President Barack Obama will visit Ford Motor’s Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri on September 20, 2013, reports The Detroit News.
Obama, who made the $85 billion auto bailout a cornerstone of his 2012 re-election bid, is visiting Ford’s plant to tout the fact that others benefited from the rescue of the economy. Ford did not receive a government bailout.
According to the White House, Obama would travel to the plant “where he will continue to highlight the progress we have made since the beginning of the financial crisis five years ago and the work that lies ahead to continue strengthening our economy and deliver a better bargain for the middle class.”
“We look forward to hosting President Obama at Ford this Friday,” Ford spokeswoman Christin Baker said in a statement. “Our Kansas City Assembly Plant is a great example of how Ford is contributing to U.S. economic growth and job creation. …”
