Let's not get overly dramatic here - this is an absolute tragedy for the city of Detroit. That's a fact. Extending anywhere past that is just hyperbole.
This post makes it sound like it will have no effect on anywhere but Detroit and that it is only affecting blue collar workers on the assembly line. I would think that the people who work in the 100,000 dealerships around the country feel differently.

They are hardly limited to Michigan.

That doesn't include suppliers, many of whom are not in Michigan. I guess we'll see how bad it could get if Bush doesn't assist. If he does, some will never believe how bad it would have been.
