Byron Dorgan: “Isn't it interesting, when the Senator talks about a plant that is hiring new people that will produce a new automobile…”

“Isn't it interesting, when the Senator talks about a plant that is hiring new people that will produce a new automobile, which is putting people back to work, there is no social work in this country as a good job that pays well. That makes everything else possible. That is good news, but I haven't heard it. I haven't heard about the new plant in Ohio. What have I heard in the last week or two? About some nut in Florida wanting to burn the Koran. All the news organizations in America decided that is the big news--a minister with a congregation of 50 who decides he wants to burn the Koran. That is bad news, I guess, but it is sensational news of dysfunctional behavior. If you hold it up to the light, would you say this is ugly? Yes, but it is not America; it is just a nut. The good news somehow never gets covered. When a new plant is created to produce an automobile in this country from a company that probably would not exist today unless the people had the courage to say we need it, it seems to me that is good news. We seldom ever see it covered.”
