From the debt ceiling debacle to the death of Osama bin Laden, it was an eventful year in office for the nation's 44th president.
President Barack Obama hailed the rebound of the U.S. auto industry on Tuesday as he sat inside a classic American muscle car, plug-in electric hybrids and burly trucks during a tour of the Washington Auto Show.
He declared "The U.S. auto industry is back."
Obama emphasized his administration's rescue of General Motors and Chrysler from the brink of collapse as Romney was surging in Florida's GOP primary, a contest that could bring him a step closer to winning the Republican nomination.
