry four years after the bailout initiated by President Bush, expanded by President Obama and criticized by Mitt Romney.
