Despite President Barack Obama's stories about a resurgent GM ready to repay its bailout tab, the automaker and its former bank still owe taxpayers nearly $42 billion, according to an inspector general's report.

Obama has lied about the GM bailout since day one. The Inspector General pointed out the taxpayers will lose billions and so did Obama's Treasury Department, yet Obama continues to lie on the campaign trail.

GM owes $27 billion on the nearly $50 billion it received from the auto bailout and Ally Bank, the company's lending arm, owes $14.7 billion of the $17.2 billion taxpayer-funded bailout it received.

Obama has promoted the auto bailout as a success story, highlighting the manufacturing jobs it may have saved in swing states such as Ohio and Michigan.

"I refused to turn my back on a great industry and American workers. I bet on American workers. I bet on American manufacturing," he said at a campaign rally in Oakland. "Three years later, the American auto industry has come roaring back."

GM's stock has plummeted in recent months after stagnant development in overseas markets. It hit a new low on Wednesday, falling to $18.80, a 52 percent drop from its January 2011 high of $38.90.
