We in Michigan know who are friends are after the last few weeks.
Top of the list -- Sen. Carl Levin. If this were a war, he'd get the Medal of Honor for his staunch defense in public and tireless work behind the scenes on behalf of the automobile industry.
Close second -- Sen. Debbie Stabenow. A great appearance on the "Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC on Friday (December 12, 2008).
Then there's Gov. Jennifer Granholm and Lt. Gov. John Cherry, who appeared tired and worn in a news conference on Friday after all their efforts. Michigan Liberal has the video.
UAW President Ron Gettelfinger starred in his news conference on Friday, also. Too bad the news media only focuses on his quote about Senate Republicans hoping for a "too-fer" -- stabbing organized labor and helping foreign countries and foreign companies. (Good grief, helping foreign companies. Is that putting country first?)
He had a lot more to say than that.
It isn't over yet, thanks to all their work.

This seems to breaking down on polical lines as well.
rightmichigan.com had a piece yesterday boasting the effectiveness of the southern republicans. Sickening isn't it?
No, Judy. Our biggest friend is President George W. Bush. After the Senate let this state down, George W. Bush is going to save Michigan.
Give credit where credit is due.
George Bush drove the car into the ditch in the first place.
