and then Michigan&rsquo;s worst Governor, Jenny Granholm, did her version of the demented &ldquo;Howard Dean&rdquo; and boasted about how Obama and the Democrats had saved the automaker from destruction.<br />

The truth is that an analysis by the independent fact-checking group ProPublica found that for all the purported success, the auto bailouts are on track to be the most costly move for the federal Treasury from the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, with losses far exceeding the costs of bailing out Wall Street&rsquo;s banks and investment firms.<br />

Despite record profits at GM in recent quarters, its share price of $22.45 still is about $30 less than the break-even price that the federal government needs to unload its remaining 26 percent share of the company without a loss. GM has paid back $22.8 billion of the $50.7 billion in TARP money it received under Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama, while GMAC (rechristened Ally Financial), the Detroit automaker&rsquo;s financing arm, still owes almost $14 billion of the $16.2 billion it received from taxpayers.<br />
