Maybe they will vote for Obama so that he can further strengthen the UAW, who fights for the "little guy" so they can make 100k a year installing airbags and be unfireable, while penalizing the "greedy fat cat" employer until he can no longer make a profit. GM still sells about as many cars as Toyota, and more cars than any other auto maker in the world, the problem is they lose money because of excessive salaries and endless benefits forced upon them by the UAW and their strong armed tactics. The "little guy", backed by the UAW has sucked the life out of a once unrivaled powerhouse in the auto industry. They lose money when they make a car, and if they don't make a car, they lose more money because the union contracts force them to pay employees for not making cars. This is why US auto makers can't survive a slow down in the economy when car sales falter, and this is why Ford & GM are closing US plants and opening them in Mexico.
Obama wants to do the same thing on a larger scale to the US. Spread the Wealth, only worse, you don't even have to work to benefit from his plan.
