Obama defends takeover of GM, Chrysler
Associated Press

President Barack Obama says General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC must emerge from their restructuring as "leaner, meaner" companies and that a substantial market awaits them if they make the right decisions.
Obama said in an interview broadcast Saturday on C-SPAN that the beleaguered automakers should aim to have product lines that appeal to consumers — and that means fuel efficient and high-performance vehicles that Americans hunger for.
Fuel efficient, high-performance, and affordable.
PICK ANY TWO.
:thatsright:

If it's fuel efficient it's not high performance and vice versa. :mental:

This guy can't run a car company ... but we've decided he'll run the country.
That's just crazy.
BTW, I admire your avatar. Anyone who knows who it is is a friend of mine right away. :lmao:

Heh. It's a vicious circle. The reason you
have so many kids is to pedal and wind the rubber band.

Ouch...
With a stroke of the pen, Barack Obama has imposed higher fuel-economy standards on the American auto industry. Those standards can only be met by making the average car smaller and lighter than consumers prefer. The inevitable result is that thousands of innocent Americans, possibly tens of thousands, will die painful and sometimes fiery deaths, while many thousands more will be seriously injured. This prospect apparently gave Obama no pause whatsoever. He has never so much as hinted that he sees a moral dimension in the trade-off between human life and reduced carbon emissions.
On the other hand, Obama sees the brief and physically harmless discomfort of three terrorists as posing a moral crisis of almost unparalleled dimension, necessitating endless apology and hand-wringing. The contrast in Obama's priorities is striking, to say the least. I would submit that this is what happens when you substitute preening for intelligent policy-making.

Once again the Magic Negro proves that he has not a clue about how things work in the REAL world.
