I work in Livingston County and didn't have time to make the trek northwest across the state to Grand Rapids.  Wish I had.  I saw Obama at the Detroit Economic Club last year and, let's just say the crowd was quite different.  He gave the speech he references all the time now.  You know the one -  where he says he went to Detroit and told the automakers that we need to make more fuel efficient cars?  When Obama says the crowd didn't really like it, he's not lying.  Though I loved it, but being a liberal Dem, I am definitely in the minority among the staid members of the Economic Club. :)
