Chart of the Day: The Resurgence of the American Automotive Industry

Yesterday, the White House released a report [http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/uploads/auto_report_06_01_11.pdf?utm_source=060211&utm_medium=intro&utm_campaign=daily]  that highlights the resurgence of the American auto industry.
