Oh, and speaking of driving, thanks to "big government," the big three of the American auto industry all posted a profit for the first time in six years

"I mean, think about it, these are the folks who were behind the steering wheel and drove the car into the ditch. So we've had to put on our galoshes, we went down there in the mud, we've been pushing, we've been shoving. They've been standing back, watching, saying, 'You're not moving fast enough, you ain't doing it right. (Laughter.) Why are you doing it that way? You got some mud on the car.' Right? (Applause.)

"That's all right. We don't need help. We're just going to keep on pushing. We push, we push. The thing is slipping a little bit, but we stay with it. Finally -- finally -- we get this car out of the ditch, where we're just right there on the blacktop. We're about to start driving forward again. They say, 'Hold on, we want the keys back.' (Laughter and applause.) You can't have the keys back -- you don't know how to drive. (Laughter and applause.) You don't know how to drive.

"And I do want to point out, when you get in your car, when you go forward, what do you do? You put it in 'D.' When you want to go back, what do you do? (Laughter.) You put it in 'R.' We won't do want to go into reverse back in the ditch. We want to go forwards. We got to put it in 'D.' (Applause.) Can't have the keys back." (Laughter.)
